I can somewhat allow for the unrealistic trial with certain parts not being believable, where it comes unstuck for me is the son Adam. Adam for me has been the weakest character in the series so far often resorting to things that make no sense. His triangle relationship causes him bother and although he has developed a close bond with Fia Baxter nothing should be cleared to him than not continuing with it or getting in too deep. Okay love is blind or just plain stupid! For one he already knows of Jimmy Baxter the crime lord yet still wants to dingle dangle around with the daughter amongst also being the man who killed her brother by accident! This is a recipe for disaster, Michael will be thinking I got you out of one mess then you pile on top another. Seriously how can you protect this kid? What is more is the fact he was already seeing his teacher in a intimate way as shown in the first episode. She is about to quit her job for him as well as being equally attractive if not more attractive than Fia Baxter in my opinion. Also she is intelligent she is a teacher, wake up and smell the coffee Adam! This love triangle allows me and I hope the rest of the audience to have less sympathy for Adam being he is seeing two women at once and this is from a male perspective!
Okay so the trial is slightly ridiculous but the rules have to be bent in order for Judge Michael to attempt getting Carlo Baxter off. In our heads the audience should already be thinking how the hell is he gonna get out of this? Whether it's plausible what Michael is doing or not doesn't faze me as I am here to be entertained! Seriously are you not entertained? Maybe I'm being a hypocrite here as equally what Adam does throughout is not logical or plausible yet somehow I struggle more to let that slide.
