I remember at the beginning, when I watched the first four episodes of this series, I got the impression that good people use bad means to do good things, but bad people also have a good side. But the words good people and bad people are always a naive idea. The world is always more realistic and crueler than you think. By the time I watched all 13 episodes of the first season, I realized that what the writers had to say was not what I felt before. The synopsis for the show on tv.com has this sentence: "The series, which provides a view into the true nature of power and success...". This should be a more accurate description of the show. This is a civil litigation case, but it is just a game for lawyers on both sides, winning the game is the ultimate goal, and maintaining justice seems to be just a pretense. For this purpose, all kinds of means can be used, but the one used is more crude, and the other is more civilized but more insidious.
I have been thinking before, whether the law can maintain justice? I remember that angry young Luo said a sentence: everything designed by people can be deciphered. It can be cracked whether it is true or not, but it seems that what lawyers do is to help their clients crack the rules and regulations of the law, find as many loopholes as possible that are beneficial to them, and then obtain the results that are most beneficial to them. I basically don't know anything about the law, but I feel that the increasingly complex and detailed laws nowadays are not so much a means of upholding justice as a wrestling arena, compared to intelligence and financial resources. As Ellen said in the film: I don't believe in law anymore, but I believe in justice. This justice may still exist, but whether the law can uphold justice as expected is hard to say, hehe
