Reviews

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Parker Lewis If Hardcastle and McCormick symbolized the Reagan era with flashy soundtracks and fast cars and so forth, then Dark Justice sort of presaged the end of the Reagan-Bush era, where a judge has to take matters into his own hands big time and no questions asked.For me Dark Justice is a guilty pleasure, and you can sort of imagine there are some judges out there who wish they could execute justice beyond the robes, ensuring confidence in the justice system after all. It was a pleasure seeing Judge Nicholas Marshall and his team of experts get their way in the end.The first series was filmed in Barcelona, with the second and third series moving to LA. Judge Marshall was played by Ramy Zada in season 1, and then Bruce Abbott (husband of Kathleen "The Doors" Quinlan) in seasons 2 and 3. None of this two Darrins like in Bewitched I guess.
starrywisdom Loved this show! I thought Bruce Abbott was perfection in the role: a true Dark Knight, with a sense of humor. The show should have lasted at least twice as long as it did, especially when one considers the boring, imitative, humorless CSI-type clones that infest today's schedule. (Not "NCIS", though: that has a lot of the same sensibility as DJ.) Dick Moon, Clayton Gibbs and Janet Gunn were likewise terrific, and the writing was clever and witty. Some of the plot twists were hilarious, and I never found it boring. Is it still not yet available on DVD? Because I would buy it in a heartbeat...I taped a bunch of them, but DVDs are so much better than homemade.Oh,and by the way, Bruce's hair was pinned up for the courtroom sequences and left in its natural long state otherwise.
blooutcast Nick was clearly a highly successful judge to have made it from cop to District Attorney to Your Honor in such a short time. He was supposed to die in the bombing, but neither he nor the bomber had any way of knowing his wife and daughter would take the wired car before him. That incident by itself did not change his purpose — it was the outcome of the trial that set the tone for his double life. The judge recruited some lower-level offenders (which he was clearly able to sentence more easily) for an unusual form of community service: join his leather-clad vigilante patrol – the Night Watchmen – to bring down those who were able to use legal loopholes to get off scot-free (as did the bomber). He still operated from the bench by day, except that he warned those he knew were guilty: justice is blind, but it sees in the dark. By night, off came the glasses, down came his hair, and the suit was replaced by a leather outfit. And off they went on their motorcycles, to target the antagonist.
clhpetunia I just recently discovered this show and I really like it a lot. The story is different from other shows on TV right now. It has some comedy and drama and a lot of action, and all the actors just seem to go well together. I really like Bruce Abbott in the title role. I didn't know it was on a few years ago, I thought it was a new show. Silly me. I like it anyway and hope it stays on long enough for me to tape several of the episodes. (Unless they are available on VHS!)
