Your Honor on Sky Atlantic: What’s it about?

Bryan Cranston plays a respected judge in the new drama.

He’s thrown into a moral dilemma when his son is involved in a hit and run incident.

Judge Michael Desiato tries to protect his son, believing he can keep him safe if he tells no one.

However, it soon becomes clear that the accident victim is a member of a crime family that plans to dish out its own brand of justice.

Widower Michael wants to protect his son but is torn between doing the honourable thing.

He is led into a high-stakes game of lies, deceit and impossible choices.

It’s a 10-part series by Peter Moffat described as a “morally complex legal thriller that rips through all levels of New Orleans society”.
