All Rise (Season 1, Ep. 6 Review): Justice, Friendship, and Heart

This should be the very first time I'm reviewing a series even before I finish the series, you really need to see how I'm falling in love with the series..... I literally steal out time from work to see few seconds, lol and that's why I had to put up this review early enough so we all can enjoy it together.

Funny enough, it's not as if this series is an ongoing series neither is it a series of 2024 or 2025, it was a 2019-2023 series, but in football we say one thing about outstanding players.... Class is permanent!
And that's the case with All Rise.

All Rise is a legal series that literally makes you rise up and clap for the producers.

I've only seen six (6) episodes but it's been superb. It's a series that dives into not just what goes on in the courtroom but also about the people behind the bench, those who work tirelessly within the justice system, and the messy, complicated, but deeply human stories they carry with them.

So far, it's been Judge Lola Carmichael running the show especially with her charisma and dedication.. reminds me so much of Jessica Pearson in Suits. The movie was fast-paced with giving her the judge's rope immediately it started and the good thing I'm picking from her is that she's not just there to continue the tradition, she's looking so much like she's there to leave legacies and chases after justice in the most crude and unfathomable way she can.
I love it but I'm scared for her, I don't know what the future episodes have for her but I'm not seeing it getting easy for her especially with her bold moves of pushing boundaries, I feel like she's going to be stepping on toes of older judges and tougher prosecutors but well, I'm sat to see the series to the end... Let's go get the popcorn and wait till the very end.

Her friendship with Mark Callan, a district Attorney is an amazing one, never have I seen such a platonic relationship, they are there for each other, they share ideas , they tease each other and they are maintaining the relationship in the most matured and respectable way ever.

Will their relationship be tested in time especially when they share different views? And especially when Callan have to be the Prosecutor for a case Judge Lola will be presiding? Will they be able to handle their relationship and won't the counsellor prick that angle to seek for a retrial? Well... Let's see what happens soon..

I can't end without commenting on Emily Lopez, a dedicated public defender who will stop at nothing despite having little resources to make sure she brings justice to the foot door of her clients. I'm scared of one thing on her behalf and that's the fact that she invests so much emotion in her clients.... I feel she will be broken when she loses a case dear to her and she already told Luke Watkins that "you never recover when a non- guilty client is convicted especially because of lack of evidence to prove his innocence" when she was asked how she copes.

Finally, here is Luke Watkins, a court baliff who has picked interest in standing on the upper chamber, even though he's yet to decide the type of lawyer he wants to be, he is very keen on passing his bar exams and going further but in the meantime, he's just doing excellently in his court baliff job . Will he stay stuck in the shadow of the courtroom, or will he fight his way to a more central role as a lawyer?

And what will happen with the tiny blooming relationship between him and Emily Lopez? Will it be a success... I'm seriously rooting for him 😃.

Just in the first 6 episodes, All Rise has made me fall in love deeply with the series and I keep wondering how I never discovered nor heard about it when it's almost on the same par with Suits series. The cases they tackle in the series so far isn't just cooked up stories, they are cases that are endemic with us and it makes you wonder how many of these cases in reality gets the justice they deserve because the extent they chase justice in the series is too notch and I wonder if the judges and counsellors will be able to pull up that to ensure justice.

Going forward, I expect it to get tougher for everyone and their tests to come in various ways but I'm still rooting for them they are able to handle it wonderfully well and come out unscathed.

Once again, this show reminds us that the justice system isn’t just about laws; it’s about people, lives, and the ripple effects of every decision made inside that courtroom.

You might really want to jump in and have fun together because If the first 6 episodes are this good, then I’m glad I started this journey late—because now I get to binge the rest without waiting for when they will release an episode, hehe.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day ahead
