Not sure how I feel about this one. The core premise of this series is the tale of a judge who is, in fact, a reincarnated demon who has to judge (in her own hellishly violent way and condemn to hell) murderous wrongdoers. That said, where's the substance to this series, beyond this very basic premise? I'm not seeing it. I suspect too, the jarring transition from humour to actually pretty nasty violence, is there to compensate for this series lack of true substance. In short, I don't think it really works all that well. This is no black comedy, its a violent revenge fantasy/action series and little more.
Upside's include decent acting but over the top characterisations and a tone that feels off, tend to hamstring, performances.
In summary, a disappointingly shallow script that wants to be a black comedy but looks more like a violent revenge fantasy/action series, instead. In most respects a rather basic watch, with a old school, "eye for an eye" biblical message.

★★★★★★★★★★
**Justice served.**
This is the type of show that you wish is longer because they acted well, the cinematography was awesome, and the editing was excellent. But at the same time, you'll realize that it was perfect because they planned it to be exactly as short as it is, they knew it won't be good if it was longer.
***Satisfying.***
