Bryan Cranston’s crime drama ‘Your Honor’ might not have been a critical darling, but it’s getting yet another remake—its fourth already this year. According to Deadline, Yes Studios is making moves to bring the courtroom chaos to viewers in Greece, having already signed deals for Ukraine, Hong Kong, and Poland.
Crime dramas are like the Kardashians of TV genres: always in style. While old faithfuls like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit dominate, newcomers such as Mobland, Tulsa King, and On Call are keeping things spicy. Cranston, forever etched in our minds as Walter White from Breaking Bad, just can’t get his other projects the same attention.
His recent flick, Everything’s Going to Be Great, got great reviews, but Your Honor earned a paltry 49% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yet the story has some legs, leading Yes Studios’ Sharon Levi to call it “one of the best and most in-demand universal stories.”
The original inspiration
It’s worth noting, Cranston’s show wasn’t the original spark. Your Honor started as an Israeli series called Kvodo. Yes Studios holds the keys to that kingdom, pumping out adaptations worldwide like nobody’s business.
Why all the fuss?
Next up, international viewers in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Turkey, Russia, and India won’t escape Your Honor’s relentless grip. Yes, despite its less-than-stellar reviews:
- A 49% Tomatometer score
- A 67% Popcornmeter score from fans
The show’s concept is ripe for another go. A judge torn between justice and family might just get the second chance it deserves.
Sometimes low ratings can’t keep a good story down. Perhaps the redemptive arc will find its audience somewhere across the globe.
