Life reaches a point where thrills become less appealing, and the idea of a calm, unchallenging escape after a long day can be irresistible. Netflix binges frequently offer a sensory overload - beautiful actors, captivating tunes, intense action or emotional turmoil. But sometimes, you just want an easy, unremarkable watch to unwind, much like a comforting, well-prepared meal over something that'll upset your stomach.
You want to steer clear of productions with wooden acting and cringe-worthy dialogue, so let's leave German offerings for another occasion. Instead, how about an Aussie series that feels like a warm welcome from Mom Average, wherever you might be? You'll appreciate the actors' friendly faces, and the theme tune could pass for a thrilling soundtrack, although it's merely toned down, thank goodness!
The plot revolves around a jury member, whom we'll nickname Kelly for simplicity, investigating a case after a trial verdict leaves her with doubts. Joining her in this endeavor is an eclectic group - a plump butcher, a snobbish socialite, and a mourning macho man. The concept is promising, perhaps even lifted from elsewhere, yet soothingly adapted in a way that'll let you rest easy on your couch after work.
With a plot recklessly unambitious, "After the Trial" feels liberating, offering the assurance that no critical thinking will be needed, and you won't have to write a brilliant analysis at the end of it all - isn't that the future of relaxation? Crack open a cold beer and enjoy the show.
