However, when Michael arrives at the party, he isn’t allowed inside the hotel premises. Jimmy’s daughter has invited Adam too and Michael runs to the premise, thinking Jimmy called Adam to kill him. In the last scene, Kofi Jones’ brother comes to Jimmy Baxter’s party to take his revenge on Carlo Baxter (who killed Kofi Jones). Even some shots and actions are kinda half-cooked. Episode 10 seemed like a mismatch or just a rush to the conclusion. But, if you were expecting any brilliance then the expectations will be ruined, thoroughly. The last and final episode of Your Honor was directed by Bryan Cranston himself. Just a basic Robert De Niro quote, “ talent is always in the choices.” In Breaking Bad, the conflict and character choices relationship was the same but Walter white made hell-lot-of outstanding choices and that is why we remember it. Your Honor puts forward lots of intriguing conflict on the way of Michael, be it moral or ethical but the choices of the character aren’t unique enough or in a simple way, they are merely convenient.
It is often said that conflict creates drama and the choices of a character in those conflicts reveal his nature. The writers fail to maintain the thrill after the third episode and on the 10th episode, you are just boringly waiting for the conclusion, rather than expecting and speculating what will happen next.

But the Series loses its grip as it moves further and further. The first few episodes keep the drama intact and hold your attention, especially the first episode. Adam’s only fault was that he got anxious and ran away leaving the dying teenager on the road. Adam didn’t kill Jimmy’s son out of his own negligence but he got an asthma attack while driving, which led to the accident, ramming his car to a speeding bike which Jimmy’s son was riding.
Michael wasn’t afraid of the legal charges Adam would have to face, but what Jimmy is going to do with his son. He even explains his illicit actions by saying, “ Do you think either of those takes precedence over the life of your own child.” Michael does everything in his power as a judge to safeguard his son. The only guiding light out of this dark tunnel was to follow the unlawful path.
In the end, the narrative finds itself squeezed from all sides with little or no way out. In prison, Jimmy’s eldest son, Carlo Baxter mercilessly kills Kofi Jones contributing more complexity to the web of crimes. The punk, Kofi Jones who stole the car is pulled off by the police and then later on by Jimmy Baxter. However, a wrong move after another leads to a web of crimes that even Michael fails to erase. He even plots the theft of Adam’s car, associated with the accident. Michael smelled danger and he jumped on plan B, which was to hide all the evidence that leads the police or the mob boss to Adam.
Jimmy Baxter is the crime lord of the organized crime family of New Orleans who will do anything to kill the person who took away his son. Initially, Michael urges his son to turn himself into the police but as soon as he learns that the deceased teenager was the youngest son of Jimmy Baxter ( Michael Stuhlbarg), Michael takes Adam away from the police station. He tries with all his might to save his teenage son, Adam Desiato ( Hunter Doohan) who accidentally kills another teenager in a hit-and-run.
