#testing today was a great day. While the performances were good, the drama and thrill factor really disappointed. The courtroom scenes were so bland that you didn’t feel anything for the victim, the criminal or the lawyers. Perhaps the expectations were too high with Suparn and Kajol coming together.

test of @itsKajolD Literally a cheap copy of The Good Wife.

The only difference is that in The Good Wife, the “lead” of Julianna Margulies has acted really well, while Kajol is merely saying lines.

Can’t we come up with original ideas 🤦‍♂️

First episode is ok, first 5 or 10 minutes sets the tone for the show, after that it is just another legal drama and court scenes, characters are ok too, feels like 1 watch now #testing #disneyplus
