  • The opening cross-examination is gripping but immediately exposes the protagonist’s cruelty toward a child he knows is telling the truth.
  • The rooftop meeting is praised as harrowing and visually convincing.
  • The hair suggestion, Mary Ann’s shopping trip and demonic vision, and Milton speaking Spanish on the subway are nominated.
  • The subway threat escalates through increasingly specific humiliations, including the victim’s favorite green bedspread; the travel logistics are jokingly questioned.
  • Kevin’s concise opening statement undermines his own client while winning the jury’s goodwill.
  • Eddie Barzoon’s death and Milton’s monologue are praised; jogging is mocked, and the horsemen color symbolism and societal indictment are discussed.
  • The scene where Charlize kills herself is called intense and great but explicitly not rewatchable.
  • The final confrontation and speech are praised; the empty street suggests supernatural limbo, and Milton’s gestures and emphases are singled out. Kevin’s ignorance is defended as necessary to the contrast.
  • Final preferences include the look-but-don’t-touch speech, the subway and the rooftop meeting.
  • The Moyez basement scene is belatedly praised despite the Haitian accent; a longer television version could spend episodes on the case.
