Reviews

Tower of Justice has been generally well-received by critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a respectable rating of around 7.8/10, praised for its strong performances, particularly by Hiroshi Tamaki, and its tightly written script. Reviewers from AsianWiki highlighted the show's ability to maintain suspense while delivering complex character development, calling it 'a nuanced portrayal of the tensions within Japan's legal establishment.' However, some critics noted that the pacing can occasionally slow, and that the dense legal jargon might feel overwhelming to viewers unfamiliar with the system. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregate score for the series, reflecting its more regional distribution. Metacritic user reviews reflect mixed opinions; some applaud the show's realistic and mature tone, while others wished for more dynamic plot twists. Overall, Tower of Justice is praised for its strong performances and thought-provoking narrative, though it may appeal more to viewers interested in serious, character-driven legal dramas than those seeking fast-paced action.
