This time round, Adam Klos is not judging family disputes, as he did in the first series; instead, he is a criminal judge and is dealing with the most serious crimes and challenging criminal cases. Most of the cases in the second series have been inspired by actual crimes. There is even a fundamental change in Adam’s personal life: he is looking after Laura’s daughter and is living with his mother, who had been living alone after her husband, Adam’s father, died. Adam’s neighbours are also creating an important storyline. Very strange things are happening in the villa next door that are stoking his imagination, and when he begins to put two and two together, he begins to discuss his thoughts with his friend Igor … In each episode, viewers first learn what happened in the given case. They thus have the chance to observe how the matter is relativized and obfuscated by everyone during the trial. On one side, there is the public prosecutor analysing with the police the evidence, the proposed sentence and the weaknesses in the defence; on the other, there are the lawyers with the defendants recapitulating their own strategy and looking for holes in the indictment. This all culminates at the court, headed by Adam Klos, where the battle begins and where victory or defeat can mean loss of freedom and a life in ruins.
