Couldn't Take Lithgow Seriously

I like this a lot, I think it's fantastic. And I like John Lithgow, but after seeing him in "3rd Rock" for so many seasons, I couldn't take him seriously in this, especially when he yelled. Seemed funny to me.

Unfortunately, I did take him seriously; a despicable, corrupt and biased judge tilting the scales of justice in favor of the rich and powerful. Hasn't there been a lot of noise based on this problem just recently?
