The anti-hero returns

Bryan Cranston is back in ‘Your Honor’

By Kyla Brewer TV Media

Few parents like to see their children in trouble, but sometimes life lessons are best learned when young people face the music. However, there may be consequences that are just too dire for even the most scrupulous parents. A new miniseries explores the fine line between protection and corruption as a man scrambles to save his son at choices, the respected judge abuses his power and uses his influence to cover up the crime in the hopes of saving his son — and himself. The new thriller sparks a number of ethical questions, including: “How corrupted can a man become before he lets his child go?”

Writer and executive producer Peter Moffat (“Criminal Justice”) asked that very question in an official release for the 10-part miniseries, and it appears that viewers though Cranston has appeared in episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Electric Dreams,” the actor hasn’t had a regular TV role since “Breaking Bad” wrapped up in 2013. In October, Cranston talked to EW about the role that brought him back to TV.

“Whenever there’s a character who is facing an emotional, ethical dilemma, it draws me in,” Cranston said to EW.

In “Your Honor,” Cranston world” and Netflix’s “What/If.” Interestingly, he recently appeared in the Apple TV+ drama “Truth Be Told” as the teenage version of Aaron Paul’s character. For those not in the know, Paul co-starred with Cranston in “Breaking Bad” as his partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman.

Sofia Black-D’Elia portrays Adam’s secret girlfriend, Frannie, in the new miniseries. Since honing her skills on the set of “All My Children” as a teenager, the actress has made a name for herself with roles such as Tea Marvelli in “Skins,” Sage Spence in “Gossip Girl” and Sabrina Pemberton in

Veteran performer Isiah Whitlock Jr. plays opposite Cranston as Michael Desiato’s best friend, Charlie, who gets drawn into the judge’s coverup. Best known for his role as corrupt state senator Clay Davis in “The Wire,” Whitlock Jr. has also appeared in several Spike Lee films, including “She Hate Me” (2004) and “BlacKkKlansman” (2018).

In “Your Honor,” Michael Stuhlbarg portrays Jimmy Baxter, the crime boss who vows revenge after his son is killed in the hit-andrun. Television fans may recognize Stuhlbarg as another famous TV mob boss — Arnold Rothstein from “Boardwalk Empire.” The actor’s other credits include films “A Serious Man” (2009), “Doctor Strange” (2016) and “The Shape of Water” (2017).
