To be honest, True Justice tv-series is a very unusual project in Seagal's carrer and I am not convinced that it is/was the right decision. I mean, after watching four movies/ eight episodes of the first season, the whole project does not seem to be such a great hit as you think. If I was to rate the series, I would give it a solid 65 %, but not more. The production was not bad, the whole team neither. However, there are some really important facts that should not be ignored - the fights - the most essential element of Steven Seagal; the plot and the worldwide success of True Justice Season 1. I am not quite sure that you are aware of all these things. I think that these were not perfect. ....
...Wouldn't it be better to try to make a decent film or just take a minor role in an A-Hollywood production?
