A demon is sent to earth in the body of a judge as punishment after accidentally punishing an innocent person.  Her task is to avenge the death of 10 victims by killing their murderer and sending them to hell before one year has passed.  Using her courtroom as a hunting ground, she is able to identify unrepentant killers.  And by giving them light sentences, she can later find and kill them.  

But her questionable verdicts become the target of public outrage. And when she meets a handsome, young detective who has made it his mission to arrest these villains and get justice for the victims and their families, he threatens to uncover her true identity and see her punished for her role in the recent deaths of some of the criminals who have come through her court.

While I enjoyed the thrilling tone of this drama, the violence can be gruesome and a bit gratitous.  There are times the plot is a bit all over the place and there are some obvious plot holes.  This is the kind of series that is meant to be enjoyed in the moment , but not analyzed too carefully.  But the parts that are good, are well-done, and it was a fun distraction that held my interest all the way through.  I give ‘The Judge From Hell’ an 8 out of 10.
