Divorce Court

1986 · 1 season

A campy, low-stakes courtroom melodrama where actors air petty grievances for a judge's verdict, easy to watch and mildly amusing.

Overview
An early successor to "The People's Court" (1981) and precursor to later 'reality-based' shock-TV shows. Actors portraying litigants in divorce proceedings presented their stories to a judge who gave his judgment based on the merits of the case. Accusations of infidelity, dishonesty, incompetence, and insanity were frequent.
How it feels
Campy, satirical, tense and light. Brisk and fine in the background.
About
Betrayal, deception, love, justice
Content
Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
