Reception

The Evil Lawyer received generally positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 100% approval rating based on five critic reviews.

Lucinda Everett of The Guardian gave the series 3 out of 5 stars, praising its intricate plot, layered characters, and exploration of power, corruption, and systemic injustice, while noting that its tone could be erratic and occasionally over-the-top.

Joel Keller of Decider recommended the series, describing it as "a bit overdramatic" but praising its intriguing premise and the dynamic between the two lead lawyers.

Writing for Khaosod English, the reviewer commended the series for its morally complex portrayal of Thailand's justice system, its visual style, and its incorporation of fictional cases inspired by real-life events, although the review criticized the fast pacing and unresolved ending.
