This review is based on the YouTube Judge Rinder. I know it isn't the exact same as watching the full episodes on TV (I don't think this show is available in my country on TV but clips are on YouTube). Granted when I saw this show in YouTube I used to like him until I saw how rude he was. I'm all for stern, but not for jerky rudeness. I don't care if you're a judge, the president, an astronaut, etc, I wouldn't like you. He, as a law-abiding, law-enforcing "judge" should teach people how to respect people instead of disrespect right back. Two disrespects doesn't make a right. Especially if the latter disrespect comes from a "judge" who is supposed to be the one with the cool head. I don't like Judge Judy because of this either, but it's more tolerable because she doesn't disrespect the ones who weren't disrespectful to anyone in the court like Judge Rider does (of what I saw from both)
