[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

American television legal and political drama television series are 
usually of an excellent quality. They created by teams of talented 
screenplay writers, directors, actors. The latest most modern cameras 
and lightening equipment are used.

Evolution formed human brains in such a way that we are to make a 
decision (or judgement) very fast and trust it completely (for example 
if an ancient human saw a predator he/she did not have much time to 
think about it). This is demonstrated well by the famous Müller-Lyer 
illusion [1].

No matter how many time one tells himself that the lines are of the 
equal length the Müller-Lyer optical illusion persists. There are 
numerous similar optical-cognitive illusions.

The American legal and political system may seem to us perfect, based on 
impressive films and TV series, but in fact it is not. Here is what the 
American people themselves think about it: "Gallup poll, September 2015. 
Majority of Americans See Congress as Out of Touch, Corrupt" [2], "75% 
in U.S. See Widespread Government Corruption" [3], etc.

I am not trying to bash the US legal system at all, I just want to tell 
that it is just one of the many in the world. That it has got its own 
share of issues and problems, the same as others.
