Personally I didn't think they revered Dhurke, per se, though it's been a long time since I read the case so maybe on a 2nd watch it'd be a bit more obvious. At the very least, the fact that Dhurke was a revolutionary wasn't ever really put on a pedestal more than his capabilities as a lawyer that Apollo responds to by the end of the case. And yeah I guess it pisses me off that Inga is pretty brushed aside to focus on Dhurke being the father.
I think they leave it pretty open for the viewers to decide what they should think about Dhurke as a whole. It's not like they ever portrayed that his revolution was effective, which is definitely wasn't. And Phoenix was actually very impartial throughout that entire case. He was merely a facilitator if anything and the case was very clearly Apollo's case more than anything else. Considering we're always led to put ourselves in Phoenix's position, Phoenix not having much of an emotional investment in the case meant we shouldn't put ourselves in a position to feel biased towards Dhurke's interwoven connection between Apollo and Nayuta either. That's how I felt about it anyways
Totally agreed on Nahyuta being a dick though. I mean the guy fucking almost got Phoenix and Maya killed how many times? ---
