Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
villainouskind The show has potential, especially if you're into this kind of fare and if the Grey's Anatomy faculty aged out of your interest, but they pay too much attention to the wrong characters and storylines. Britt Robertson's character sucks. She is whiny, bland and forced. I'd like to see Littlejohn's character and storylines take a more prominent role. She is far more interesting and has a better dynamic and chemistry with other characters than Robertson's crybaby. Also, why is the diversity hire never working? Her storylines have more to do with her love life than her job. Why not have the whiny girl date and let the competent, not crying in every other scene, diversity hire actually practicing law? I'll give it another season if the network does, but if it doesn't make some changes for the better I'll go back to Grey's Anatomy. Doctor's are cooler anyway.Also, Hope Davis is awesome, as usual.
bsloughrin Such potential! What a great idea! Such poor execution. Overly sentimental, poor legal arguments, no opposing opinion. Such hope, so much disappointment. They should try to promote and exalt the legal profession, not belittle and denigrate.
Some Dude The first thing you must notice about this show is that the actors are young. Not just young -- ridiculously young. As in not even old enough to be practicing lawyers in real life. On top of that, they're also not very good actors. All that can be put aside if the stories are good. They aren't. They have an agenda and they take every moment they can to club you over the head with that agenda. It's simply too much to bear.I see that ABC has only ordered 10 episodes. Poor choice on their part as 6 would have saved them money. I suspect they won't even air the 10 episodes that they've got in the can.
Daisy I'm a fan of Shonda Rhimes' work, and the character development and layers she typically gives to her characters. Because when she does this I find myself caring about the characters and their actions.We are 4 episodes deep into this series and all of the characters are so empty and bland that it becomes so difficult to get attached to any of them. The only character I find myself wanting to watch is Mary McCormack's guest appearance. What I have seen so far is sexual harassment in the workplace unnecessary to any storyline and egotistical young attorneys who don't seem to have any experience or skill to backup their otherwise impressive jobs. I continue to watch in hopes it will find its groove and get better, but with how unlikeable the attorneys are, I'm not sure how long that will last.
