All Rise

Wow. I used to love this show and the Lola character I thought was fabulous. Smart, beautiful, ethical, and honorable so i thought. They bring in this overall muscular actor to play her ex-boyfriend and suddenly, she is supposed to be the opposite of all those things. Hollywood is a joke! So noone on TV can be all those things and still be entertaining, I guess. Just when i thought i was watching something more than a soap opera where everyone sleeps together and remains friends, they do this to the one character I admired. I only liked a few shows on television, the FBIs, Bluebloods and All Rise but i guess they are going to trash it because i guess they don't have enough creative imagination to incorporate excitement without tainting it like they are starting to do with All Rise. Lazy writing again so you can go ahead and cancel it again, I'm done!!

I think I'm going to like this. The writing is sharp. The characters are approachable. Simone Missick has a serenity that balances the rapid fire dialogue. It's going to have to self correct on edging toward being sappy but, otherwise, I think this has potential. I give this pilot a 7 (good) out of 10. {Legal Drama}

Not sure why everyone hates this show. I think it makes for great television drama. Maybe it's not the most factually accurate but I don't care. I just want to sit down after work and relax and this show serves that purpose.

We watch the first two seasons and enjoyed them so we were looking forward to season three. The first couple of episodes I chalked it up to them just needing to get their sea legs back but I it seems that the issue is more fundamental than that.. There is flaw in the show that wasn't there before. The characters are so wildly over acting their parts that, in some cases, the characters are not the same. It is like the actors were told to kick it up a few notches. I'm sorry but that does not work for me. You don't have to beat me over the head.

Many of the other reviewers here seem to have no understanding of race and class issues in the USA, and so have a hard time understanding the point of the show. Realism isn't the point, social commentary is. My opinion is that most people don't want to think when they watch TV - especially when presented with something new to them. Read the below reviews with that in mind and see what you think.
