A fun colourful legal drama.
This show had all the makings of a great show but unfortunately it never gained enough of an audience. The characters are interesting enough but nothing revolutionary. They are comical though and the cast do a really good job at portraying their respective roles. Kate Reed is particularly entertaining.
I personally found season one to be better than season two. Season two seems a little less "sparkly" but it still feels engaging.
The show may not have aired for many seasons but it's a solid comedy drama with plenty of heart and interesting legal story lines. Give it a go and you won't regret it.

Out of Court Settlements
Fairly Legal is a new show with a lot of potential for a few season run. This show focuses upon court ordered mediation and in particular the young woman who is assigned by the court to settle disputes between parties before they get to the formality of trial.
Sarah Shahi plays a perky and quirky former attorney who steps down a bit in the legal food chain to take on the job. She has the notion that things be kept on an informal basis, it makes life and the consequences for the parties involved a whole lot easier.
The show has a nice Ally McBeal feel to it. Showing up in a few episodes is Gerald McRaney as a judge. I liked his character and hope to see more of him.
I'd give this show a look.

Refreshingly Different!
At last a show that's story doesn't revolve around stereo typecasting, fashion and predictable plots!
With a hint of "House" and a touch of "Life", Kate Reed has the strength of character, witticism and sexiness most women crave. Realistic, humanly flawed characters and relationships build a web of interaction for those looking for something different. The role of the mediator almost softens the blood thirsty image of the legal profession.
Fairly Legal has introduced a new style of heroin that should be applauded with a return series despite criticism for her welcomed "out of the box" approach.

One of the few shows I look forward to with a Smile.
Never wrote a review for anything and I've always appreciated all you people who take the time to do so.
This cast is energetic and work well together. The writing is smart and... (okay I'll be fair), the plots are sweet and often soupy. I don't even mind because it's just fun to watch. I get sick of crime shows, dead bodies and autopsy rooms (I am not in charge of the remote). This is one of the few shows that I peek my head over my laptop to watch. Yes even my hardened husband likes this show; although, I don't think its for the same reasons I do. Can't say I blame him, Kate's a knockout along with her stepmother. If you need a break from the world but still want some substance and lots of talent stay tune.

Refresh Justice
Finally a show that is new, fresh and more unpredictable than anything on TV. Our legal system is not about truth or even justice it is all about the law and which lawyers best spin it to their advantage. This show produces fair and just settlements that benefit all and at the least cost, not the pompous arrogant people TV portrays lawyers to be. (I know one show says that attorneys MAKE the laws.) I know there are times it gets to be a little sappy but I am tired of shows with all the blood, guts and bodies. It even gives sappiness a fresh spin. The characters have real personality, but that is USA network's motto. To top this all off Sarah Shahi is super-hot. I hope this show runs for many seasons and not just 10 episodes so far......
