Not really a law show

It's lke watching Grey's Anatomy but with lawyers. Fresh graduates, big speeches, boyfriend issues, fighting, predictable characters, bff girls supposedly funny chatting about what is impotant in life, etc. There is just too much drama and not enough real story. Big theatrical speeches about clichés of nothing. I don't feel like I'm watching a law themed show, more like I am watching the private lives of people who just happen to be lawyers.

Don't bother

Here we have yet another legal procedural which cares little for how the law actually works. We see trials that happen within days of indictments, lawyers who only work 40 hours a week (we don't), and people who are incompetent be given high profile government legal jobs (they aren't). We have our standard cast of young beautiful people who really "believe" in the justice system. We even have the obligatory OCDish woman who knows way more than all the men (even her boss), prosecutors who seems troubled by sending people to jail, and to top it off a sassy black clerk of the court. Seriously people do not waste your time.

Want to like it

I truly want to like this show, but the pilot doesn't give me confidence. it's 100% predictable.Perhaps this will change but I'm not optimistic.I'm not familiar with the cast, but I think they do well and work well together so there is hope.

Terrible Law Show

I lost interest right in the middle of the first episode, watched the second episode and it was even worse! The characters and story is all over the place, bad acting and poor story lines! This show should be canceled!

Sad & predictable

The script is so contrived, it´s an insult to intelligence. The acting is too forced and the characters are not believable. A very trite series, if the writers continue with the same melodramatic diatribe, then this series´ future will be short.

Started off good, then came all the Social Justice issues. No longer interested.

so much to like and so much to dislike

Wasted, potential, season2 wraps itself around political issues and sets the stage for one sided view , agenda driven, one sided, liberalism.

sappy, bad acting

The Black guy is smokin' hot. (woof woof) None of the women are good actors, and most of them are downright annoying as all fkk. The women in the defenders office are dreadful (but so are the men). The people in the prosecutor's office are better actors and better characters. They're not too bad. The stories are social justice pap.

It's a giant waste of time.

Another Shonda fail

This show could have been good, it had the potential for it but wasted it on showing of the love lives of the characters instead of diving into the law.

From a law point of view things happened entirely too quickly and with just 0 realism to show how things flow in a real world.
