Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Sasha Chicago Justice is an excellent show, which highlights the way in which American drama series are represented. This is just one more addition to the Chicago franchise. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and feel that it is a shame that it won't be renewed. I do believe there should have been more crossover episodes, but without that overshadowing the series, it was still well acted and a serious portrayal of the US justice system. Dick Wolf is an exceptional creator of excellent television. I urge people to watch this series and make a good decision for themselves as to what they think about it. The first cross over episode was brilliant and flowed perfectly. Many people I have spoken with, did not understand the first Chicago justice episode without watching the series. If you do watch all of them, then you would see they need that element. However one piece of advice I would suggest is that the justice episodes follow on from the PD episodes and center themselves about the court cases following the arrests made in PD. That would be a better way of running the series.

SnoopyStyle Dick Wolf expands his Chicago universe. Mark Jefferies (Carl Weathers) is the State's Attorney. Peter Stone (Philip Winchester) and Anna Valdez (Monica Barbaro) are ASA's. Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) and Laura Nagel (Joelle Carter) are investigators for the office.Wolf ties this in with his other Chicago shows but it's the least compelling of them. This is basically Law & Order redux. There is even a direct connection to the original show. If he's going to do that, he should have brought back one of the old actors to do a cameo. I'm not sure returning to the old standard adds anything compelling. It's the same old formula with even more impossibly-beautiful people and none of them are good rooting interest. I'm surprised that NBC canceled it but sometimes an overgrown plant needs to be trimmed.

Dr_Sagan I really like legal dramas. What I like the most is not the "evidence-based" crimes but when they present actual dilemmas that we encounter in our lives. I mean the thin line between right and wrong. You hear the arguments of one side and you think they are right, you hear the arguments from the other side and you totally change your opinion.Chicago justice tries to be such a legal drama, but unfortunately fails miserably. I just watched the 3rd episode that (supposedly) had some things to say about racism and cultural differences, and heroism, and taking action... Yet, it ends up to be a complete mess, blurring every message with ridiculous arguments and plot twists. The same feeling I had for the 2 previous episodes which by the way I have totally forgot what they were about.The main actor is totally unsympathetic. His character seems also like a confused person. He acts like he knows what he is doing and saying but the situations prove him wrong every time. It's not a character that has "flaws". He is just a character poorly written.Same goes for the rest of the cast which includes Rocky's Carl Weathers.The script is bad. The music builds tension in places that don't justify such treatment. The plot of every episode is shallow and the resolution of each trial seems forced and pretentious with spontaneous and unjustified outbreaks from the defendants.Another newcomer "The good fight" (a spin-off of The good wife) is surprisingly better in that department. Despite the fact that focuses in other areas and aspects of the legal world and its people, ends up to be a more solid legal drama in terms of the cases and the arguments and the "dilemmas" I previously mentioned.Overall: Not a good legal drama. It focuses on the cases more than the lives of their characters (which is good) but it doesn't deliver. If you want a legal series with good arguments that makes you think, you have to look elsewhere.

MAM-21 Without even seeing the pilot, I must say that the tag-line: "Always Fight, Never Settle." sends a terrible message -- one that epitomizes a lot of what is wrong with our country. In the beginning, Americans were promised a government "... of the people, by the people and for the people." Yet what we now have in Congress is anything but... Congress is more than 70% lawyers, while lawyers represent less than 2% of the general population. When it was balanced -- and more representative of the electorate, being composed of doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, farmers, mechanics, etc. -- we had a representative government. But the worst part of having so many lawyers in Congress comes down to a fundamental issue that is (unfortunately) very accurately captures by your tag-line. The fact is, lawyers are not taught to settle; they are taught to win. That reality is, IMO, the #1 reason why we have political gridlock. In other words, if every negotiation starts with both sides prepared to stand their ground, you don't get compromise -- you get ruthless standoffs! Sound familiar yet? PLEASE... change this tag-line. It sends not just the wrong message -- it sends a terrible message to young people who think the object is to win at any and all costs!
