Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

iainmcallister1981-921-83398 It's ok, reasonably entertaining and if you have time to kill worth a watch. It might not appeal to everyone, but considering how much rubbish is on the television, this falls on the right side of ok.

phizzics3141 Young, good looking people who give speeches about injustice. A lot. Do we have diversity? Yes, we do. Do we have two women in bed together? Yes, we do. Do we have androgynous characters on the witness stand? Yes, we do. Do we have evil white supremacists? Yes, we do. Do we look at the plight of "undocumented" immigrants? Yes, we do. Trite and tiresome. Dick Wolf created the formula for social engineering via legal procedurals, and it's a worn out concept that's increasingly boring and transparent. Please stop.

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.

Talia_the_StoryMaker I gave the pilot a try, not against watching more but not really eager to do so either. Overall it seems like a decent courtroom drama show that has a fair amount of interesting ideas, definitely watchable and fairly enjoyable. But on the other hand, the portrayal of the characters strikes me as just a little bit cheesy and cartoonish rather than nuanced or deeply interesting. Not horrible or anything, but not ideal either, especially since to me, characterization is probably the most important part of a show. Also, I personally thought it was very stupid that a boyfriend and girlfriend were attorneys for opposite sides of a case and honestly thought even for a minute that it might work out just fine. That was probably the hardest thing for me to accept and the most off-putting thing about the pilot. I'm not saying it can't happen, but who would really think that would work? At any rate, it wasn't bad. It just failed to strike me as being anything great either, but that doesn't mean it's not decent. If you feel like watching it, you might as well give it a try.
