Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

seeinblackandwhite-15-497064 Exactly as the title states, I want to like this show, I really do. I feel as though the premise has potential and the show itself showed a little potential at first. However, I find that that it has a nearly unwatchable quality about it, while the lead actress is decent, and the supporting cast is as well, they seem to need more direction, and they are working with some extremely over clichéd writing from time to time.Unfortunately, every element of the show seems to suffer from being too much. The plot of each episode tries to cram too much in to one story line which makes every one seem convoluted and adds to the cliché. Each character seems to have defining traits, but the defining traits are overpowering to human traits. The lead character is too good at everything and while I like that she has spunk, there is point where spunk becomes annoying and she crosses over occasionally. The side characters, though most seem to be adequately acted, are either very bland or overbearing and none of them seem terribly original.I wish I could say better things about this show because I like Sarah Shahi and I honestly think she is much better than what this show ended up being.

Edward Paisley 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......

Clem MSL I liked Fairly Legal at the beginning, but after a few episodes, Sarah's character started to annoy me. She is bossy, slightly rude, thinks she's seen it all, knows it all and has an answer to everything, and patronising at times also. "I can solve everything and listen to me, shut up, do this, don't do that, etc" and her own life is a mess with conflicts with everyone in her life... Also, I find some plots uninteresting and the humour at times really falls flat. The idea of the show is quite good, and it started well but went downhill I think, mainly because her character is not likable enough and plots are not very well thought or covered. Shame.

perkypops This series has lots of energy mostly via its lead Kate (Sarah Shahi) and Leonardo (Baron Vaughn) as a "fairly legal" mediation team. The concept and the character backgrounds is made interesting in the first episode with plenty of room for development.I do like the "affectionate" exchanges between Kate and her former legal "professionals" personified in Kate's brazen disregard for protocol. Kate's character is immediately given speed and license to turn human disputes around whichever which way she can. If the rest of the series lives up to episode one then it'll have my attention.My one reservation is the apparent lack of chemistry between Kate and co-star Justin (Michael Trucco) which is apparent through the kind of characters they play as well as an on screen indifference.Still promising though.
