Boy, Law and Order this isn't.
I'm sorry to disagree with the other commentator - and even more sorry to say I thought a show with Lea Thompson is -- awful. I've always liked Lea Thompson.
However, this program is terrible. Long sanctimonious speech follows long sanctimonious speech, the plot is obvious, the humor is painfully stupid, the acting is cartoon-ish. The acting consists of supposedly meaningful solemn looks cast by the actors throughout the "serious" plot - and inane grins during the "humorous" subplot.
The issues touched on are merely - touched on. The issues also seem carefully taped together from the long-shredded headlines of earlier decades. The courtroom scenes are ludicrous - long speeches are made by witnesses, completely unrelated to any pending question. Juries are seen but there is really no suspense at all.
This show is a mess. Following the program, two of the actors urge women to become lawyers. Why? Most I know are seeking to leave the profession - do they urge viewers to join the CIA at the end of The Agency? This program is unfortunately at a junior high school level - there's a lack of substance in the writing from first to last moment.
Don't see it.
