Although it has all the prerequisites for being a good, witty, human interest retro comedy show, something is amiss. Could not bond with the characters, maybe they are somehow sketchy... Also, they change the court clerk, and she was one of the ones who drew the eye in the beginning, so bad move there. Each episode brings in a couple of new cases and fleeting characters, yet another thing to handle, attention wise. It just does not manage to be consistent. I felt annoyed at the paradox of not managing to follow what by all means seems enjoyable. From the outside. Once inside the first series, or even second... It was "meh", like taking part in some school class.
