The pilot for The Good Lawyer. Every show has to have a gimmick & this show's is the lawyer has OCD. As a court-room drama, it fails on every level. It was not compelling nor suspenseful in any way.
The main character's OCD is played off in an annoying way. As dialogue continues, it is muffled & we get to stare at her face as she stares like a deer in the headlights. Something has to happen 3 times for her to move again, otherwise she's as stiff as a statue.
No one thinks anything is wrong as she stands there, staring at a chair. If her fellow lawyer didn't know she had OCD & snap her out of it, she'd still be there.
I'm sure it's supposed to show how annoying OCD is. But who wants to be annoyed watching a show? Not me.
