I wanted to like this show a lot more than I actually did. I started watching it because of all the great reviews and huge public interest. But it just kind of falls flat and goes from good to better than nothing. I didn't read the books and I don't even remember the original movie. I am familiar with David E Kelly and this is not his best. He's made other shows recently that are not his best either. The premise is interesting, the acting isn't horrible, but don't we watch a series expecting more than that? My philosophy here, as with other programs, has less to do with the individual actors as much as the directing, producing, and writing. That is where the blame should be. Will I watch season 3? Maybe while I am ironing, hopefully I'm not (board) bored.
