Storyline
Follows the life of a former hit TV series actor by the name of Dean Sanderson (Rob Lowe). Dean has returned to his hometown of Boise, Idaho, after years of portraying a lawyer on the fictitious television show THE GRINDER in Hollywood. His years of portraying a lawyer on television have somehow given him the idea he is actually qualified to work in and perhaps run his family's real-life law firm.

Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
Didn't think this show would be good at all. Glad I gave it a chance. Lowe and Savage are amazing together. Could see these 2 doing future movies or shows together. Entire cast is great.
The writing is pure genius.
It might be a little too complex for the average person though. The writing is that brilliant.
I highly recommend this show.
Watch it more than once to truly appreciate its genius.
Problem this show will run into is how do you keep it fresh and complex at the same time.
Good luck
