    Characters or caricatures??

    Having worked in the profession for over thirty years, I find the script eccentric and overdone. If any true professional behaved like most of the cast, they would be disbarred, broke, or both. Could have been good, but Shondaland can poison even the best ideas.

    Very good premise

    A good look at both sides of law. Very interesting to see how this show develops

    March 14 episode show the state of America and immigrants

    This episode touched my heart showing the state of mind that immigration policies have come to .. separating a child from a parent..and a parent who may have been illegal but with no record, a job and willing to step up and testify.

    I liked the statement of the court clerk expressing that immigrants of years past would probably not be welcome today.

    Let's face it..we are all immigrants.

    Great show.

    Has a lot of promise!

    While it still has the same lecturing premise of all Shonda Rhimes' shows, this has a nice new spin to it with young, energetic, & power hungry junior lawyers who all want a place in the judicial system. This shows a lot of promise & I'm sticking with it!

    I actually like this show..

    I'm not a lawyer or a veteran courtroom drama aficionado but I consider the cast to be charismatic, welcoming, and delightful. I like to see characters who stand up for what they believe in.

    I suppose things feel like they may be fast-tracked or easier than they would be in reality and I suppose that would deter interest for people who are actually in the field.

    Still, I find a show that instills solid work ethic into viewers to be a good thing. These characters show up to work early and work hard into the night. Something this newer generation probably needs to see more of.

    • Trivia
      In the pilot, Britne Oldford was cast as Sandra Black (renamed Bell) and Lyndon Smith was cast as Allison Anderson (renamed Adams). However, both roles were recast with other actresses. After reshooting the pilot with the actresses replacing Oldford and Smith, Britt Robertson and Jasmin Savoy Brown respectively, and having already shot the second episode, production on the show was temporarily shut down in mid-September 2017 in order to rewrite existing scripts for the rest of the season to adjust the show to Robertson and Brown's new dynamic.
