I watched the entire series in a week, here is what I liked and what I didn't like
So I binged the entire series up to the end of S04 and have some stuff I wanted to discuss, perhaps you guys can also share your views, etc. :)
-
I like the courtroom drama, at least in earlier seasons it was kinda plausible a well thought of. The stuff Mickey did to win was setup well and I liked the chemistry between Mickey and the defendant's. I really, very much enjoyed her and Lisa Trammel.
-
I like Manuel as Mickey, I really like his accent. I enjoy Lorna (although I am maybe biased since I knew the actress from HIMYM).
-
I don't like Cisco, the character is a complete caricature of a "tough" reformed badass. I don't particularly enjoy Maggie, especially in S01-S03. But she grew on me in S04.
-
I don't like sequences with Legal, which in my eyes, were so cringey I had to laugh at some points. Nothing against the actor himself, but the way he delivers lines is... weird. I don't know how to describe it better.
-
I feel that the quality of the show went down a bit in S02, then picked up in S03 and now again it went a bit over the top in S04. I believe S03 was the best overall. Felt like perhaps writers lost the plot a bit in S04.
-
I don't like the relationships between Lorna and Cisco or even Mickey and his wife. After the first season, I kinda just... skipped these parts and only watched things related to the case. Did I miss anything? Because the show kind of feels like a legal soap opera with mediocre characters otherwise.
Anyways, that's it off the top of my head, just wanted to share my view on the show. I'd give it probably a 6.5/10. If they focused way more on the cases instead of the relationships, it would probably be a strong 8.
