Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The series works to play to the audience’s natural affection for him [Jimmy Smits] to counteract McGee’s dissonant terseness. But the rest of the ensemble helps to ameliorate the brew, particularly the excellent Jayne Atkinson, Barry Sloane and MaameYaa Boafo. Like many new series, this is a drama that isn’t entirely cooked, but it could be a decent stew by midseason.

Season 1 Review:
A legal procedural strained through the cornball naturalism of NBC’s pride and joy “This Is Us,” the series has the deep-pile Quality Drama feel the network favors, with a muted palette and a pillowy soundtrack (spelled by an occasional blues or soul classic), with room built in for significant looks and pregnant pauses. ... Righteousness predominates, with scripts arranged so that all the pieces fall into order, that the wrong shall fail and the right prevail.

Season 1 Review:
Structurally, the show whips around from weekly forgettable David vs. Goliath cases to one serialized case without enough meat on its bones to justify the extension and more frivolous legal matters like the fight over a BBQ recipe. ... Generally the show feels like something David E. Kelley would have made and made better 20 years ago.
