    Ultimately, Brooklyn DA is an intimate look at urban prosecutors that, even though it can feel a little too clean, certainly stands out among unscripted summer programming.

    The show is indeed diverting. Nothing surprising, but pretty consistently interesting and as easy to watch as any invented procedural.

First off, showing Brooklyn and all its places really made me understand the heart of it. Next the shows themselves were extremely interesting and the hour just flew by. I waited each week to see the next one. Was able to learn about all the work a DA's office does Hope you will be on again each and every week. I already miss you… Full Review »
