    I like the show. I've seen every episode. I think it's like Grey's Anatomy, only with lawyers.

    Introduction of the characters was completely lacking, however the show content was very good and compelling.

    I seem to be in the minority but I dug the show. I think they're really working on creating grey characters which I appreciate over the traditional black and white we usually see - especially within the context of the legal system. As someone in the demo, 20 - 35, I know what I'm doing on Fridays at 10...

    A total disapointment. As I was watching I found myself saying who cares. Thie show is very mediocre at best. I expect better from Dick Wolf.

    How could Dick Wolf even create this? It is horrible, and is nothing like Law and Order: CI or SVU! What's with Cabot being there? She's in witness protection! It doesn't make sense!

    Great show. Love the relationship between Brian and Chris. I hope it stays on. I am a young lawyer too and can completely identify.

    I can't believe this show is cancelled, I've been waiting all summer for it to come back! I was hooked after just a couple of episodes....

    It's LA Law for the new millenium, but it has too many young faces with no elder statesman to guide them. Acting is better than average; script is okay; situations seem realistic. I can't figure out who the "star" of the show is, but the "newbie" is mercilessly teased by his co-workers. Hazing is banned at most college fraternities, and should not be part of this show.

    I generally like it and am giving it a chance. I don't see anything "new" on it yet - typical law show - a cross between la law and law/order. Like seeing J. August Richards in another show, however his character seems a bit shallow so far, hope it steps up a bit.

    Striking! New and interesting mix or hard, soft, edgy and straight tones. Bawdy slice of life meets the confines of a network tv legal drama. Has potential!

    Terrible. A disgrace to the L&O show and a disservice to young lawyers everywhere!

    Tired from the very beginning, this show does not have a drop of originality. The characters are just as bland as the plot. A total waste of time.

    This is smart, fun, sexy and ultimately watchable--this from someone who limits his tv screentime severely. Boston Legal, 24, and anything I catch out of the side of my eyeball while my wife and daughter feed their joneses. Anson Mount, wow.

    I can't believe what a total waste of time this is. Why does the African American have to be with a tweeked out drug addict musician, and her being white is just besides the point. WHy, with all of the intelligent beautiful women, he could date he would settle with that. It seems to be stereotype that Black men just want to be with white woman, quality doesn't matter.

I expected more from the Wolfe series. I am so disappointed. And the fact that NBC keeps trying to rub it in my face by putting it in my other devoted time slots of Law & Order on Tues/ Wed/ and Sun just helped me kick the TV habit. Now I check the interned so I won't have to be subjected to that silliness. krl… Expand

    I thought it was well done, and I always either watched or recorded it. My question is, with the viewer reviews (and we're the ones who matter, right?) being so glowing, mostly, 9's and 10's, why the HELL would they cancel this show? Personally, I think there are TOO many Law and Orders now, they diluted the brilliance of the first two and I was looking for new blood.

    Astoundingly boring and uninspired. [3 Mar 2006, p.91]

    A far cry from Boston Legal or even The Practice, this is so clumsy in its mix of the procedural and the personal that it should barely be legal.

    "Conviction" does exhibit a bit more creative promise than "Trial by Jury."
