    Critics can be unfair sometimes- I feel this show will go a long, long way. Wonderful cast, Kerr Smith really surprised me- in a great way. Well directed and pretty well written as well. Thumbs up from this picky viewer.

    One of the rare shows in recent memory that leave me shocked that an entire hour has passed when it ends. Doesn't lose my attention for a second.

    Overall a great start, the show is interesting and has a lot of potentional so long as they continue to build stories with the characters. I did find it a bit boring that the "amazing" end video was exact to the case. Will be interesting to see where the show goes.

    I was very disappointed FOX cancelled this show. I thought the script was intelligent & flowed nicely. I loved the unique piece this show had-showing what "really" happened! That's what is missing from other shows such as Law & Order. Yes, you can make an educated guess, but like real life, you can never be sure.

    BRING THIS SHOW BACK! Fox you have made Australian viewers be subject to MEDICAL MYSTERIES! The show was the combination of Boston Legal with the Practice. BRING IT BACK!

    A great hybrid show... CSI meets Boston Legal. So far the stories have been varied and believable and the end reveal at the end of every episode is a great touch.

    It was great to see Victor Garber playing a character unlike any he has played before. I hope they give us something to like about Trott b/c right now, he's pretty much just a bastard. It would be nice to see him pet a kitten or something.

    I thought this was a great show that combined some very innovative ideas to actually show what takes place in a court room these days. No one really knows what goes on within a high profile media trial and how that can dramatically effect the outcome of a trial. I enjoyed the fast paced camera action. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out the outcome. Thumbs up for me.

    Excellent work. A fresh, new approach. Almost as good as The Practice in its prime!

    I loved the show. I think it shines a true light on our legal system. It's not about good guys and bad guys, innocence or guilt. It's about winning and who can afford the best representation. Richard Prior, after appearing in court, once said " as a black man I went to court looking for Justice and that's what I found just us." I thing writer/producer Jonathan Shapiro, as a I loved the show. I think it shines a true light on our legal system. It's not about good guys and bad guys, innocence or guilt.

    It kept me watching so it wasn't too bad it wasn't the best either. Plus I like watching Victor Garber, he's a good actor.

    Great show. Very fast, but totally interesting. The only problem is there will be no exploration of characters if the show doesn't start breaking down the cases in at least 2 shows.

    At the root, this is essentially Perry Mason redux, only the vibe is less ’50s genteel murder mystery than 21st-century shock and awe.

    Jerry Bruckheimer's latest fun-to-watch procedural.

    All the bases are covered, and if that doesn't make for the most inventive show, it makes for a quite watchable one. [1 Sep 2006, p.61]
