    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.

    Slcik but totally empty. I was very put off by the hyperbolic glitz. All surface not substance.

    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.

    Flying in the face of most professional reviewers comments, I felt this show was incredibly shallow, noisy, and ulitmately annoying. Things were done and said in the court room scenes, especially by the prosecutor, that no decent defense lawyer (or judge) would let pass. I will give Justicet one more show of my time to see if it improves by my standards. My suspicion is that it will not.

    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.

    With so many forensic holes in the story, it's as if none of the producers ever saw an episode of Bruckhiemer's CSI. The cast is poorly directed, with Graves (the stiff Black lawyer) seems like a Green Beret who is ready, when his "captain" says "Appeal," he answers "How High?" Lastly, the "truth" tag was pedantic at best.

    I felt like someone had hit me over the head with one of those cartoon mallet. Yes, Jerry, we get the point already. Your show is about a LA law firm that employs a "shadow jury" to help direct strategy during a criminal trial. So, how many clients does TNT+G have who (a) are accused of murder (b) can afford millions for legal representation where (c) the evidence is in dispute.

I think most multi-millionaires are NOT arresed on criminal charges - which is why the OJ trial was so unique. Who is this law firm going to represent for 22 cases a season, and how much do they really charge?… Expand

    Im not sure why I even gave this show a "2". The acting is so over done and the script so lame a human could not have written it. I forced myself to watch the first show but last night I only lasted 15 minutes. I feel sorry for anyone who liked this garbage.

    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.

    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."

    This would be a lot better if every scene wasn't reaching for the bleachers. In the premiere, the DA that tried the case was so over-the-top in his acting - and even worse with his writing - if I were a member on that jury, I would've voted Not Guilty just to irritate him. And, come on, bringing a tarp and a blood-filled head into the courtroom? Not only over the top, but This would be a lot better if every scene wasn't reaching for the bleachers.

And, come on, bringing a tarp and a blood-filled head into the courtroom? Not only over the top, but unrealistic. And "what really happened" is unnecessary, because if their clients aren't truly innocent at least 16-18 of the episodes, it's going to come off like they're putting murderers on the street on a regular basis. And that kid lawyer can't act his way out of a paper courtroom!… Expand

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

    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]
