    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.

    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!

    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.

    Great show!! Not since "the Practice" has there been a greater show about lawyers. Being a lawyer myself, I have watched both episodes with intrigue. I am very excited about the show!!!

    I love this show. As a lawyer I think there are things in there to add to the drama, but I think it is a great show. Love watching it. It gives you a sincere look at what criminal lawyers do, just wish it was longer because it goes by too fast and overpowers the great actors.

    not yet aired on German tv, I was able to get 12 episodes from a friend of mine on DVD - it really is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Two friends of mine have seen it, too. We all love it. I cannot believe this show has been canceled while shows like close to home are still running.

    BEST SHOW ON TV. Better than Shark. Please put it back on maybe on a different night like Saturday since there is nothing on that night worth watching.

    This is the best show on tv. If Fox cancels it, they will have no shows worth watching!

    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]
