Critic Reviews
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
The pilot is plodding at times, the result of a few too many
heart-to-heart discussions among the characters. Still, Williams,
Holliday and Heard create such fresh, memorable characters that it's
impossible to get bored. [16 Sept 1995, p.E7]

Season 1 Review:
The series shows signs of rising above its airport-bookstore pedigree, and it just happens to boast the best and deepest cast of any autumn newcomer. [17 Sept 1995, p.7C]

Season 1 Review:
This is hardly a plot to test Hercule Poirot's little gray
cells. It is a fairly typical movie-of-the-week type
action-lawyer show, and Reggie's a nice change as the
strong-woman-hero character. 16 Sept 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Williams and Heard are good fill- ins for Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones. [17 Sept 1995]

Season 1 Review:
Show is cast better than it deserves, with Williams gamely in for film's Susan Sarandon, Polly Holliday nicely restrained as Momma Love and Ossie Davis noble as the friendly judge who pops up all over the place. [15 Sept 1995]

Season 1 Review:
A first-rate movie thriller has been turned into a second-rate TV show, but upper-second-rate, not lower. And among this season's new entries, with one or two exceptions, second-rate is about as good as things get. [16 Sept 1995, p.D01]

Season 1 Review:
Viewers shouldn't be fooled into expecting more than a conventional lawyer show. [16 Sept 1995, p.8E]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Williams, though, in both Sunday's telemovie and the subsequent Tuesday-night regular episode time-slot at 8, is too reserved and colorless. [15 Sept 1995, p.127]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Reggie doesn't need gunshots or explosions when she can talk her foes to death. [15 Sept 1995, p.53]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
The story told in tonight's pilot is more of the same old TV stuff. [17 Sept 1995, p.TV6]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
The original pilot was a mess, confusing and annoyingly full of holes, but an extremely well-cast mess with a lot of potential. [17 Sept 1995, p.6C]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Run-of-the-mill TV. [17 Sept 1995, p.F1]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
Say what literary critics will about John Grisham's best sellers, they're not dull. And dull is about the best you can say of the series derived from John Grisham's The Client. [15 Sept 1995, p.3D]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
The pilot only feels like it's three hours long. [17 Sept 1995, p.E01]
May 29, 2014
Season 1 Review:
As TV's gold-hearted Reggie, the capable JoBeth Williams is undermined by a script with plot holes wide enough to drive the Atlanta Braves and their families through. The plodding, convoluted, unnavigable story has her resourceful 11-year-old client -- the court has made her his legal guardian -- gaining possession of $1 million in stolen loot, putting both of them in conflict with some murderous types.
