    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]

    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.

    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]
