    I've seen much better law shows. This one didn't even seem to try.

    uninspired, unoriginal, and about as far from "realistic" as it gets...this is an abomination

    Tuned in to see the cast, won't ever return because of the lazy writing. Awful, just awful.

    It’s actually kind of depressing just how obviously “The Deep End’’ has been constructed of used parts from the likes of “LA Law,’’ “The Practice,’’ “Boston Legal,’’ “Damages,’’ “Eli Stone,’’ and “The Good Wife.’’

    Judging by the pilot, it seems a safe bet that soon enough everyone will have slept with everyone else on the show. But unless the storytelling evens out, there won't be anyone watching.
