It's all quite sturdily built and well-acted, with characters one cares about. Read full review

The Firm is a modern, old-fashioned lawyer show--and that's a good thing. Read full review

A solid if unspectacular story about one of the most unlucky lawyers ever depicted on television. Read full review

These cases don't come together so much as they suggest a formula. Read full review

NBC's version of The Firm is shaky at best. Read full review

Robert Bianco

The Firm is part weekly procedural, part season-long conspiracy, and wholly unsatisfying. Read full review

We watch this suspense filled show and can't wait for the next episodes to come out. It is hard to find a series as interesting as The Firm on the networks so please don't cancel this show!

Excellent suspenseful show befitting of a Grisham novel. Although the flashbacks style can be a bit irritating at times, nonetheless the writing, acting and plot lines are riveting, especially for network tv.

@chughead, if you are such a big Grisham fan, you would know that he was involved in this project and approves of it. If you think it is a poor continuation of the storyline, you have Grisham to blame for approving of it.

The show is good but it just doesn't seem like something that can be carried over to a second season. Once the issues with Mitch's new firm and the mob get resolved (this can't be dragged out over multiple seasons), they will simply be left with a procedural legal drama that likely would not last.… Expand

The Firm is a suspenseful thriller which does a great job at expanding the story of the McDeere family. Of course its another instance of them getting involved with an overly-watchful and controlling firm, but it wouldn't be The Firm without it!! I think the casting is well thought out andThe Firm is a suspenseful thriller which does a great job at expanding the story of the McDeere family.

I think the casting is well thought out and acting is above average. The direction of the show is also well done and makes you wonder what will happen next. With all the boring reality shows that continue to pervade the tube, I am glad to see a show worth watching.… Expand

John Grisham may be turning in his grave if he had one...or least biting his lip for this DRY remake. Cancel! Left a review because I'm a Grisham and Firm admirer and hate to see something great get defaced. zzzzzz!
