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

    At least Lewis appeared to be having fun, which can't be said of anyone else in this rather grim production.

    The case of the week and the background story seem to be competing to see which can be sillier.

    Like so many reboots, The Firm is a waste of precious resources, especially its cast.

    It feels the opposite of relevant and fresh.
