The Rainmaker

The biggest impediment to enjoying a show that’s made to be nothing more than enjoyable is Rudy himself. Without more motivation than a boilerplate tragic backstory (his brother, who wanted to be a lawyer, died before he could realize that dream) and a general desire to be successful on his lost loved one’s behalf, there’s very little reason to invest in Rudy’s struggle, especially when compared to his easy-to-root-for past iterations.
