![]() While Sandra and the rest are likable, outside of Kate, you are familiar with their types. Criticism Been There, Done That, Seen Her, and What A Boring First Caseįor those who have watched network TV legal dramas within the last couple years, for those used to the formula of Shonda Rhimes, and are basically addicts of television, there isn’t a big sell here. In my mind, she is the only one who seems like a fresh character amongst the cast who each fit a familiar trope and, depending how the character is written, she may find this to be her breakout role. She wants them to be better and points them in the right direction, but don’t get it twisted, she isn’t there to do your job. Who enjoys the competition of matching wits with someone, but at the same time isn’t trying to insult and put down her opponent. Someone who wishes to uphold the law but doesn’t necessarily want to send someone to prison. Perhaps it is because she is a mix of the sweetness of Sandra, but also the competitive nature of Leonard.

Making him quite lucky to be on the public defender side for while Federal Prosecutor Roger Gunn expects wins from his attorneys, Jay’s boss, Jill, expects losses and boy does he deliver. Someone so naïve that his client plays him for a fool and with him going against Kate, and clearly not doing his homework, he looks like a total buffoon. On the other side of the courtroom is the optimistic Jay. A nice guy who seemingly was recruited to the wrong side but after his ex Allison, a public defender, betrays his trust, it seems he may venture onto the dark side. Making it so your mistakes quickly become her advantage. Kate, a procedural attorney who always covers her ass and does her homework. On the side of prosecution we have Leonard, a cutthroat attorney who, when he smells blood, he goes to strike. Two separate teams, federal prosecutors and public defenders, weekly will face off in the Mother court of the southern district of New York. Besides a focus on young attorneys exclusively.
