The "Funny or Die" duo makes this zesty, single-camera comedy speak to adults by letting their lead be one.
Walsh throws herself into the part but Bad Judge so far is falling apart around her. It’s not terrible, and maybe not even a misdemeanor offense. But it’s still guilty of not being all that good.

Anyone who thinks that bad judge is not the least bit nice has a random sense of humour. i think this great, watching Kate Walsh on screen again is fun. she is gorgeous and i think if you dont find it funny you can watch it because she is in it. She should act more on leading roles, because watching this show end would be pretty disappointing.

SEASON 1
Best show that's been on TV in years. What a hoot! She's a free spirit that does and says the things many of wish we could. It's quirky and refreshing, and although some people may not get it, it's totally relatable to many of us, especially women. No, it's not serious drama so there's no need to over-analyze or nit pick the plot or acting. It's just clever, intelligent (not in the academic sense) fun.

SEASON 1
The show wallows in lowest common denominator jokes that more often than not don't land.
The original Bad Judge pilot wasn't all that funny, but a show with the guts (and the appropriate channel placement) to go full "Bad Santa" with her as the lead could work very well. Instead, Bad Judge has been noted into oblivion. She's no longer quite so bad, but she's also not anything else. She's just... there.
Walsh’s gifts--put to great use recently on “Fargo”--aren’t the only ones going to waste. Ryan Hansen as an expert medical witness and the judge’s booty-call-who-wants-more, and Ryan McPartlin as a dim-witted fireman, are given little to work with. No matter what the crime, no TV viewer should be sentenced to watch Bad Judge.
Walsh is a fantastic actress with a wide range of talents, including comedy, but none of them were on display here. While there is potential in the concept of a respected judge on the bench who is a hard-partying reprobate in her personal life, NBC failed to find it in this dud.
A toxic concoction of smarm and schmaltz. ... Bad Judge is the sort of bad TV show that makes you despair of the future of comedy.
This show has a great cast and a funny concept. This trend of “Bad ___” is really growing on me. But this one especially because how often do you hear of a bad judge? And she’s not even a bad judge or a bad person. She just is somewhat immature which makes her likable. Kate Walsh does a great job portraying this character and she has great comedic timing. The rest of the actors do just as well. The writing isn’t as funny as it could be but just because I’m not laughing every other minute doesn’t mean it’s not a good show. It is a great show and it has a lot of potential to do even better.

"Bad Judge" is a mess, an utter and complete mess. Not Kate Walsh. Never Kate Walsh. She has the gift. So, bitc*, get with the program. Not the show, but the program.

Are you serious. This is just bad. Overboard with stupid on this show. Falls completely flat and that is in just 5 minutes. Get rid of it. Changing channel :(
