Julianna Margulies now gets to command the screen in something juicier than the usual procedural. [14 Mar 2008, p.70]
-
80The indignant heart of Canterbury's Law is that of a case-of-the-week procedural--a suitably suspenseful one at that--and within those institutional boundaries it's nice to see Margulies shake off the martyrish mien of Nurse Carol Hathaway on ER for somebody whose self-destructiveness gives her a nasty, intelligent severity at work.
-
60Without Margulies, the case would be closed for Canterbury's Law. She gives the show a chance. Her biggest challenge will be overcoming the writing.
-
30Canterbury's Law is a Frankenstein's monster of a dozen cop/law shows, a pale, lurching version of the flawed and fascinating women who are taking back television like so many modern Cagneys and Laceys.

DavidE.4Totally formulaic, bad acting, poor scripts. Not worthy of even clicking the DVR to record. Rest in peace.
