    Baruchel... plays Ross with a winningly earnest goofiness, while Johnson skillfully navigates the darkly comic territory of being over the hill and irritated by everything and everyone who reminds him of his glory days.
  2. There's something weirdly charming about the pair's chemistry.
  3. It's rather old-fashioned, except that there's something real about the chemistry.
  4. "Just Legal" is just tedious.

    Not my favorite law practice show ever but certainly very good. The two lead characters play off of each other well and the scripting is fairly tight. Better than a lot of shows that have stayed on the air. Expand

    Promising show, especially Don Johnson's character. Good stories will give the show depth, but bad writing will sink it fast.
