Critic Reviews

David Zurawik

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. Read full review

Robert Bianco

There is something extraordinarily appealing about the show's central pair. Read full review

Barry Garron

If you can ignore for a moment a logical flaw that permeates the series, you'll find an absorbing, well-paced legal drama with both heart and attitude, not to mention cinematography good enough to carry the Jerry Bruckheimer imprimatur. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Mostly overcomes its contrived premise and clichéd courtroom theatrics with well-played characters you might actually root for.

Dalton Ross

The constant moral back-patting leaves me feeling, well, limp. [30 Sep 2005, p.87]

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times

Charlie McCollum

Baruchel and Johnson (who is quite appealing in his role) have real chemistry. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Give it credit for consistency: a bad concept, badly written for bad actors. Read full review

I really liked that show and was really looking foward to Monday's to watch it. Give it a chance. Real sorry you had to cancell it.
