Fairly Legal


Fairly Legal
The brilliant engineers in the U.S. show networks of laboratories have developed a formula to extract the narrow television. First, take a talented player with a history of TV images - Matthew Bomer, Jeffrey Donovan, and Mark Feuerstein, all in their fair share, no on-the TV set was playing white collar, and Burn Notice Royal Pain. Second, give the actors a job vintage TV - police, lawyer, doctor, spy - but ready to sprinkle in some eccentricity cable. Finally, she sends it to a bright spot almost exclusively of attractive people and friends of the spirit, and voila populated: Brain Candy! At first glance, the new legal dramedy perfectly legal enough pre-view of the United States, but the first season had some interesting possibilities ... although I'm not sure the whole package is still there.
First the good stuff. Series star Sarah Shahi is a wonderful actress. She was good in the first seasons of The L Word. She had a great guest star appearances soprano (plays a stripper Redeemer Vegas.) More recently he was an elegant presentation, on the NBC police is the name of life not been cut negotiable. Legal protagonist Kate Reed, Shahi somehow makes you think it is both a casualty of anxiety and a brilliant promoter.
In fact, the profession of Kate is another highlight of the show: Based on a series of mediation, at least a touch of freshness of the statutory formula. At the end of the episode, when Kate was the ashes of her late father, who describes actually speaks a very complex plot: while his lawyer father believes the letter of the law, believes that "the law" of human interaction back and forth. Quite legally clearperspective to mediation: There is only a facade.
Unfortunately, other elements of the first season was a kind of stunted. On one side can not decide the show, a dark drama or a legal quirkfest be zippy. Kate scenes careers within and outside the courtroom and in fact in contempt of court by a judge who seemed to despise from a sitcom set. But the result was other elements - a teenager in error by the Yale is tied in the ghetto, charged with a long meditation on the relationship of Kate with her dead father - who seemed in a much larger, are more directly "The lawyers really care. "
The show was enough evidence eccentric (like the constant references to the Wizard of Oz) that I want to make again. But as Bay Area native, I must stress that the representation of the number of San Francisco is very stupid - with the exception of the constant (greenscreened) plans Transamerica Pyramid and leaving nowhere plot twist a parody of the show can also be in every city, U.S. is. (Or rather, from Vancouver.) It's kind of embarrassing, especially as their U.S. counterparts to see Burn Notice and In Plain Sight collect miles as its own (Miami and Albuquerque, respectively).
