I knew about this series when it was airing on TV during the 2014/2015 season but for some reason I never got around to watching any of it.The reason I got interested in this show was for Kate Walsh. I had seen her in Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice but it was hearing her interviews and even on the Nerdist podcast and hearing how funny she was that got me interested in watching this.I then heard this show got cancelled and then I just let it slide in lieu of the long list of things I want to watch but I just saw the name again recently and decide to give it ago.Now I'm just pis*ed!This show is bloody awesome!The laughs were definitely there, from Kate Walsh and the rest of the equally awesome cast (Tone Bell, John Ducey, Ryan Hansen, Miguel Sandoval and Amy Rhodes). The cast would probably have to be one of the things I liked most about this show; how much chemistry they had and how they all worked well together and in different duos and groups throughout the series.As much as I liked it… it probably wouldn't be something I go back and watch again but I most definitely would have watched a second season!It's well written, it's funny, there's character growth (and not so much that it's a different character by the end) and it's just something laidback and enjoyable to watch.CHAPPY THINKS that the only bad thing about this show was this it was cancelled!

My interest in this show can best be illustrated by an inverse ln (log) graph. With each passing episode the main character became less and less appealing until by the 5th episode I stopped watching because it seems like a one trick pony where the entire focus is on the main character and how cool she is while not having her sh*t together....but it comes across more like one of those aunts at family get-together who try so hard to impress upon much younger generations of the family that she's still cool, young and somehow connected on those levels. She's so wild and unorthodox.... OH ...she's just like we want to be when we grow up....or wanted to be when we where growing up. I can just imagine Seth McFarlane from Family Guy taking this show apart in righteous fashion....now THAT...I would watch! I found it wholly unsurprising that this show was canceled.

Judge Rebecca Wright (Kate Walsh) is a sexually-promiscuous hard-partying highly-inappropriate drunken single woman. She is not bound by the rules to the dismay of her superior Judge Hernandez (Miguel Sandoval). She has an on-and-off hookup with medical expert Dr. Gary Boyd (Ryan Hansen). Her best friend is her bailiff Tedward Mulray (Tone Bell). Tom Barlow (John Ducey) is the stuck up prosecutor.I like Kate Walsh especially in this brash character. I would have liked it more if she is even more inappropriate. The rest seems to be stuck on together in a random sitcom bull session. The first episode has a kid that seems so important but then they abandoned him. This being a network show. She has to have a heart of gold. This just makes this feel like an edgy show that got networktized. It feels old and tired before it even gets started.

This show is entirely underrated. It's a pretty original story line that contains good humor, it doesn't talk down to the viewer and or play on the same torn up romantic comedy like the new show A to Z. It baffles me that Bad Judge is rated lower than A to Z. I probably wouldn't entirely give it a 9/10, but as the rating is an average, it needs higher ratings, because it better not get canceled after one season. It also has a spectacular underlying theme that the justice system is flawed. It can be very difficult to provide help, (although an entirely different conversation.) It is a nice concept to see a caped (or robed) crusader who doesn't have her life together but doesn't mess around when it comes to work. Who has her own flaws but her secret selflessness and appreciation for the positive points of the law constantly overshadow her fun loving ways.
