This show had all the makings of a great show but unfortunately it never gained enough of an audience. The characters are interesting enough but nothing revolutionary. They are comical though and the cast do a really good job at portraying their respective roles. Kate Reed is particularly entertaining.I personally found season one to be better than season two. Season two seems a little less "sparkly" but it still feels engaging.The show may not have aired for many seasons but it's a solid comedy drama with plenty of heart and interesting legal story lines. Give it a go and you won't regret it.

She was SO much better as Dani Reese. Her role as Kate Reed is a spoiled, obnoxious, gets a man to do anything she wants by batting her eyes, thinks her looks get her out of anything, and shallow character. OK, she can negotiate well, but that is really her character's only positive attribute.I watched most of season #1 but hate the character so much I have boycotted season #2. Absolutely loved Sarah Sashi's character on "Life", I have seen almost every episode and it had a depth which challenged her acting skills and made me admire her as more than "just another pretty face" that had been plugged into a series. I "Fairly Legal", she has 2 types of scenes, either the "be really cute and adorable" act or the "be angry about not getting your way" act. It makes for a cute but shallow character who is more annoying than interesting.Sarah, I apologize if this seems too harsh. You are just capable of better work than this and deserve better roles.

The leading lady cannot act! Her style is decidedly wooden. The dialog is contrived and overly predictable. Time after time, she is rude and thinks she can get away with it because she is attractive. It seems like the only assets she brings to the show are her good looks and her ability to swing her hips at least three feet to the left and right. Why do networks invest so much money into shows as shallow as this one obviously is? And her office counterpart: he is in need of drastic acting lessons as well. This show is destined for a very short run. Maybe given enough time, the show can mature but what I have seen so far in not impressive in the least. The show needs better acting and stronger plots. The show needs better character development with less emphasis on the lady's mental assets.Love the theme song though!

Finally a show that is new, fresh and more unpredictable than anything on TV. Our legal system is not about truth or even justice it is all about the law and which lawyers best spin it to their advantage. This show produces fair and just settlements that benefit all and at the least cost, not the pompous arrogant people TV portrays lawyers to be. (I know one show says that attorneys MAKE the laws.) I know there are times it gets to be a little sappy but I am tired of shows with all the blood, guts and bodies. It even gives sappiness a fresh spin. The characters have real personality, but that is USA network's motto. To top this all off Sarah Shahi is super-hot. I hope this show runs for many seasons and not just 10 episodes so far......
