Bad Judge

This new NBC comedy drama "Bad Judge" is a little outrageous and far out for the way it shows the life of a professional woman, as really most judges probably don't live like this. Anyway it has Kate Walsh as Rebecca Wright a hard partying, hard living, outspoken Los Angeles, California judge who marches to the beat of her own drum. The series focus is on how Rebecca balances her life and cases all within the criminal court justice system. And plus the show does showcase the hard love life of Rebecca's as it's sex charged with sleeping around and one night stands plus it's a treat to see the Kate Walsh character of Rebecca wearing plenty and many sexy colored bras! Overall a series that doesn't take itself to serious, anyway it's one to watch for outrageous fun and it's a plus to see the sexy Kate Walsh.

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.

While (as another reviewer pointed out) California judges are elected, most of them are appointed when there is a vacancy and face only a re-election where they are rarely opposed.

But Kate Walsh's character goes WAY over the line. Putting a fire ax into a tire would have been a criminal act -- the sort of thing that gets a judge up before the review board, probably dismissed if not disbarred as well.

The worst part is Kate Walsh has generally played beautiful, classy women and this character is a tramp.

The show has a judge routinely getting drunk (borderline alcoholic), breaking laws and abusing authority.

If you can suspend disbelief, you can enjoy it.

Now that Bad teacher is canceled you can watch Bad Judge instead!

It's a show about a sexually liberal woman who happens to be a ...judge! She has sex in her office (and everywhere else), she uses the court's bailiff to dispose her used pregnancy test, and...well..you can imagine the rest.

The premise is impossible, so it's all about how funny it actually is.

Will Ferrel serves as an executive producer so you can understand the type of jokes you get with this. After you get pass the "she is a judge" part there ain't so many jokes to have fun with. With these professional comedians it feels more like a sketch of "Funny or die" or something.

Of course the good (erase that) bad judge has also a big heart. Like bad teacher (the series) if you ever were watching the show. She cares about the children of the people who gets behind bars.

Overall: Not bad bad. But I think the premise will worn out pretty quick.

They should stop producing these shows for the US TV and air it in Europe or somewhere else the ratings would be totally different.

I don't know what it is these days but a lot of great shows get canceled maybe Americans don't get sarcasm or black humor as Europeans do , or simply don't like it, and all those great shows get these ratings and got canceled it makes me just sad because those are great shows and are fun to watch.

So maybe try produce some of these shows just for the European market i would bet on it the ratings would be higher than in the us.

So i wish this show to come back.
