Bluff City Law - Lei de Memphis

(Initial Impressions) I really wanted to like this series, I've been a fan of Jimmy Smits for a long time, and the supporting cast is impressive, as well, but, I found Caitlin McGee's performance wasn't convincing. Or, was it the director's failure to guiding us into the emotional conflicts that lie at the heart of this premise. I just didn't buy it. The transitions to family firm and family reconciliation were rushed and Sydney Strait came off as a self-centred, immature brat. Maybe, once the series has some time to breath, the performance, writing and direction will fall into place and we will find the heart of the piece. I give this pilot a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Legal Drama}

It's only been one episode but so far, so good. I have to reserve judgement because of today's TVverse. This, however, was void of political agenda, the soundtrack wasn't blaring while the actors were speaking, it was just pure entertainment with good writing, great acting, and researched courtroom procedures. A night and day difference from "All Rise". I might be a little biased, because I am a huge fan of Sloane. Great facial expressions. He was great in "Longmire" and, so far, great in this. McGee is another that I was impressed with.

I am enjoying this show less and less. Elijah Strait's wife is very revered by Elijah and all, and it is getting more difficult to accept the perfection of the woman while out of sight. I do recognize she is dead but she evidently is perfect. Hard to accept. And it seems this show wants to take on all current social issues that are causing some angst all at once. This current show deals with euthanasia, alternate life style issues, health care issues etc Seems a lot for one show when some of the viewers are wrestling with their own beliefs. I seems TV wants to take us into the brave new world all at once and I am starting to resent it.

Everything about this show is great. Good acting, different challenges, and based in a very interesting town. Hope this gets renewed.

I was not overly impressed with the first episode, but figured i would give the 2nd one a try. Episode by episode it has improved and has caught my attention and had me looking forward to the next episode. I feel this one will continue to improve and captivate the audience. If people were not impressed by the first episode they should give it a try and watch the others.
