The Fix

What is the big fuss about Maya? She is not a particularly good lawyer yet everyone raves about her. She lost a big case but her former co-workers want her back so she can lose it again? She is arrogant and self-involved yet she has 2 men over the moon for her and of course she has a stalker. The press and the public can't get enough of her This is Marcia Clark's narcissistic image of herself. What an unlikable character.

The Fix delivers an interesting pilot. Marcia Clarke obliged, there are some parallels with the case of the victims Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman and it is interesting to watch what the pilot is doing with these. However, the plot get more complicated, some suspects are already presented and twists and interesting criminal behaviours were already present and showed that the rest of the story will be something quite different from what we are expecting. The actors were great and quickly presented but with enough to understand their life and motivations. The pilot offers a solid beginning and I hope the rest of the episodes will deliver quality writings, strong full characters and unexpected but realistically turns. I'm curious about what the rest of the show will deliver to the viewers.

Marsha Clark and her writing partners Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain really took a spin on a story we know so well. They are keeping us guessing. Fantastic cast, great writing, surprising payoffs! Can't watch to see if Savy is guilty as he looks or if he's telling the truth. Will have to keep watching to find out!

In 2010, LA prosecutor Maya Travis (Robin Tunney) loses a big celebrity case against movie star Sevvy Johnson (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) for the murder of his wife. She retires in the aftermath and eventually settles down with a new life. Eight years later, Sevvy is again the prime suspect in the murder of his girlfriend Jessica Meyer. Maya's old colleague Matthew Collier calls her back to assist in the new investigation. Investigator CJ was her best friend during the original trial. Sevvy rehires his old lawyer Ezra Wolf (Scott Cohen) who is heavily in gambling debt. Collier pushes aside lead prosecutor Loni Kampoor in favor of Travis.

Marcia Clark is one of the creators of the show and it has many parallels to the infamous OJ case. It's a great soapy legal drama but it gets way too overly dramatic at times and pushes beyond believability. Nevertheless, the turns are fun. The show's three leads, Tunney, AAA, and Cohen, provide plenty of juice. Each one create great drama despite going overboard a few times. Its main drawback is its limited run potential. The show would run out of plot once the crime is solved. It's fine for a limited run mini-series. For an ongoing show, it's questionable how long the plot can be dragged out. It got canceled after a ten episode run. I just saw the final episode. The resolution makes no sense. The killer wouldn't act that way and do what happens earlier in the show. The twist is simply bad writing.

Can't get past the bad acting, horrible writing, and especially the lead actresse's constant fishlip pose with her mouth!
