Striking Out

..this is a show if the powers that be leave it alone could go a very long way.. .. it has all the initial markings of an exceptionally long run series.. ..for is the writing and cast that if kept together, will be among the longer best..

.. there lots of the not-so-good-ones that keep getting renewed season after season.. ..always good to have one of the really worthwhile pull through time & again..

This show is a refreshing change for a USA audience that's grown tired of the usual L.A. drivel. The characters are well developed and the writing and cinematography are first rate. You can't help but root for the characters. It's easy for normal, everyday people to relate to the characters and identify with their situations. There appears to be genuine chemistry between cast members and they all do a fantastic job of conveying the feelings, emotions and subtleties behind each character and plot.

The story lines are complex but not forced or heavy handed, and flow seamlessly from one episode to the next. The twists in the plot are well-timed and develop naturally. I also found the portrayal of the city of Dublin interesting. Here in the States we are accustomed to seeing Dublin portrayed on-screen as a rough, gritty town, but in this show, the city comes across as beautiful and cosmopolitan, akin to Vancouver, B.C. or other trendy waterfront cities. It feels like the kind of place you'd really like to spend some time. There are plenty of good reasons to watch this show. But be warned, if you watch one episode, you're going to want to come back for more.

Outstanding series with fantastic actors and excellent writing! I can't wait to see more. I especially appreciate that this legal drama casts its lead character as an intelligent, caring, strong woman. Her professional and personal relationships are developed in depth, with enough humor to keep the series on the light side. I also like that this series does not rely on graphic images of violence, especially against women and children, to convince viewers to keep watching, as do so many similarly themed shows. Thank you, Acorn, for providing such an awesome series!

OK so if you want to know what happens in a real lawyer's office go and sit there for a few days. This is television and this series (too short) is a great piece of escapism. It's so nice not to have about five thousand and twenty-three story-lines or a script that is unintelligible. There is a real freshness about this series and it is good to see an Irish team take on such a project. One criticism is that it would be nice to let the actors out of that canal basin now and again! Looking forward to more! Ms Huberman creates a new type of lawyer hero, one with an overlay of innocent ingenuity, again a refreshing departure from standard fare. Hovering in the background are a series of corrupt individuals giving the story a David versus Goliath theme.

The writers and producers are terribly negligent that they ended season two without bringing closure to the show! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
