I didnt care for the premise when it originally aired on TV, thought I'd give it a try. The first 3 seasons were fast, characters developed well, it was was funny, tense, and actually had a few courtrooms scenes. There were several guest stars I was glad to see again.
The characters are all very human, some morph into the other a bit, and they are all dysfunctional. Almost every time victory presents itself, these folks snatch it and turn it into defeat.
Patrick J Adams plays Mike - the rogue stoner genius fraud with a heart of gold who morphs into Gabriel Macht's Harvey - accomplished yet conceited, stoic macho man.
Rick Hoffman as Louis steals the show IMO as the scheming, neurotic n'er-do-well with facial and body tics. This actor has probably done Shakespeare. In fact, in one episode (that almost Jumps the Shark) he professes a memory of every line from every Shakespeare play.
Donna Paulsen as Donna is a goddess in the true sense. She runs the place.
Starting around season 4, some lines, phrases ("What are you doing here?", "Are you ok?", etc) and situations started to feel too familiar and predictable as if the show's writers were recycling previous episodes. I found myself either fast-forwarding or increasing the pace on Netflix to 1.5x speed. I've grown weary of the in-fighting, back-stabbing, and the smaller crumbs of legal talk and courtroom drama.
Halfway through season 5 I decided to limit my viewing to maybe once a week; originally that's how the show was originally presented.
