Bad Judge

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.

I knew about this series when it was airing on TV during the 2014/2015 season but for some reason I never got around to watching any of it.

The reason I got interested in this show was for Kate Walsh. I had seen her in Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice but it was hearing her interviews and even on the Nerdist podcast and hearing how funny she was that got me interested in watching this.

I then heard this show got cancelled and then I just let it slide in lieu of the long list of things I want to watch but I just saw the name again recently and decide to give it ago.

Now I'm just pis*ed!

This show is bloody awesome!

The laughs were definitely there, from Kate Walsh and the rest of the equally awesome cast (Tone Bell, John Ducey, Ryan Hansen, Miguel Sandoval and Amy Rhodes). The cast would probably have to be one of the things I liked most about this show; how much chemistry they had and how they all worked well together and in different duos and groups throughout the series.

As much as I liked it… it probably wouldn't be something I go back and watch again but I most definitely would have watched a second season!

It's well written, it's funny, there's character growth (and not so much that it's a different character by the end) and it's just something laidback and enjoyable to watch.

CHAPPY THINKS that the only bad thing about this show was this it was cancelled!

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.

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.

I happened to meet this one today afternoon, and I am so happy to finally watch a series that is this funny :) They could pick the right actors for the characters, stories are easy but not boring at least - not a drama, so this is not the most important point, but what I enjoy the most is the good jokes in every situation :) I told my friend to watch the first episode, and she enjoyed just as much as I did, we really laughed a lot.

I cannot remember which series was the last one that made me laugh this hard, but for now I will follow this one and hope that it will not be cancelled.

Kate and Tone are absolutely on the top with their characters :)
