I by no means am TV/Movie critic.

I am retired educator/coach of over 37 years in a school district that had the highest amount of low income/minority students in the county, I found this show more than powerful as one reviewer stated . I was emotionally drawn in to every episode due to the drama at their legal defense office. I thought the acting by some of the regulars was sometimes lacking but the characters of Nick, Lulu, and Burton (Simon Baker, Wendy Moniz, Dabney Coleman) were outstanding. Being retired my wife and I watch a lot of TV and this series on Hulu was one of our most satisfying watches so far. We kept asking ourselves how we missed it when it aired in 2001? There haven't' been too many shows over the years that I became so evolved with the characters as The Guardian. The writing/creation by David Hollander is top notch in highlighting family/social problems of our society and the lack of equitable legal help for the poor and indigent. Comments on IMBD say that Hollander's brother - A social worker was his inspiration for his creation.

All I can say is CBS's current programing lineup can't come close to The Guardian.

You won't be disappointed and you will be sorry when it ends.

I first heard about this documentary from Tom Hartmann while listening to his show on SiriusXM radio. If you never really understood what the Bernie Sanders movement was all about, view this documentary and you will better appreciate his views. I always knew that corporate influence in our government was there but this program digs deep into the beginnings of it with great detail and explanation. If you have any interest in the political, economic, and social struggles we are facing as a nation there is no better video out there that brings to the light the very simple fact that the corporate elite has gradually gained control of all aspects of our lives for the past 40-50 years. The blatant disregard for workers and their families in search of profit has left millions of Americans displaced and without hope. The recent election of Joe Biden in 2020 has me questioning if he will continue down the same road as all the past presidents since this takeover began, or will he take on the corporate ruling class and begin to address the loss of jobs, income inequality? Only time will tell. I was riveted to the screen during this documentary and highly recommend it.
