I've never read the book or seen the movie and it seems like most of the reviewers are basing the show on them. I think it's a very interesting thriller and can't wait for it to continue. Critics can go screw themselves. There are a ton of hit shows that "critics" don't like. Usually if a critic hates it, it's actually a good show.
The show has promise i will admit. Unlike suits we see cases overarch through multiple episodes and the mystery of Dan Foglers nurse character.
John Slattery definitely carries the actors in scenes. The lunch scene with him dropping the fries to "define our relationship" to the first year associate asking for a favor was greatly written and delivered by him perfectly.
Contrary wise in the scene with Baylor talking to his soon to be client the writers pussied out. The opportunity was there for him to explode and tell that woman that she knows nothing about him and how he had to struggle to get where he was. Wouldve been a powerful excert considering the hits he's endured the whole episode. The whole "common enemy" bit killed the potential of the scene.

Don't listen to the first reviewer.
I loved the pilot to be honest. It was a bit messy with multiple plotlines that kept me interested. The acting was decent. I didn't notice too much that was distracting.
Madison, Milo, Wade, and Lana were actually why I began watching this. I love the cast sm already. Obviously, It's not oscar worthy at least judging by the first episode but it has potential.
I also love the soundtrack and cinematography. Btw, I don't even like lawyer shows that much so this was a surprise. Other than that don't anything else to say, I'm super excited for what comes next!

Unnamed Southern City so they can play all the types and stereotypes without pointing any fingers. Real pathos and connection despite everyone being ruthless. If you can look past the goofy moments if that's not your thing and accept the imperfect, occasionally sloppy script, then the show is delightful and, at moments, poignant.
I was looking forward to this! But nah, I wouldn't watch this regularly at all. They went from Mickey to a woman?! Why? I don't like changing characters. Stay true to the story. Next, the acting is sub par. Except for a couple people, I want exciting, suspense, & drama...that what this should be about. Not boring with not funny jokes. Or just dirty talk and people getting laid. Lol we can watch that anywhere. Give me something good damn it. Or Bette casting.
