Bad Judge

They should stop producing these shows for the US TV and air it in Europe or somewhere else the ratings would be totally different.

I don't know what it is these days but a lot of great shows get canceled maybe Americans don't get sarcasm or black humor as Europeans do , or simply don't like it, and all those great shows get these ratings and got canceled it makes me just sad because those are great shows and are fun to watch.

So maybe try produce some of these shows just for the European market i would bet on it the ratings would be higher than in the us.

So i wish this show to come back.

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 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 :)

This show is entirely underrated. It's a pretty original story line that contains good humor, it doesn't talk down to the viewer and or play on the same torn up romantic comedy like the new show A to Z. It baffles me that Bad Judge is rated lower than A to Z. I probably wouldn't entirely give it a 9/10, but as the rating is an average, it needs higher ratings, because it better not get canceled after one season. It also has a spectacular underlying theme that the justice system is flawed. It can be very difficult to provide help, (although an entirely different conversation.) It is a nice concept to see a caped (or robed) crusader who doesn't have her life together but doesn't mess around when it comes to work. Who has her own flaws but her secret selflessness and appreciation for the positive points of the law constantly overshadow her fun loving ways.

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!
