I can't embed the following so if you have a couple of minutes click the link and check this out.I will say that Voight the head of the intelligence division is a bad ass,over the top at times but his character at least imo is riveting.

I'm not sure my favorite show right now isn't Suits. I have no idea how they keep that damn thing going on such a thin premise, a constant Sword of Damocles hanging over all of them, but they come up with compelling twist after compelling twist. And they do a fantastic job at manipulating highs so that when the lows come they're like icepicks in the back.

Busted through The Fall...was kinda meh, esp. the last few episodes. Gillian Anderson is still smoking and Dornan wasn't bad.
Wife and I are going through The Killing right now, in season 3...love it so far. |

I watched it as a comedy last night as no one actually looked at anything. And aside from the assumption on the gov records Donna stole, nothing was authenticated. It's getting to be just beautiful people passing random documents and Litt being amusing. Almost like Bert Macklin, Private Eye wrote it. |

I never assumed it was even remotely legally accurate. Hell, them all knowing Mike isn't a lawyer and letting him practice anyway seems a bit ludicrous, just thinking logically. But at the end of the day I really couldn't care less about law, so it doesn't phase me all that much. It's basically a primetime soap opera. The interpersonal relationships have always been the hook. At least for me.

Probably ten times as ridiculous for doctor shows. For me, they might as well do the exact same scenes, except the dialog would be like; Here's a piece of paper. Bring me back another different piece in 24 hours. [intervening scenes] Here's another piece of paper. You can't possibly win. [and scene] Last edited by Baby Lee; 03-07-2015 at 06:59 PM.. |

The Good Wife is probably the most legally accurate fictional show in production, probably more accurate than anything since the earliest years of Law and Order with Moriarty and Robinette.
And the storytelling doesn't suffer for it, but is instead enhanced by the verisimilitude. |

Fresh off the boat.
If you can make it past the stupid ass intro and theme music, it's pretty funny |
