Critics

Audience

Two high-priced civil litigators lead a lively Boston law firm, balancing challenging cases with complicated personal lives. The series blends courtroom drama, sharp comedy, topical issues, and the evolving friendship between two very different attorneys.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want witty courtroom stories, eccentric attorneys, topical debates, and strong character relationships; Not for you if heavy political commentary or dated sexual humor becomes distracting.
