A Man. And His Blog.

It was a season finale I don’t really care about. One of the team is accused of murder, a creepy and ridiculous second case, some romance, some humor, some plot holes and the rest, which defines FRANKLIN & BASH. No cliffhanger, no sense of an ongoing story, and no thrill. This was just a usual episode without anything special in it.

So, the writers used those two scenes from the last episode involving Infeld (Malcolm McDowell) and the guy found dead on Mt. McKinley for this episode. I don’t mind when one of the guys is charged for being a murderer, but why was this episode so ridiculous near the end? Both Peter (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Jared (Breckin Meyer) got one problem after another, there was one bad thing for Infeld after another, but at the end they just have a field trip to the morgue, and the case is won? Just because the coroner said that the whole expedition team could have been killed, when Hawk would have wandered off with the oxygen? Sorry, but that was ludicrous. Especially the trip to the morgue. That was nothing else but a stunt from the two – they just needed to get the coroner into court, and good was everything. But no, they had to make a field trip. Sorry, but I believe in no way the writers were thinking about their stories before writing them. Another example: Infeld was beating up Hawk three days prior to the incident, and he emptied Hawk’s bank account three days after the incident. Both times Infeld had an excuse, which reminded me of the friendship between Steve and Jeff in COUPLING. That doesn’t mean I was buying it though. Since it was obvious from the beginning that Jared and Peter would win it for Infeld, I didn’t even care about Infeld’s arrest three days earlier and the thing with the bank account later. Even less I cared about what Infeld did in jail. Or what Brett (Tricia Helfer) had to do with the story, and why she decided to get Infeld out of the way. Brett could have been more of a kick-ass character, but instead she looked like the sexy evil witch with one underwear scene, but no outcome for her. She was just there, and left again…

The second case was completely boring. First, the whole thing involving Ultimo (Danny Trejo) was really ridiculous and I couldn’t get any of it. It only brought me the little flirtations between Jared and Amilia (Floriana Lima), but that was it. I don’t even count Danny Trejo’s cameo here. And the thing with the copyright law… Was nobody thinking about that earlier? I mean, when I have a case about a ludicrous fighter with a mask getting it on with the league about his mask, and how he is seen as property of the league, I would have looked t the copyright angle from the beginning. I don’t know if that seems logical for just me only, or if the writers thought they had a great idea with this plot.

FRANKLIN & BASH was a nice summer series, but when the writers don’t take their work seriously, they have to expect those harsh words. That show was shit. I rather continue watching SUITS. See you then. 5/10

Looketh here: Someone is in prison!

Ugly masks are ugly

I would have written something nice about this episode, but I think I found a major plot hole, which kills the fun I had during the 41 minutes. Other than that, it was an actually solid piece of entertainment. Either I watched oo much shit throughout the last days, or this was actually the first somewhat good episode of the series. Despite the plot hole.

So, Nathan (James Van Der Beek) said he was booked because he banged a hooker, and mentions in a clause that the hotel room was on fire. I wonder: Since Nathan didn’t sleep with the hooker, why was the hooker not able to identify the guy she slept with, especially when the fire broke out? Yeah, Peter (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) thinks that the hooker couldn’t have seen the face of the guy she bangs (that alone is a big WTF) in the dark with just one candle (or so) burning, but what was happening when the room was on fire? Was she still not able to see him? Next thing: How was Nathan booked because of the fire, when he was at the pool area with Lauren (Teresa Castillo) at that time? Yeah, he could have been blamed by the friend, who was actually banging the hooker, but I wonder how there can be so many inconsistencies throughout the plot. But it was good for one thing: It let me realize that the writers have one tiny little ongoing story arc to show for the series in the first season. It’s still all about Peter and Janie (Claire Coffee), their past, and how Peter thinks about the new guy in Janie’s life (other WTF: He hasn’t met him before this episode?), and there might be some hope that the writers will continue the romance battle between Peter and Janie in the second season, but only because the writers are in the need of an ongoing storyline.

The story with Emily (Alexandra Breckenridge) was alright. I kinda wondered why she wasn’t named Vivian here, or why she didn’t mention to be from San Diego, because everything else was fitting. I just didn’t like how easily Jared (Breckin Meyer) handled the situation, and how the twist of the second student came directly at the midpoint of the episode. It was almost destined to be exactly at the midpoint of the episode, just to make things harder for Jared. I wasn’t satisfied with the end though. Jared was basically playing his name in front of the school board, instead of fighting for Emily – a definite cop-out.

All in all, the Beek could save this episode a bit, but other than that I will be quite happy after the next episode. This show is done after that. 6/10

This fiancé and this ex-boyfriends aren't really buddies

This teacher didn't have sex with this attorney

There we have it again, and this time more gruesome than ever: FRANKLIN & BASH is not a good show, never makes anything of the stories, is always pretty much over the top, and tries to be funny every time, even though the character arcs are not good enough to be funny. This seems to be the worst episode of the series so far, because I didn’t like every single arc of the episode.

It begins with Jared (Breckin Meyer) and Peter (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) getting house arrest, because they wanted to be funny and have fun while playing with laser swords. The two having house arrest and making their cases from their house, together with Pindar (Kumail Nanjiani) and Carmen (Dana Davis), could have been a great idea, but the writers didn’t even use that little story. Instead, Carmen gets a different story, Pindar is pretty much invisible until the fourth act, and the only thing the writers made of the house arrest story is letting Lily (Anabella Casanova) stay there, having sex with Peter, and getting her in trouble, because she has weed in her backpack. Followed by having more weed in her backpack. I don’t even know how the writers were getting those ideas – one ridiculous idea after another, and they all looked like deus ex machinas to make it even harder for all the characters, and to make the case around Lily an actual case, instead of … nothing.

In addition, the whole deal around Carmen was completely ridiculous. I have nothing against her having the first storyline in this show ever, but why did it have to be so unbelievable? Beginning with the fact that the writers gave no reasons of letting me believe she is on parole, and that she’s madly in love with Dante (Leonard Roberts). The episode even went so far to deliver Pindar as a “lawyer” in this case, arguing for the craziness of affection in the sex life between Carmen and Dante. Is Pindar actually a lawyer, or why was he in court defending Carmen? But it went from bad to even worse, when Pindar realized he ate Lily’s hash cookies, and was high all of a sudden. In court. Arguing Carmen’s sex life. Seriously? We already had Franklin drunk once before, and the writers didn’t come up with anything else for the fake lawyer? Really? That’s bad writing. Especially since no one noticed that Pindar was acting extremely strange in court, but could hold it all together. Then the next deus ex machina: Dante comes in, and is ready to make a deal with the judge. Followed by the next deus ex machina: The money is in the briefcase. Summing up, this was one of the worst storylines I have seen in recent TV years. Really bad.

Well, to make things worse again, I totally hated Lily’s arc. She partied with Jared and Peter on house arrest, the cops come, find her weed. Bla bla. Half an hour later the cops find more weed in her backpack. How many deus ex machinas did the writers use here to develop the story? At least the episode brought the two hip bro-lawyers into the background of everything and let Damien (Reed Diamond) handle the case against Lily. At least there wasn’t a happy end of some sorts, even though I was facepalming the episode, after she got away with “only” having to leave the States and never come back. That were three pounds of weeds, that’s normally jail time. But obviously not for the writers here.

Well, the only thing I liked about the episode was Marla (Alexandra Ella). I would hope to see her again in the next two episodes. The last two episodes for me, because I’m cancelling this show after the season finale. 2.5/10

Star Wars audition in court. But who cares?

Carmen gets arrested. But who cares?

The episode was alright. It showed that the writers don’t care about the logic of the legal genre at al and instead focus on delivering the punch lines of the story. Which was successfully done this time. I felt like I was smiling every five or so minutes. Which seems to be a win especially for this series.

The story with Amber (Jud Tylor) and Simone (Marisa Petroro) was really laughable though. First it seemed interesting that Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) had to defend two women, who could be opposed to each other as well; then the twist of splitting up the two women came, which brought the writers to include a little bit of the episode’s title into the story. It seemed cool, but it was a complete miss in all the court scenes. How am I supposed to believe that Franklin and Bash were both the defenders for the women, but behaved like Janie (Claire Coffee) wasn’t even in the room as the D.A., who was prosecuting the women. Seriously, when Franklin and Bash were battling it out in court, trying to beat the other, Janie had no scene, didn’t interview the witness, and the story was all of a sudden … somewhere else, but not in the legal genre. Yeah, that was really stupid. But on the funny level, it worked. The women were entertaining, how they were guilty of separating Franklin and Bash was cool after all, and how they were backstabbing each other in court was actually funny. The locked briefcase, the chair, or just Franklin’s “Objection … betrayal?”. And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but when Bash was hitting on the complete jury stand, I thought I was finding the most funny scene in the series so far. I didn’t laugh out, but it was really amusing. Now, if the stories would turn out to be logical…

Hanna’s (Garcelle Beauvais) and Damien’s (Reed Diamond) case was okay. Alex (Uriah Shelton) was a witty kid, and I loved his flirtatious moments with Hanna and how Damien felt attacked by a little teen. Unfortunately that was the only thing about the story I liked, because I could smell the final twist of Alex’s trouble a mile away. Of course his father (Mark L. Taylor) wouldn’t let him go, because Alex was too much “needed” at home. There was no surprise in the story, and there was no real message behind it either. Only Alex flirting, and the fact that the writers were just building on a romance between Hanna and Damien made these ten or so minutes worthy of my time.

Well, seems like I will finish at least the season of FRANKLIN & BASH. And since I know myself well, I see myself already watching the second season. Somehow this show is entertaining, though ridiculous, and I can’t turn away. But that can’t just be because of its entertainment? 6/10

Two strippers, joint in the joint

One kid, champion in MILF flirting

Yeah, not really an episode I liked. I think I can finally close the show for good, because there doesn’t seem to be any good coming out of it. The stories are ridiculous, the legal genre never shines through, and I never believe that the writers go into the story with all its full potential. Plus: There’s absolutely no sign of an ongoing storyline, even within the law firm.

And the case involving Carter (Jason Alexander) was actually interesting during minute 20, when it was revealed he wasn’t dying after all, and all his litigating actions were for nothing. Well, at least not in the first half, when both Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) didn’t know how crazed Carter really was. The “twist” was a nice way of getting into the story, eventually having a case based on false medical information. But instead the writers made something horrendous out of it: a personal fight between Carter and Stills (Patrick Fischler), just between Stills was about to get Carter’s job. Very lame. Likewise were the last bits of the case, when Carter was actually trying to blackmail his lawyers, and they returned the blackmailing in favor against Carter in court in front of the jury. Totally lame. And so not funny. I was even thinking about the tanked case in HARRY’S LAW and Harriet being disbarred because of it. I have to say that Kelley made a much more logical story out of it, and the FRANKLIN & BASH writers didn’t even make a story about it for two seconds. Super lame.

At least Pindar’s (Kumail Nanjiani) story was a bit amusing, but only because I think that Abha (Sarayu Rao) was genius. I loved her in her couple of stints in SONS OF TUCSON (and I believe I was the only one on this planet), and even though Damien’s (Reed Diamond) plans of getting her company to the law firm were fake as hell, and the whole story was pushing for the humor, I’ll take anything with Pindar in it, because we finally have a series, which takes its rest of the main cast and puts them in separate storylines. How tiring would it be to always see those two bro-lawyers all the time? Now I only wish for Pindar getting some serious storylines, but since he isn’t even really involved in all the legal business (seriously, Damien and Hanna [Garcelle Beauvais] only took him, because they knew him from Franklin and Bash), I don’t even start to think that it might happen some time.

The toenail art was disgusting by the way, and please give Alexandra Holden more screentime. Though she got a stereotypical story for a secretary, at least it was something. Other than that, I don’t know if I should give this show a very last chance, or cancel it for RIZZOLI & ISLES. 4/10

Yes, it's a naked guy in a blanket

No, it's not a hidden camera

Well, it seems like the high times of the show are finally over, and I’m able to cancel it now. This episode was totally ridiculous, messed up the drama part, was predictable as hell, and such a damn big cliché, I couldn’t stop vomiting.

Seriously, who gets the idea of a court case about a baseball? And which fictional TV judge is actually taking this case so damn serious? I for one would have dismissed the case because of idiocy, no matter if the prosecution would return with the whole estate deal later. But I really can’t understand why this case was taken so seriously in this episode, especially since it was a little lawyer duel between Jared (Breckin Meyer) and his father Leonard (Beau Bridges). I don’t mind when the series is introducing family members, but I don’t like the way it was written here: Jared hates his father, because of his … “serious” childhood. Or just because his father pressed him to be better than anyone else. Those kind of personal storylines in those kind of shows are big clichés, and I still don’t like them, and would still wish they disappear forever. Even the “happy end” between father and son was totally lame, because I smelled it from the first second Leonard was on screen. And talking about the baseball case being ludicrous… Well, I don’t really want to sit all day here, but I have to say that the ending was the definition of a deus ex machina. All of a sudden, Duncan (Robert Pine) has written a letter and put it in his little death box. Without authenticating it, and with everybody believing that Duncan has written it. And with Eileen (Nicole Steinwedell) not noticing the letter, when she put the ball in there. I was really laughing about the way the writers chose to let Jared win this case.

The other story was at least better. Here’ s another satire of all those reality shows out there, and this time the casting directors did a good job with casting Tom Arnold for the role. First: He needs his own show, but not a sitcom. Second: His story should have been the frontrunner here. And I actually liked how Hanna (Garcelle Beauvais) “stepped down” to the Franklin-and-Bash-level and actually won this case, because she proved to be kick-ass in court. Even though nobody noticed. But I would have wished for Ronny getting more attention, when it came to his character. It was almost like he loved his kids and hated his reality job – not enough for my taste.

And the third story? Well, I feel that the writers force themselves to give Pindar (Kumail Nanjiani) a story. I still wonder why he is a major character, when he literally has nothing to do, and I wonder why even Damien (Reed Diamond) has nothing to do anymore. I barely saw him in court winning cases, and now he is pissed and angered, just because his video of masturbation lands on the firm server, and will eventually be forwarded? Yeah, that was the comedy bit, and I laughed when Rebecca (Caroline Aaron) wondered at the end, if he was thinking about her. But the story was as ridiculous as the baseball thing. 4.5/10

The usual question: "What? I lost ten pounds?"

The usual question: "What are you doing in my show?"

It was kinda an average episode, which didn’t have the feel of the two last episodes. If I wouldn’t have any trust in the show, I would cancel it directly after this episode, but since the last two episodes were actually good, I’ll give the show another chance, just to see if this one was just a downer.

All the stories were not interesting, and as hard as the writers were pushing for the comedy, the episode was still awkward and at some points even miserable. I just can’t understand why the writers won’t try for a dramatic storyline or let the buddies lose a case for a change. The whole scenery, trying to prove that Danny (Michael Weaver) might not have been intoxicated during his 8 mph drive, was just idiotic, and everything that followed this scene. Yeah, it is supposed to be funny, when Franklin (Breckin Meyer) suddenly starts to down a couple of beers in court to get drunk for the argument, but I just hated how he was holding his closing argument. I don’t even understand how it can be realistic, even for FRANKLIN & BASH terms. Did I just learn here that the writers don’t take this show serious at all, when they’ve had Franklin literally drunk in court, holding the closing argument, where he literally said stupid shit? I don’t even know what to think of it.

Unfortunately, Danny’s case was the main arc, and the rather interesting part about the divorce only gets a few minute of screentime – which were unfortunately totally worthless too. The story had an interesting twist with that Allison (Jacqueline Obradors) woman, who totally was making out with both Maya (Rhea Seehorn) and Rick (Harry Hamlin). Which is kinda funny, but which is a good story device as well, because it was pushing the story into a different direction. But the writers didn’t even consider this, when they suddenly dropped Allison again. And then both Maya and Rick were on a same level at the end, and the story had a happy ending. Again, this was not worth my time.

At least the supporting (major) characters got a bit of screentime. I was smiling about Nanette and how she affected Pirmar (Kumail Nanjiani), and I laughed a bit, when she was revealed as a prostitute. Just the fact that Pirmar seemed to have a crush on Nanette seemed ridiculous – again, the writers pushed for the funny, but it didn’t work, because it felt way too forced. And I don’t laugh about force.

All in all, not really an episode I liked. I wonder, because it was the second episode written by the creators – I don’t want to talk trash about Kevin Falls, who, after all, created with JOURNEYMAN one of my favourites, but why were the previous two episodes better and the two he has written with his writing partner were kinda shitty? A dislike I have: IMDb not updating their pages, even a week after the episode aired. That’s fucking lame. Give me the job, I’ll do it. 4.5/10

Bash is gonna be the new rock star

A drunk lawyer: a super joke (not)

I can’t believe it. I rather don’t want to believe it, but I’m starting to like this show. Maybe it was a subtile thing that the main case of the episode was about Jennifer (Jillian Bell) being “too beautiful” for her job, and that the minor arc was about her likeness and how she affected the people around her. Because as she was affecting people around her, the episode was affecting me, and FRANKLIN & BASH got another episode to prove that this show might be more than the package is telling.

The case Jennifer vs. Katherine (Rebecca McFarland) was interesting. It started awkward and hilarious, when Jennifer was indeed either way too delusional or way too self-confident, it had a nice middle part, when Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) realized they could win this case, and it had a hilarious court scene with Bash kissing Jennifer and making me laugh, because it was such a bold move – if I would have seen it in court during a real case. But it showed me that the writers don’t really want to handle with the legal jargon of the genre and instead just deliver one light scene after another, with one more gag in them after another. No drama at all, no suspense, and no hope of getting some development for the characters and see them lose a case. I rather think FRANKLIN & BASH is a TV show of how the lawyers are finding their way of winning the case. Don’t think about losing, it destroys the mood, they will always win. That’s what I mean with predictability and no suspense in the episodes: When Damien (Reed Diamond) and Franklin/Bash were betting their office for a guitar, I already knew they would get Damien’s guitar, and Damien would have another moment, where he could kick himself in the ass, because he still doesn’t believe that the two newbies are good enough to be in the firm. I just hope that the writers are doing something with him after this episode – he clearly saw that the two buddies are able to win even tricky cases.

On the other hand, it was nice and subtle that the case was not about jealousy from Katherine, because she didn’t get love from Big Mack (Robin Thomas). The whole last court scene was about it, but the writers never mentioned that fact. I find that nice. Only the B story was not nice – it was kinda boring. I can understand why Franklin and Bash wanted to help out Gene (Leonardo Nam), but I don’t understand what Infeld (Malcolm McDowell) had to do with the whole thing. He found out that his two new lawyers bring the firm’s name in a negative light, because they actually were in a negative light in Chinatown. But here I ask myself how they could be in a negative light. Even more I ask myself why he chose to take the case and take Damien with him. That didn’t feel like it had sense and meaning.

The episode was good. It looks like I’m gonna watch the whole season. I never would have thought that after the pilot. Now I just want some kind of character moment in the show. 7.5/10

Iiih, Bash is making out in court!!!??!??!?

Happy end coming for the Asian couple

As expected, the second episode was better than the pilot, which is not hard to pull off. This time there was only one court case; this time there was a bit more focus on the characters; this time the humor was working better; this time I’ve had actually fun watching the episode.

Well, the case of the week couldn’t have been more predictable and a cliché. Though I always love of a story with a black widow, who supposedly had killed her rich old husband, and stars as the grieving wife in front of an audience, I’m always up for it. There was a similar case on LIE TO ME with Melissa George as the “black widow”, and I have to say the LIE TO ME writers did a better job than the writers of this show. Unfortunately for this episode, the case didn’t stick with our main characters. Not even after the writers split them up and it was only Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), who was working as a third chair in the case.I don’t know if it’s a writers’ mistake to separate the title characters in the second episode already, despite Franklin (Breckin Meyer) working on the jurors in the background, and eventually turn around the whole bidding thing.

The episode had a few nice moments. First off, Isabella’s (Natalie Zea) cleavage. Sometimes I found myself wondering how the jury or anybody else could see more in Isabella than just a black widow. It was nearly impossible to do that, which is why this whole thing was just a cliché. Instead of bringing some suspense into the case and let Isabella shine as the grieving widow, instead as the grieving widow in black, who is not able to shed a tear for her dead husband. And it would have made the episode a lot better, when the writers would have neglected the predictability, and went with a bit more seriousness into the episode. But hey, I said the humor was working this time, and Natalie definitely looked hot.

Now the writers have another problem: not making Reed Diamond‘s character an idiot, and bringing all the recurring characters into play and not making it a Malcolm McDowell show. Sometimes I’ve had the feeling that the old guy had a few scenes too many. Other than that the show got another reprieve from me. 6.5/10

Cleavage. Cleavage. Cleavage.

"Where's the hooker elevator?"

I don’t expect anything from light legal dramas on basic cable networks anymore. And if you know me you’ll know I have my difficulties with light legal dramas. I only like THE GOOD WIFE, because it’s not a light series, and instead challenges me every episode. I only hated RAISING THE BAR for the two or three episodes I’ve watched, because there were too many characters and no focus on the stories. I hated THE DEEP END for the same reason, though the cast looked slightly better (I only say Tina Majorino). So, I didn’t expect to like FRANKLIN & BASH. It’s with Breckin Meyer and the most unattractive TV lawyer in basic cable history, Mark-Paul Gosselaar. It airs on TNT, a cable network, which is becoming more light with every new television series. And at the end of the first 43 minutes, all my expectations were fulfilled: FRANKLIN & BASH is nothing but a light series with a few characters too many and no focus on the legal storylines. And definitely some over-the-top lightness within the characters’ personalization. So, nothing new in the legal drama business, and another only average series on the market, forgotten after a couple of episodes, and probably cancelled after two seasons. An apprentice piece for all the involved.

Not that I hated the pilot, but it was completely forgettable. It was interesting for about two seconds, then it went from a TNT show to a legal drama without any new ideas and surprises – and the promo poster told me something about “justice with a twist”. Well, I didn’t see any twist, because anything I saw in the pilot, I saw in numerous other TV shows. The two heroes of the show, Jared Franklin and Steven Bash, are clichéd character, who take life a bit too easy, always have fun in their job, and think that no legal case is too hard to win for them. Just take the “bigger” case about the prostitute in here. First it looked like an easy win for Bash, then the “twist” about the prostitute’s boyfriend came, and at the end there was the question, if the case can be won. But like in every other lightweight legal drama, the good guys win the fight, and the viewers forget all about the case just minutes after the episode is over. Where is the surprise, dear writers? Where is the twist you were putting on the promotional poster, dear marketing division? Where was the reason to watch another episode of this mediocre and unimportant show on an about-to-become unimportant basic cable network? Is TNT really becoming the next USA with this show? Well, the answers lies in the success of their science-fiction show FALLING SKIES.

I didn’t like Mark-Paul Gosselaar in RAISING THE BAR. This time, his character seems more charming, which didn’t make me hate him this time. But now I’m starting to hate Breckin Meyer. Not that I’ve seen much with him in a role (I only remember ROAD TRIP), but his character was mostly over the top in his behavior, and the acting wasn’t much better. The script didn’t give him anything to work with, instead it wanted to tell us, this is a light drama. A comedic legal drama. Every single second the script told me that. Somewhere after ten minutes I was screaming “Okay, I get it. Move on!” to the screen, but nothing came. As if FRANKLIN & BASH is too light for my taste. FAIRLY LEGAL had at least Sarah Shahi in it, and she was able to do something with her character, but Meyer and Gosselaar stand with empty hands in the series, with nothing to do except having one dialog scene after another – and those didn’t even tell me anything about the characters themselves.

Which brings me to a complete different problem: This pilot was not a pilot in my opinion. It didn’t introduce me as a viewer to anything. The only thing which was introduced was the new colleagues for Franklin and Bash, because they started to work for a new law firm. No meaningful storylines were started (I didn’t count the tiny romance between Bash and his probably-new lawyer girlfriend Janie Ross [Claire Coffee], who is, of course, engaged to another man), no interesting message was given, but everything had to be played with humor. At least the latter part worked for ten minutes, when the model was taking off her blouse in the courtroom, distracting everybody (but to be honest: That was another completely over-the-top scene, which didn’t feel authentic to the genre). But the rest of the supposed-to-be-funny scenes didn’t work for me at all. They already annoyed me during the six episodes of THE DEEP END I’ve watched last year.

So, what did FRANKLIN & BASH bring me at the end? To be honest, absolutely nothing. There’s no special treatment of anything in the show, the characters are not new, their actions are true to the series, and therefore not interesting for the viewers, the writers didn’t bring the stories into the center of attention, and the style of the episode reminded me that this is a basic cable show: fast-cut scenes with a fast-cut soundtrack, and no time to think about what actually happened in the episode. No thanks, I rather try FAIRLY LEGAL again. 4/10

Of course Malcolm McDowell had to take this role

Where's the funny part in this screencap?
