    Interesteg What makes it different from others?
    LouHomey From my favorite movies..
    Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
    Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
    michaeljtrubic Not just a new look on legal dramas but a new look on comedy dramas.Many shows that deal with subject matters like these are slow and down trodden - this is light , sharp witted, and very amusing.This comes from the mind of someone who is not burdened with the methods similar shows have used in the past.Brilliantly creative.The pilot starts with a bang and I'm hopeful the momentum can continue throughout the season.I'm gonna watch carefully what the creators and producers of this show will do in the future.Very Impressed.
    rcastl2335 As a lighter-than-popcorn time filler on the USA network, the only real reason to watch Fairly Legal is the very charming performance of lead actress Sarah Shahi. Shahi is effervescent, stunningly beautiful and possesses a traffic-stopping figure. In season 2 her character, Kate Reed, has deepened slightly emotionally and Shahi has been able to amp up her intelligent performance as well. Actor Ryan Johnson has been added to the cast in Season 2 as Ben Grogan, a smart alecky law partner and snark counterpart to Shahi. It could be a fruitful and amusing relationship once the writers shake the bugs out. Baron Vaughan, as Kate's assistant Leonardo, is still an annoying presence and could be written out with no appreciable loss to the show. Michael Trucco plays Kate's estranged husband Justin and that relationship also grows wearisome. He's a good actor in the thankless part of whipping boy and deserves a shot in another series. I hope he gets it. The only other reason to tune in is the occasional appearance of Kate's nemesis/stepmother/law partner Lauren Reed, played by Virginia Williams. Reed/Williams is memorable for a joyously eye-catching ability to sashay,saunter and slink while wearing the tightest dresses ever seen on television. If the writers allow Kate to continue her growth while making room for Grogan--and keeps Reed in those dresses, this could be a series that goes for the standard 5 year USA network run. I promise to make time.
    winstonfg Hey, I'm a bloke and I like watching Sarah Shahi in nice outfits; so it should be a cinch, right? Peppy lead, great support, interesting idea … and yet it has the feel of a ship looking for a helm.I want it to work, because I want to see more of Sarah; but if I take my testosterone cap off for a minute, I actually want to see more of the other characters too: Virginia Williams as buttoned-down fulminate Lauren Reed, who pretty much takes over every scene she's in; Baron Vaughn as high-tech geek boy-Friday Leonardo with a yen for the sandwich-lady downstairs; and Michael Trucco, who I don't think the writers have yet decided is the high-flyer ADA he wants to be, or Kate's ping-pong paddle.It's fun, but as yet shallow, and I'd like to see the UXB it could be … not to mention a few more seasons of Sarah in those tight skirts.
    janzst At last a show that's story doesn't revolve around stereo typecasting, fashion and predictable plots! With a hint of "House" and a touch of "Life", Kate Reed has the strength of character, witticism and sexiness most women crave. Realistic, humanly flawed characters and relationships build a web of interaction for those looking for something different. The role of the mediator almost softens the blood thirsty image of the legal profession.Fairly Legal has introduced a new style of heroin that should be applauded with a return series despite criticism for her welcomed "out of the box" approach.
