Zero Integrity

[Hitchcoc · 2/10 · 4 June 2022]

Worst lawyer show ever. So unrealistic as to be laughable. The whole gang belongs in jail. Except Jimmy. Too stupid to do anything ant all. It needs to improve or I will only watch one more episode.

Disgusting

The plot line in this is that a man takes his wife to court to force her to have a c-section early in her third trimester because of some phantom thing that will supposedly almost for sure (that's essentially how it's presented) kill the baby if it doesn't come out now. The fact that this is a storyline is gross enough, but most of the lawyers support the father - the couple, who are still happily together, is a friend of several of them. In case this isn't enough, the doctor gives a desperate emotional testimony and then when the judges rule for the mother, screams at them that they're murderers as a result of defending the Constitution. They then cut to the couple IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE with her in stirrups getting examined and *plot twist* he has given her an epidural and sliced her open to pull the child out while they all just stood around. Only the nurse and one lawyer had a problem with this - the dad HUGS THE DOCTOR and they have the mother basically just decide she was happy with a baby and not report it. The whole episode ends with her standing in front of the police station about to go report the psychopath who just mutilated a human being and said he would do it again - then turning and walking away. This is disgusting.
