where's the credit for David Shore

[A_Different_Drummer · 8/10 · 1 February 2015]

There are icons in the TV biz.

Joss Whedon, to name one. His writing with Buffy/Angel has actually been taught in film school as changing the very nature and duration of the story arc. And that was 20 years BEFORE he rescued the Marvel archive like one of their own superheros.

And then there is David Shore. He took what used to be the standard boiler plate medical drama, with antecedents back to Dr. Kildare and The Defenders, and flipped it, reversed it, made it about the people. And made it very very very cynical. "Everyone lies," became a catchphrase.

I disagree with the earlier IMDb reviewer. I see what this series is doing, trying to re-imagine the lawyer arc a la David Shore, and I like it. It does make the story more interesting.

This episode connects because the viewer is as interested in whether the client is telling the truth as in whether the client wins, All that is missing is the honorary credit for David Shore.

A Fine Line

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 14 July 2023]

Michael's cred is at risk almost every day. Louis suspects he never went to Harvard and sets traps. He's just a nasty guy who moves up on the backs of others. That said, he is a great character. Michael wins the Harvard Bowl and the reward is his own pro-bono case, which involves a guy who can't live in his apartment anymore because of bedbugs. This reveals some underhanded real estate dealings with condo development. Michael has to find a way to prove this is going on. There are some fun scenes where he and Rachel pretend to be a young married couple, in order to expose some bad doing in the real estate business. I had never seen Megan Markel in anything before. She's a pretty good actress.

Strickly for the females.....Look at the chart.... go figure.... Love was in the air for her ex....this should have been an episode on Lifetime.... The writers had better stick to the John Grisham themes or they'll be replaced very quickly... the early episodes were entertaining although his savant memory would be unbelievable if I didn't know my wife can quote me word-for-word of any conversation she's ever had with anyone, especially 'me'.. I like the show since they don't resolve the trial while walking down the hallway, like the ones that are being telecast on today's cookie cutter TV shows... one or two more of these 'romantic' themes and the show will be strictly for the ladies... What's with all this 'shouting in the summary'? is this being overseen by a recent divorcée? I'm afraid to capitalize !
