The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

She was SO much better as Dani Reese. Her role as Kate Reed is a spoiled, obnoxious, gets a man to do anything she wants by batting her eyes, thinks her looks get her out of anything, and shallow character. OK, she can negotiate well, but that is really her character's only positive attribute.I watched most of season #1 but hate the character so much I have boycotted season #2. Absolutely loved Sarah Sashi's character on "Life", I have seen almost every episode and it had a depth which challenged her acting skills and made me admire her as more than "just another pretty face" that had been plugged into a series. I "Fairly Legal", she has 2 types of scenes, either the "be really cute and adorable" act or the "be angry about not getting your way" act. It makes for a cute but shallow character who is more annoying than interesting.Sarah, I apologize if this seems too harsh. You are just capable of better work than this and deserve better roles.

Exactly as the title states, I want to like this show, I really do. I feel as though the premise has potential and the show itself showed a little potential at first. However, I find that that it has a nearly unwatchable quality about it, while the lead actress is decent, and the supporting cast is as well, they seem to need more direction, and they are working with some extremely over clichéd writing from time to time.Unfortunately, every element of the show seems to suffer from being too much. The plot of each episode tries to cram too much in to one story line which makes every one seem convoluted and adds to the cliché. Each character seems to have defining traits, but the defining traits are overpowering to human traits. The lead character is too good at everything and while I like that she has spunk, there is point where spunk becomes annoying and she crosses over occasionally. The side characters, though most seem to be adequately acted, are either very bland or overbearing and none of them seem terribly original.I wish I could say better things about this show because I like Sarah Shahi and I honestly think she is much better than what this show ended up being.

The show centers around a 25yr old girl (Sarah Shahi) who has given up being a lawyer to be a mediator. Someone who can solve an issue without it going to court.What they are portraying here is a pretentious perky girl running around and solving all problems as if by miracle. Everyone coyly agrees to any logic that she puts forward, and she is like a superhero! The supporting cast is equally underwhelming. There is not a single likable person! When I sit and think, the only good thing about this show is the beauty of San Francisco city.There are so many fantastic shows out there, Dexter, Fringe, House, Big Bang Theory, Homeland and so many many many. This one is a pass..........

This series has lots of energy mostly via its lead Kate (Sarah Shahi) and Leonardo (Baron Vaughn) as a "fairly legal" mediation team. The concept and the character backgrounds is made interesting in the first episode with plenty of room for development.I do like the "affectionate" exchanges between Kate and her former legal "professionals" personified in Kate's brazen disregard for protocol. Kate's character is immediately given speed and license to turn human disputes around whichever which way she can. If the rest of the series lives up to episode one then it'll have my attention.My one reservation is the apparent lack of chemistry between Kate and co-star Justin (Michael Trucco) which is apparent through the kind of characters they play as well as an on screen indifference.Still promising though.
