Perhaps for myself anyway. I just began watching the show this week and so far I'm impressed. What the show does best is depict lawyers as human beings, which does not happen often in television/film. Jerry is the warm hearted, good intentioned defense attorney who cares for all his clients and the rich guy -- his name escapes me right now -- also plays the same role. Of course this has to be balanced by the cold hearted prosecutors who want maximum penalties and justice, though they do reveal their humanity on certain occasions.

Also, the casting is top notch. My opinion of the show may be a bit biased because I was a Saved by the Bell viewer during my childhood and it's good to see Mark Paul succeeding. I'm not sure if this is the role that will take him over the top, but he does a commendable job. Also, Judge Trudy Kessler played by the mother from Malcolm in the Middle is a great character and someone who has definitely grown on me over the first few episodes.

I hope this show is a success for TNT. Between this and Saving Grace, I think TNT has some winners on their hands and I hope they recognize that.
