Carrie Preston is delightful, all the actors have been great. But the writing and the premise just aren’t working for me. Instead of using her intellect to find amazing loopholes to help people navigate the legal system she’s just being a cop and catching bad guys. And we see the murder in the opening scene of each episode, so we know she’s right, even though the reasons she latches on to the various killers are incredibly flimsy and unsatisfying. She also doesn’t seem to care much about the law or due process which is pretty disappointing for a character that’s actually a disarmingly skillful attorney. I love the character and I really wish they would completely redo the premise of the show to make it more satisfying but it seems like they are all in with this format.
