I Like It..... Anyone Else?


Honestly, I like this show. I like the team overall - they seem to work well together. I want to see future episodes to watch the actors and character have a chance to gel even more.

The Anthony DiNozzo character was stating to grow very thin for me. The writers had 15(?) seasons to change the character but they really never let it happen. He was never going to be the "star" of that show. This new show gives Weatherly a chance to play a different character and spread his wings, for once.

Anyone else?


That's what we need - ridiculous odds, and just a speck of hope that someday, we'll beat it

I like Michael Weatherly and his acting and wanted to enjoy this show, but I honestly don't. I don't care for the supporting cast at all, and in general find it unappealing in terms of the concept of jury manipulation/analysis. That latter point might be mitigated if all of the clients were innocent, but that would grow old pretty fast in a TV show, and to perform tasks knowing that the client was guilty to be able to get him/her off kind of makes my stomach turn. I think the show will be a "hit" but possible because NCIS is the lead-in. I wish him well.

No, it is a poorly constructed show.

I too like Michael Weatherly but seems to me that the premise of the show is kind of shaky(?). That said, I'll continue to watch and hope for the best.

I find it fascinating. It's amazing how people can be manipulated. And, as the defendants have been innocent so far, I find what he's done for them admirable.

I definitely like it. I think the supporting cast is and will be even more interesting. I've enjoyed it very much. People complain that all the CBS shows are a "formula" and this is to some extent, but it's also a different take on trials and "lawyer" shows and I think MW is doing a nice job with the character.

I will be truthful and say I never watched many episodes of NCIS, but when I did catch an episode here/there, it seemed the writers made his character kind of "goofy" and I always thought Weatherly was an underrated actor and deserved a chance to show a "different character" - something he could show his acting chops and his charm. He is really embracing this character of Dr. Jason Bull (which the show is loosely based on Dr. Phil McGraw) - so far I REALLY LIKE the show a lot and I think the whole cast fits in perfectly, whoever did the casting did a wonderful job. I think everyone should give this show a chance and if you are a fan of Michael Weatherly, as I am; you will NOT be disappointed. He brings it!

I like the show and Michael, but it seems that Michael is again a supporting actor. The defense lawyer is getting more time.

I do.
