I am enjoying this show...

I know it's unrealistic and silly but I knew what I was getting into. This show is like comfort food. MW is pretty strong and I am warming up to the supporting cast. I like Benny. I think it's mostly light footed tone works well with the show.

I agree. It grows on you if you give it a chance.

I'm having to deal with suspension of disbelief but I'm liking it too. With each episode I'm warming up to the cast and am really, really enjoying seeing Michael Weatherly have a chance to shine.

The scary thing is it's more realistic than people think.

Yes. But as another person above alluded to, I don't think it is unrealistic to believe that there is a certain amount of psychological manipulation going on trying to win the hearts and minds of juries. HOWEVER, this show does seem to play fast and loose with details of the law/justice system and details of common sense.

Every week I find myself cringing at a detail of law/justice system or detail of common sense that they trample all over...

...but then again, every week I find myself nevertheless being entertained by the show.

I suppose that's one definition of guilty pleasure. It's silly and unrealistic, yet fun to watch. Now that the team's personality is coming through, it's getting more entertaining.
