A look inside the chaotic, hopeful and sometimes absurd lives of judges, prosecutors and public defenders as they work with bailiffs, clerks and cops to get justice for the people of Los Angeles amidst a flawed legal process. Among them is newly appointed Judge Lola Carmichael, a highly regarded and impressive deputy district attorney who doesn't intend to sit back on the bench in her new role, but instead leans in, immediately pushing the boundaries and challenging the expectations of what a judge can be.

B
The performances help bring some zest to the courtroom, thanks to snappy dialogue and an active camera capturing a vivid cast. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 09/24/2019
If "All Rise" can continue to sidestep the most tired tropes for more novel approaches like this, it will find a place on TV all its own. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 09/24/2019
At least All Rise is borrowing from the best. My standard with new network procedurals is, "Can I remember any of the weekly stories a day after watching the episode?" and with this one, I actually can. A little. Go to Full Review Kristi Turnquist Oregonian 11/07/2019
It's a bit much, but Missick is enjoyable, and the show seems to be trying for a tone similar to "The Good Wife," a laudable goal. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 10/08/2019
2/5
Earnest courtroom melodrama has good intentions, violence. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 09/25/2019
Ultimately, it's not for me, but I would not object to the older CBS demographic watching a serviceable legal drama in which not every lawyer and judge is white, and not every defendant is a person of color. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

DESTINY A @DIAMONDAKAFYA Feb 14 A VERY GOOD TV SERIES See more Andy S 05/18/2024 The stupid pronouns stop it See more Joanne S 10/04/2023 So sad how they cancel great shows like this one when there are so many new questionable shows that should not go to air. See more Jason H 02/22/2023 Best court show on TV See more 08/12/2022 I actually liked the show when it first came out. It showed a judge with strong moral character. The show now have a different appeal. It's a soap opera with all the drama and poor moral character. I will not continue to watch it. See more 07/24/2021 This was a show that if you wanted to put something political you finally had a place to put it. Plus I like the characters that they had. It was actually an entertaining show and I was very upset to see if they took it off See more Read all reviews
