Critic Reviews for Fairly Legal Season 2
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (4)
Good-natured, sometimes almost breezy USA hit.
I'm really not sure what I think of "Fairly Legal." I know this - star Sarah Shahi is easily the best thing about it. I know this too - the writing isn't so good. Shahi is beautiful and charming but the scripts for "Legal" are often cliched and forced.
It's only, well, fair.
This is a case of a show just not working on both a structural and emotional level.
I can't say I loved this premiere but it certainly made me optimistic for the rest of the season.
There is a gold mine of emotions and layers for the writers to explore with those characters and we look forward to seeing where it goes.
The banter is forced and precious, and the premise of the show remains rather fuzzy.
