Focusing on the lives and careers of the brand-new lawyers working for both the defense and the prosecution and handling some of the most high-profile and high-stakes federal cases in the country, "For the People" follows the talented professionals as their lives intersect both in and out of the courtroom.

The relative talents of the cast are squandered in a series of melodramatic legal standoffs. Go to Full Review Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups 06/19/2019
A sharp, fast, shiny, smart procedural show...it's also a soapy drama about bedroom politics. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/22/2019 I just finished this season and there are tears pouring down my face. This show does such a marvellous job of crafting character arcs and journey's that the nuances shine. Cannot wait until season 3, thank you. See more 05/03/2019 I love this show so much! Shondaland at its finest. Nothing is black or white - everything lives in the gray and it really makes you think about the world. The acting is excellent. I just wish it was a full season instead of just 10 episodes! See more 04/05/2019 Love the show. Season 2 is amazing See more Read all reviews
