Allen Braddock is a high-profile, elitist lawyer who was recently fired from his family's firm and plans to get back in the game by using loopholes and questionable tactics. Conversely, ethical, for-the-people attorney Marcus Jackson -- recently divorced -- runs his practice at home, taking pro bono cases for friends and neighbors. A court order intended to have Marcus' mores affect Allen prompts an odd partnership. The two struggle to learn from each other so that both have something neither has had before: a law firm that's honorable and profitable.

Partners is bad even by most lawyer-joke standards, and the writing's falseness and laziness carries over to the performances. Go to Full Review Michael Starr New York Post 08/05/2014
The standard-sitcom format of Partners, with its forced laugh track and cookie-cutter supporting players makes it difficult to really invest too much time in the Partners premise. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 08/05/2014
Watching these two comedy veterans trying to keep such a leaky, woefully flat vehicle afloat is more depressing than nostalgic. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 08/06/2014
2/5
The problem is primarily in the pacing, which is so go-go-go! that it leaves little time to let a joke land. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 08/05/2014
1/10
Partners is a putrid, lazy swamp of a series. Even for those of you who are no longer (or never have been) a fan of the multi-camera traditional sitcom format, this is a new level of terrible. Go to Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald 08/05/2014
