From Shondaland comes their entry to the classic courtroom drama. Airing on Tuesday nights, it has not been given a coveted lead-in such as Grey's Anatomy (that honor is going to Station 19). The show follows the age old formula for this genre, and has the noticeable Shonda influence on the characters and plot. The show is somewhat good, but does suffer from being too in love with itself, and first timers may not enjoy this. If the show can be first about the cases (which is quite hard to do), and second about the characters, it will continue. Otherwise, it will be cancelled just like Shonda's other show, The Catch, which was much better.
