Fairly Legal thoughts?

Fairly Legal is fairly good, it has some ridiculous situations, and plays the race card in a way that felt kind of cheap...

However, it did have a pretty good pace, as everything felt like it was moving along quite swiftly. Solid acting as well, although I’m not sure if that is enough to keep me coming back.

Alright, I have watched two episodes and have decided to continue watching more. This is mostly because I have so much free time... also, Sarah Shahi is really cute.

Episode 3 was pretty good, actually. It had a ridiculous scene that made no sense where she goes into the mens locker-room and starts talking about city codes, sports illustrated and hot-tubs... no idea what was going on with that.

Oh, there was also a whole side storyline with her ex-husband trying to figure out what to get her for her birthday, so he asks her friend who suggests and iPad. It didn't really fit but they made it kind of funny at least... so at least it was entertaining product placement? I guess?

So what do you guys think?
Also: the name of the show kind of sucks...

I was really happy to find this post! I am a huge fan of Fairly Legal and think some of the "ridiculous" situations add to the humor, fun, and character of the show. It also helps that Sarah Shahi is easy on the eyes too! She does make me wonder, however, what situations she is going to get herself into each week. I actually work on behalf of the network, so I can give you all the scoop you need on the show! Are you excited for Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) to guest star in the next episode? I know I can't be his only fan.

Can't wait to hear how you like it CherryBomb! And for everybody else in the US, don't forget to watch the new episode tonight! All I will say is it's going to involve an issue of identity theft. Now that's something I hope never to get myself involved in!

I love Fairly Legal 
it's become one of my favourite shows. I haven't seen anything like it,  I was so sick of these typical lawyer shows, and Fairly Legal has brought a new kind of lawyer, a mediator which is much more interesting! :D  it's light-hearted, funny and even dramatic at times, but it all works perfectly.  And Sarah Shahi is absolutely perfect.

It was originally called 'Facing Kate' and thank god it wasn't! I like Fairly Legal, it's straight to the point. Kate is a mediator who wants fairness, not who's the best lawyer. It deals with a fair way of handling legal issues. (:
