First of all, I would like to clarify that I am not really a legal drama fanatic yet I ended up watching this series because of one thing, Harry’s Law is being advertised as one legal drama series with a punch of comedy.
After watching the pilot episode, I think the comedy is only slight but the fun is in there. However, more than any of the promised fun I think the show has a good future because the cast are fit for their respective role and the storyline is kinda cool considering the series is a legal drama.
Plus, the cases on this episode (there are two) are really relevant on how Harry and her associates will fit into the neighborhood. Harry Korn is just a very fun character to watch as she battles it all out during trials. She is the serious part of this show and she shows a lot of heart.
Adam Brash, on the other hand, is the “comedy part” as his ways of representing his clients on courthouses are simply fun to watch. Malcolm, the drug addict who was saved by Harry will grow more, I bet, on succeeding episodes as he becomes paralegal at the end of this episode. Lastly, Jenna, I love to see her as Harry’s secretary. Also, aside from being a secretary I think she is the manager of the shoe store. Yes, you read it right. Welcome to Harriet’s Law and Fine Shoes!
Overview:
Harry Korn (Kathy Bates) quits being a patent lawyer to be a defense attorney for a kid, Malcolm Davies (Aml Ameen), with a 3rd drug charge who lands on her after trying to commit suicide; Harry’s aid Jenna Backstrom (Brittany Snow) also runs a shoe store as a side business for them. Adam Brash (Nate Corddry), an up-an-coming trial lawyer, joins Harry’s firm after running her over with his car and defends a street kid – Damian Winslow, who protects the neighborhood – who shot a man trying to rob a drycleaner.
