(Initial Impressions) I really wanted to like this series, I've been a fan of Jimmy Smits for a long time, and the supporting cast is impressive, as well, but, I found Caitlin McGee's performance wasn't convincing. Or, was it the director's failure to guiding us into the emotional conflicts that lie at the heart of this premise. I just didn't buy it. The transitions to family firm and family reconciliation were rushed and Sydney Strait came off as a self-centred, immature brat. Maybe, once the series has some time to breath, the performance, writing and direction will fall into place and we will find the heart of the piece. I give this pilot a 6 (fair) out of 10. {Legal Drama}
