Something's off this season. The drama isn't as heightened as the past two seasons. Maybe it's because Alicia isn't torn any longer over what to do about her husband.
The cases aren't interesting. The partners aren't worried about their firm going under. Kalinda's conflict with Scott Porter is gone. Without any of this, the series is actually boring this season.
There's no dramatic bang to be found.
This episode's about a libel suit against an author of a book that detailed a treacherous climb up a mountain. Big whoop. And the legal twist here is that the firm has to try the case twice. Once under U.S. rules and then again under British rules since the book was sold in England. That's a case that doesn't grab me at all.
It's a shame. The first two seasons were about as good as you can get on network tv. The spark is gone from the series.
