Easily the best written law show on television right now. Season 2 trumps Season 1. The conflicts deepen, the characters settle into their roles, the plots are engaging.
Michael J. Fox is great. I love how they bring these characters back. Whether it's Denis O'Hare as a judge or Dallas Roberts as Alicia's gay brother or Titus Welliver as outgoing D.A. Glenn Childs, the caliber of acting is first rate.
I didn't like how easily Michael Ealy left the firm though. That was a conflict that held a promise of a much bigger bang than what we got. The fight should've been much bigger. The showdown ended with a whimper.
Kalinda is such a deeply drawn character. Archie Panjabi steals every scene she's in. The way she broke down in the elevator after Alicia eviscerates her was great. It's shocking because we've never seen that character out of control before. Even when she demolishes Scott Porter's car, she's in complete control.
Chris Noth does an excellent job. It's easy to believe this is a man of power.
It's too bad the third season has started off so poorly.
