Series has lost its way. The situations are no longer compelling and the cases aren't involving. This episode focuses on a death row inmate who knows the identity of a murderer. Lockhart Gardner desperately need the identity in order to free their client. The inmate is scheduled to be executed in so many hours so it's a race against time to get him to divulge the name of the killer.
There was a similar idea last season about a rape victim who's thinking about taking her case to another law firm. The team at Lockhart Gardner has to race against time in order to uncover what went down. That episode was expertly written. The tension grew and the situation become more complicated the further they investigated.
Here, the tension doesn't build and the complications aren't thrilling. The writers have stopped drawing compelling characters involved in the cases so we don't really care what happens. What a waste. The show used to be a highlight now, the lights have dimmed considerably.
