THE FIRM - Season 1.1 - PILOT/CHAPTER TWO

Mitch McDeere is now struggling to stay afloat with his own practice.  Leery about firms, Mitch is finding it hard to make ends meet.  He's a damn good attorney but his cases aren't making any money.

That's when a high-powered firm comes calling.  They want Mitch to head up their criminal defense section.  Mitch is reluctant at first but the case he's been counting on for a big settlement just announces that they're going to trial.  It's David versus Goliath and Mitch realizes he's hopelessly outgunned so he goes to the firm and proposes that they form an association.  Mitch will head up their criminal defense section but he will only do so if he can remain where he is.  Mitch gets to use all their resources, they get his legal prowess.

How blind can Mitch be?  How can he essentially fall for the same thing twice?

This series is drab and dreary.  It moves along at a snail's pace and the tone is so solemn, it puts you to sleep.  It's not entertaining.  It's missing a spark, a heartbeat, a life. 

The problem is, the drama  isn't dramatic and it's utterly void of any humor to liven up the proceedings.

This never should've been made.
