Not bad, a reasonable time filler


It's another lawyer show, standard plot with three selections from column b: (1) she's gay, (2) she prosecutes, and (3) it's set in Australia, where footballs are shaped weird and everyone bows and wears wigs. The lead actress is too square jawed to be pretty, and it's not sexy when she leaks breast milk (new kids). No sex or nudity, they even covered up a fake nursing scene, so don't expect any hot lipstick lezzy stuff, which wouldn't be possible anyway, her partner is a bit butch. There's a pretty deputy prosecutor, and the geeky assistant is hot for her . . . wait, that's familiar.

The saving grace is that it's only semi episodic, there's a major plot connecting all the shows so far (well, one and two anyway). So there's some suspense to come back to on a weekly basis. Consider it Australia's answer to Silk, with a female equivalent to Billy even, and expect about that level of quality, with a commonwealth discount.

Goodness. Between this comment and that "anti anti male" review, I find myself more interested in the show.
