Fairly Legal: Season 1

Love this series. Can’t wait for season 2

2 seasons, really? It started a little shaky but there was enough there to keep a person interested. Then, season 2, around the 3rd or 4th episode it really hit it's stride and was a 'can't wait for the next episode' show. Naturally, as soon as it was addictive the network cut off the flow. Networks need to learn that when they cut off their addicted viewers they go through some horrible withdrawals. Such unpleasant experiences results in... "never again". I've blocked that network from my tv. If they have a hit show that lasts for more than 3 seasons and get good reviews even of its conclusion I'll watch it in the secondary market... Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, etc.THE SHOW... possibly the most beautiful actress alive, Sarah Shahi plays a "negotiator" Kate at a law firm. A lawyer who has sworn off "law" per se. The show has plenty of tension and drama going on with her partner at Reed and Reed... her stepmother (after her father has died), an ex-husband that is an off and on sexual or love/hate interest, who is also in conflict with her as the prosecutor who routinely is a challenge to her professional life. Kate also has a love hate relationship with a despicable 3rd partner who Kate also has mixed relationship type feelings. Apparently a true Mr. Darcy but you'll never know because this network sucks. All this while each show has the additional drama of Kate trying to negotiate and 'solve' seemingly impossible conflicts where a trial is trying to be avoided. It would still be pretty fun to watch but keep in mind as soon as you really really love this show... it abruptly ends, cancelled, without anything near a conclusion.

That's right - depending on the show or movie, sometimes Amazon will have a show or two that Amazon doesn't. Good thing I have no problem supporting either company.At the time of this review, Fairly Legal is up to Season 3. I just didn't know I had to review the product that I purchased.The ONLY thing I don't like about the show, but can overlook because the storyline is good enough, is that they over-sex the character of Kate Reed, instead of emphasizing her mediator role. I realize that sex appeal sells more than anything, but I've never known a character in the law profession to be sexy or glamorous.

Saw this pilot on Amazon Unbox and loved it. I'll be watching the show on TV now. It is a skillful combination of funny and serious scenes, with the indomitable and endlessly busy Sarah Shahi as Kate demonstrating how to be a mediator in even the most trying situations. The show would be worth watching just to learn how to mediate skillfully, but Kate is so much more than a mediator, and her on-again/off-again relationship with her ex-husband adds interest. The show moves quickly, and its variety of situations and characters keeps it fresh every minute. Recommend.

I bought a “Fairly Legal” shirt, I so enjoyed this show. It isn’t perfect, but it is entertaining, in large part due to the great Sarah Shahi.One thing ticks me off about the DVD release. They eliminated the opening credit sequence with the “Yellow Brick Road” song. That was a highlight, which was criticised when the second season dropped the song, but it was there through the first season, made more appropriate by lyrics referring to how we can “achieve the inconceivable” and “there’s no tornado that can stop us now.” If you’ve seen the show, you know that seems written for it, although I believe it wasn’t.This is not syndication, where they can squeeze in an extra commercial by cutting out parts, it is a DVD, with plenty of room for that ridiculous FBI warning and superfluous disclaimers, but they won’t spare 30 seconds for the theme? No. My guess is the company was too cheap to pay Iyeoka Okoawo’s performance fees. And despite the aforementioned disclaimers, there is no mention that this is a doctored version of the show with less, not more, than the original. Okay, a couple of deleted scenes we could live without.A case where Kate Reed (Sarah’s character) would have straightened out the manufacturers of these disks to get justice for purchasers.

This new show touched my heart. It has a great story line and the plot for this pilot was fantastic. The protagonist of the show has compassion for the "underdogs" of this life. I love it when she work day and night to help a gifted teenager with a scholarship to Yale University who happened to associate with his cousin who cause him to goto jail. In the end, he is free.Thank you, "Fairly Legal" to allow the world to know that people still have heart and not just situational ethics.

Yet another USA series that didn't survive. At least this one made it into two seasons. It is quite different from other "legal" shows out there, in someway reminds me of Outlaw. She is not lawyer, in fact she "hates lawyers", she is a mediator, trying to get people to work out their differences out of court. Her assistant Leonardo adds the needed comic relief during these sometime heavy episodes. I think Season 2 was a lot better, but I haven't had chance to re-watch season 1 yet,

I bought the pilot episode (only) for this show which had floored me when I first saw it. Because of copyright laws and sync licensing wouldn't allow them to keep using the Wizard of Oz songs as her phone chimes. The rest of the season ran all right, but I really liked the pilot and wanted to own it. There were so many great moments in this pilot and I liked her work in this show and the short live NBC show Life.

A well written show , she gives a great performance. Check her out in Person Of Interest , another amazing show that i like.

Notre héroïne médiatrice en herbe est hyper dynamique et un rien bordélique. C'est amusant et divertissant. Le seul hic est qu'il semble que la saison 2 n'est jamais arrivée en France, quel dommage !

Eine solche Serie nach nur zwei Staffeln und 23 Folgen abzusetzen ist Wahnsinn! Das Quoten-Geschiele macht manchmal richtig krank. Denn die Serie war einfach nur GUT!!Im Mittelpunkt steht die Anwältin Kate Reed (Sarah Shahi; mittlerweile bekannt aus vielen Serien und Teileinsätzen) aus San Francisco, die seit einigen Jahren die Kanzlei ihres Vaters verlassen hat, um fortan als Mediatorin zu arbeiten. Durch den Tod ihres Vaters hat sie sich nunmehr mit ihrer Stiefmutter, die etwa so alt wie sie selbst ist, auseinanderzusetzen, um sein Vermächtnis, die Firma, vor dem Ruin zu bewahren. Und es gibt für beide genug zu tun, schon allein damit sich gegenseitig zu beschnuppern.Muss man gesehen haben, wenn man ÜBERDURCHSCHNITTLICH GUTE Serien liebt. Trash gibt es genug.

Ordinata or ora questa spumeggiante comedy che ho visto ed apprezzato, non vedo l'ora di rivederla in DVD! L'attrice è colei che interpretò la sensualissima dj, Carmen per l'appunto, in "The L Word". Qui la vedremo in una spumeggiante comedy a tinte legal, per divertenti serate. Appena mi giunge a casa aggiungo due parole sul supporto ottico. Se amate le serie tv comedy ve la consiglio sicuramente, è frizzante e diverte. E' arrivato ed i supporti ottici sono perfetti, ottima risoluzione d'immagine!

thank you
