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.

This is a truly great series. I enjoyed watching it and it's one of those TV shows you binge watch over the source of hours turned days and crank out because after each episode is over, you want to watch another one, and another and another.The characters and actors are all likable, which is the barometer for most people in enjoying a show. The writing is witty and cleaver.

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.

sarah shahi is a refreshing actress. the entire cast "fit" and made the show enjoyable. i hear sarah shahi was glad the show was canceled but fans still miss it; she's playing a different role on the show person of interest. another network tried a sort of spin off from fairly legal but it quickly bombed. it was nice for a change to see how people could work together and resolve issues if they tried.

I liked this show. It was not your typical lawyer story. This show had great women characters and I will miss it. I was totally disappointed when the USA network cancelled this show and decided not to release Season Two to DVD. I l liked this show better than SUITS. What a shame it won't be on.

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,

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.
