Enjoyable if at times slow - could be shorter by at least three eps
Enjoyed this and discovered a new ML that is really worth watching out for - even though at first I found him arrogant-ugly, he grew much more human, and downright warm in an understated way. The FL is eccentric and refreshing but - also - was not at first sympathetic. Slow to find out about her, but she has a back story which explains a lot of her current actions. She is her own powerful woman, though, which is both rare and refreshing. There are a few laughs out loud moments, too, which are a bonus. A lot of the story is portrayed by ensemble acting, which I love - few performances are less than excellent - where there is a weaker character, I see that as poor writing/direction - the character is mostly a cliched cypher, there only to be a plot point.
It's too long, though. Eps 11/12 to 15 could pretty much have been removed / condensed. FF button was on overdrive
On the whole, I recommend this as an engaging fairly original concept piece - but don;t look for points of law or legal information ... most of that happens by 'magic'. It is however strong on 'negotiation' ...
