TV reviews: BluffCityLaw and AllRise
Monday nights this fall will be very special for TV viewers unsure about the complications of the justice system and hungry for platitude-packed broadcast dramas ready to make that most controversial of points: Justice is hard, but worth it!Bluff City Law
This expositional dialogue is also completely at odds with other character details about Elijah, who has to perplexingly be depicted as simultaneously crusading and conservative, progressive and yet not nearly as advanced as his daughter, even if she repressed that side of herself to go to the dark side. He's supposed to be a philanderer, but the show doesn't want us to hate him, so that's safely contained in the past.
Structurally, the show whips around from weekly forgettable David vs. Goliath cases to one serialized case without enough meat on its bones to justify the extension and more frivolous legal matters like the fight over a BBQ recipe. At least they were able to film in Memphis and there are moments of decent texture, but generally the show feels like something David E. Kelley would have made and made better 20 years ago.
