Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:01:01 +0000 http://shoutingintothewind.com/?p=697#comment-1762 Last week when I saw a certain chick flick sequel in the theater, I got subjected to an extended behind-the-scenes making of preview trailer for this show. I thought it looked comically bad - full of every legal drama cliche in existence. I'm not sure if it's for a female audience, but maybe the producers aren't sure either -- how else to explain Mark Paul Gosselaer's long hair? Bet-hedging made visual!

Although, in the episode with the high schoolers, that's not quite true. The question of innocence there was murkier which may be why I liked that episode and case more. I honestly don't know if I see it pulling in a female audience but perhaps. I feel like it's supposed to pull more for the anti-establishment people but I just didn't feel that message strongly enough. If anything, I kept thinking Mark Paul's character was annoying in his inability to see that he could be doing more for his clients if he didn't refuse to give a little. But maybe that's because that's more my view on things? Maybe for those who are more like the character will truly identify with and be pulled in by him? You know, that’s such a good point.
