Is it worth it
A legal drama that earns its mentor-junior dynamic honestly and then refuses to resolve the personal relationship, which is either mature restraint or cowardice depending on your patience. The case work is solid, the courtroom scenes are among the better ones in recent memory, and the twelve episodes never pad.
A young, rookie lawyer with a strong sense of justice joins a top law firm — navigating the complex legal world under a cold, demanding mentor.
