The Defenders 1x01 (HDTV-LOL)

i\'m not usually one for legal drama/dramedy, but this was pretty entertaining. i\'ll give it 3 eps
until i pass judgement. it\'s definitely worth 42 minutes of your life.

two flashy las vegas defense attorneys go to the mat for their clients.

jim belushi and jerry o'connell gotta be worth a look

really....why?

all of a sudden my bit torrent client (transmission) says it can't find any peers. so i can't get
this torrent download started. my earlier torrents are still seeding, but new ones like this won't
start. i tried adding some other trackers (only knew of a couple) but that didn't work -- still 0
peers. any suggestions?

i went to yt to see the trailer & got this message:

this video contains content from cbs, who has blocked it in your country on copyright
grounds.

cbs, it's a trailer ffs...

i'll have to watch the episode blind so...

jeez.

hey, that was a surprise!

well, not so much a surprise as a "phew, something with jerry o'connell that the critics might not
say sucks". mind you, i'm a jerry o'connell fan - from fat kid to sliders to rebecca romijn, i
happen to like him a whole lot, heck, i even liked carpoolers.

back to the defenders - a tired, imho, premise but in las vegas, which is a very interesting place
to run a courtroom drama/comedy, which is what this is and, if i may, it's done good enough to
actually make me want to watch another episode or two. the duo's, and likely the show's, tagline:
"what happens in vegas, call #####" is pretty smart - courtroom stories in the us' favorite spot for
debauchery, it has a lot of potential.

i didn't really dislike any part of the show since it's partially supposed to be silly - a recent
graduate that put herself through law school by dancing (which i thought was a hoot), courtroom
antics and, what i found to be refreshing, a james belushi that i don't want to punch. as i stated
above, i really like jerry o'connell so i'm very biased to whatever he does so i'll skip what he
does but it drew a chuckle at every turn.

i liked it and despite it not being the kind of show i'm into, i'll give it a few more weeks before
deciding on following it - it's stale but in a very, very fresh place so it balances itself out.

i just watched it tonight & thought it was quite good.

i hope the 'next case' is as good too 🙂

just saw the first two episodes. this show is surprisingly good!
i'm not really a fan of lawyer/court shows (except maybe boston legal).

the las vegas background really hasn't been important yet.
this show could have been located in any big city actually.

nip/tuck meets the practice, only with far less attractive actors.
