There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreWhy does Shonda's stuff keep getting aired? This is so dire, after the first episode, which was almost impossible to follow, was deleted and recording terminated.The high review number and second season amazes me.
... View MoreThese young actors are excellent. The dialogue is razor sharp and to the point. No time is wasted during this hour. They keep it simple and entertaining at all times. It's TV folks,not an Oscar worthy movie,enjoy this simple treat.
... View MoreI usually do not like tv series that are predominantly episodic (as opposed to serial.. in which episodes are completely interdependent throughout the season) ... but I'm enjoying For the People. It is basically a legal drama about a group of top graduates from the nations best law schools (half US attorneys/ half federal public defenders), battling each other in the highly influential Southern District of NY. Because the series is set in Federal Court- legal issues tend to be constitutional in nature... so the legal issues are a bit more academic than many other legal dramas. I think the characters have an array of personalities & the legal issues hold your attention & the show overall has a good pace. I definitely recommend checking it out.
... View MoreThe first thing you must notice about this show is that the actors are young. Not just young -- ridiculously young. As in not even old enough to be practicing lawyers in real life. On top of that, they're also not very good actors. All that can be put aside if the stories are good. They aren't. They have an agenda and they take every moment they can to club you over the head with that agenda. It's simply too much to bear.I see that ABC has only ordered 10 episodes. Poor choice on their part as 6 would have saved them money. I suspect they won't even air the 10 episodes that they've got in the can.
