This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It was ok. by Irishted
Very well produced and some great acting. But I thought the storyline was a bit undercooked and the dialogue too eye-rolling in its explanation of certain characters' motivations.
Also, if you're going to have a show named after a legendary character that grants the writers some pre-established affection and expectations, then let him exhibit those legendary characteristics. In my mind, Mason didn't exactly pull off amazing cross-examinations or a stirring closing argument at the trial. It just sort of ended with some of the awful characters continuing to be awful.
I guess cynical nihilism is the main requirement for prestige television nowadays. As for me, I wouldn't mind watching some hope and redemption in my entertainment to be honest.
