Just watched this show for the first time tonight, not sure how many episodes have aired but I quite like it. The show follows a high powered defence team and how they defend a case from beginning to end. A much different look then most shows and the thing I really enjoyed is that their client did not win in the end and was found guilty, a breath of fresh air compared to most legal shows where the "good guys" always win.

Anyone else catch this show yet?

I saw the first episode. It aired a few weeks ago, I believe. I thought it was all right. There were some tired cliches in it though, but for the most part, it was well acted. I haven't watched it recently though. I heard that it was close to being axed. Not sure if there is any truth to that though.

it was actually axed a couple weeks ago.. and then it came back on last week. I think it's crappy tho that's it's on the same time as Heroes or Prison Break.

Thanks for changing the title

I've tried my best to enjoy this show. I keep watching it every time it's on despite the fact it leaves me unsatisfied every time.

It follows closely in the CSI tradition of push button awesomeness.
"Where's the murder weapon?"
"Here, let me push the only button on this remote control to bring a 42" flat screen display down from the ceiling that will display a live-action satellite image of the area where we think the crime was committed. Just a sec. We're feeding in the data for the crime scene reconstruction algorithm and... there it is! The knife is right there! Good work team!"

I know it's supposed to be entertainment, but for me, when the legal stuff is off it really bugs me. Plus, if you think CSI has messed up North American juries' perception of forensic evidence, have mercy on us all if this show catches on...
