I really wanted to watch this show because the ads looked good and because I am a news junkie.  Also, I enjoy shows that give you a behind-the-scenes look at the news and how it works. I am sorry to say that this show isn't as good as the ads made it sound.

The show centers around two friends - a TV news producer, Julia George (Piper Parabo), and a defense attorney, Jake Gregorian (Daniel Sunjata ) - whose friendship benefits their careers in a reciprocal way. Julia uses Jake to get exclusive interviews for her news show, and Jake uses Julia's show to get good press for his clients. I wish the first episode had focused more on that relationship instead of trying to also solve crime because that's not really their job (Jake's client is accused of a crime). I also wish that they would show Jake defending his client and using the press to sway public opinion. I think if the show did that, it would be much better. but instead... it focuses on solving the crime, or their trying to place the blame on another person for the crime. There are just too many things going on at once.

I'm going to watch a few more episodes to see if it grabs my interest, but I don't think this show will last very long. I feel badly for the two leading actors, who have great chemistry.  I give this show two out of 5 stars because Perabo and Dunjata are worth watching together. I just wish they were on a better show.
