Being a Criminal justice major I have a hard time with many shows about lawyers and specially court room shows, and even though I know they did it for comedy sake, this was HORRIBLE! You want to see a funny comedy about courtrooms watch, "Nightcort", at least they get it (bacially) correct. There was SO Much wrong with this its not even worth my time to mention them all, but lets highlight the worst thing...NO ONE that takes the STAND is allowed to guess or speculate, nor can they testify on 'hunches' 'feeling' or 'beliefs' specially of people other than themselves. No lawyer would allow such questioning without objection and the judge would make sure it was stricken from the record.
Again if other shows had NOT managed to 'set the bar' for courtroom commedy (My Cousin Vinny/Night court) I would let this slide but I just can't.
