Jury pool poker ...
bosporan13 May 2022
An intriguing card game of bluffs over jury selection. Sounds like watching paint dry, but not at all, the whole thing is fabulously entertaining. Mickey is stacking the deck against the prosecutor and simultaneously dealing-in his know-it-all client.

A thoroughly enjoyable episode.

Well Constructed Jury Episode
Hitchcoc23 August 2022
Every court show has a jury selection phase. YI thought this one was handled quite well. Of course, there isn't usually the recalcitrant defendant getting in the way. I keep asking myself that if he were convicted (which is unlikely) what would he do? Set up all his high tech video in an 8Tx10 cell? Now Mrs. Haller is getting into the act because she is under great pressure to get a guy using immigrants as slaves found guilty. I wish Mickey would leave his ex-wife alone for a while. This does drone on to the detriment of the show. I disagree with the two guys who keep complaining about the actor playing Mickey. He seems complex and interesting as he boils under the surface. Oh, his clothes? Really?

"Twelve Lemmings in a Box"

Someone gave this episode one star? What?! Are we watching the same show?

The cut, parry and thrust of jury selection is explored in "Twelve Lemmings in a Box" in great detail and even if it is a highly fictionalised version of how jury selection happens, it was highly entertaining watching Haller and the prosecution retire and excuse jurors, and the lengths both sides go to in order to find information about potential jurors. A very fascinating episode - maybe the most fascinating one yet - and now to trial. Elsewhere, Maggie works a new angle on her case, and it seems that Mickey might end up becoming involved in that one, too.

fifth episode

So jury selection finally started and I miss Jason Bull.. what a good show. Nice.

That is a good show.. things flowing, pieces fitting into place and many things happening. Not a boring scene to see.

And of course, Micheys. Driver.. she is awesome.. she may not be involved deeply in the cases per se but she is the one that brings character development to the story.. the way they speak to each other.. the way the open up.. what mickey tells her.. you do not see tell anybody else and she feels comfortable opening up to him, telling him that her ex is addicted to drugs and that she was the one that got her hook up in the first place.

Every character is great but the nonsense about the mickey hovering over the ex even tho she was ghosting him.. it is cringe.

Great ending nonetheless.

Cheesy and cliché...it's actually worse!
hpcmakeup17 May 2022
No one is witty when you are at the LA courthouse..the jury scene is ridiculous. Everyone is trying to get out of there.. no one shares their dreams and ambitions! What if someone actually charming played Mickey?? Like Chris Klein or Scott Speedman...or literally anyone other than this boring charismatically challenged terrible dressing terrible replacement for Matthew McC actor. The Cisco guy is absolutely awful also. The poker scene is painfully awful..obviously the writer has never been to an LA poker game or The Viper Room. So bad!!!

David E. Kelly never picked a jury in his life

Tired cliché saws from 40 year old trial ad textbook. No wonder critics gave this show such meh reviews. I mean this literally-"when you have the law pound the law, when you have the facts, pound the facts, when you don't have facts or the law pound the table" was the equivalent of "take my wife please" when I I first heard it in the eighties. Sad and unimaginative.
