There are 2 different stories here as well. One with the blogger is absolutely ridiculous and is far from a joy to watch. In fact, it's very stupid.

The other story regarding the construction accident is terrific and is quite compelling.

A woman resorts to protesting by the area where her husband, a construction worker, fell to his death. She seems to be a friend of the guys' secretary, the one who talks and sounds like Bette Boop. Anyway, Nick agrees to take the case and the story is a good one as it eventually shows the corruption involved in the construction industry when payoffs are made between businesses and those who do the inspections. Another positive virtue is that money was never on the mind of the widow and Nick shows great compassion at the end when the suit is successful.

I like The Defenders on so many levels. Great cast, the acting is great, the stories current, the production excellent and it is nice to see attorneys being portrayed as regular folks. Great Job!

In this show, Whitten v. Fenlee, the case of the widow v. the builder, the attorneys for the defense show up as the giant, while Nick Morelli and Pete Kaczmarek show up and surprise. Both Nick and Pete are very inspired attorneys. The attorneys I work with were consulted by writers of this show for their expertise in the construction accident area, Dean Rice and Grant Luna, California Construction Accident Attorneys.

The other story in this show reveals the need to treat an online blogger with the same respect and rules as a journalist...a very interesting and pertinent thought. I also like the point made that magic and the secrets behind magic have history and tradition. Added plus, Penn Jillette always adds to a Vegas show.

This episode is a feel good episode & the script is quite effective as brought off by Belushi & cast. There are 2 cases here. One involves the widow of a construction accident where her husband was tragically killed. While she is not entirely distraught by his death, she retains Belushi for the higher moral ground- to do her part to prevent other deaths like it. This story has a feel good aspect while pulls effectively at the heart strings & symbolizes all that is good & how to make a positive difference. It illustrates what can go wrong in a system where accidents like the one that killed her husband happen due to corruption.

The other case involves the issues of magic, internet blogger protection, trademark infringement, & the protection of the rights of the blogger. Penn of Penn & Teller has a key role in this. A fine guest star here because Penn shows he can be a very effective actor. The magic gives this story a little showmanship. It allows the 2 issues to merge at the end into a happy ending for both cases.
