I admit I fell asleep during the pilot for this program, but since it follows NCIS:LA I've been passively watching, too lazy to change the channel. I like it! I thought it was going to be a lot of poor me crap, but no. Its not the usual legal crap or whiney women, either. So far the stereotypes are held to a minimum. Last night's depiction of the judge who doesn't like to be over turned was great, LOL! Refreshing to see a judge speak lines other than 'You must answer the question' or 'Call you next witness.'

If my DH falls asleep in his chair, I watch The Good Wife, a show I like. If he stays awake, Jay Leno (such a disappointment) is on. I am too lazy to find a different room with a TV. I am a Christine Baranski fan.

I really like it too! I believe that judge may be a recurring character because he was in an earlier episode as well. Besides Julianna M's Alicia character, Kalinda the investigator is my favorite.
It's odd isn't it that verdicts that are challenged go back to the original jurist. Feels rather like a conflict of interest to me, certainly not objective, and definitely can'tmake the judge happy to be have to revisit these decisions. But I guess this is how it's done in the real world. Perhaps one of our legal minds will comment on this..
Since Chris Noth is listed as a "guest star' (imdb shows him in 6 episodes), wonder if she'll divorce him the end, will he die in prison? etc.. Stay tuned.

Related to another thread topic here, the actor who plays Judge Richard Cuesta is David Paymer .
He's a "character actor" who looked so familiar (having seen him many times in numerous shows and films --like Ocean's Thirteen -- yet I never knew his name before now.......... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001601/

Decades ago David Paymer was interviewed by Terrie Gross for 'Fresh Air'. He said one of the interesting things about him is that he always gets parts where he has to wear glasses, when indeed in real life he doesn't need them...of course by now he may, LOL! Indeed, a great character actor. (Classical definition)
