Editorial Reviews

IN STOCK and READY TO SHIP! Newly-minted mediator Kate Reed's (Sarah Shahi, The L Word) innate understanding of human behavior, thorough legal knowledge and wry sense of humor make her a natural when it comes to conflict resolution. Except when it comes to her own life. Kate's skills are really put to the test as she solves unconventional cases while balancing her complicated relationships with her stepmother (Virginia Williams, How I Met Your Mother), who also happens to be her boss, and the Assistant District Attorney (Michael Trucco, Battlestar Galactica), who is also her soon-to-be ex-husband. This 3-disc set features all 10 Season One episodes of the smart and entertaining drama that critics call "instantly likable" (USA Today). BONUS FEATURES include * Exclusive Scene Comparisons with Commentary * Deleted Scenes * Gag Reel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! February 3, 2011

Saw this pilot on Amazon Unbox and loved it. I'll be watching the show on TV now. It is a skillful combination of funny and serious scenes, with the indomitable and endlessly busy Sarah Shahi as Kate demonstrating how to be a mediator in even the most trying situations. The show would be worth watching just to learn how to mediate skillfully, but Kate is so much more than a mediator, and her on-again/off-again relationship with her ex-husband adds interest. The show moves quickly, and its variety of situations and characters keeps it fresh every minute. Recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars One-woman show June 29, 2012

Format:DVD

Season 1 of FAIRLY LEGAL consists of 10 episodes, each about 41 minutes long, on 3 DVDs. It's a lightweight dramedy set in San Francisco, focusing on the adventures of Kate Reed (Sarah Shahi). Kate is the daughter of a superstar lawyer, Teddy Reed, who passed away just before story begins. A former lawyer herself, Kate is now a mediator, living on her dad's boat and operating out of his high-class firm, Reed & Reed, which is managed by her icy step-mother, who's only a few years older than she is. The other key players are Kate's ex-husband, Justin, an assistant DA, with whom she still enjoys friendship and hook-ups, and Leo, her witty, African-American assistant with a love of 'nerdy' hobbies (e.g. video games, D&D, graphic novels). In most episodes, Kate tries to mediate a couple of challenging/unusual cases while also trying to solve the season-long mystery of her father's will, specifically: why did he leave a share of his estate to a person no one knows?

FAIRLY LEGAL is sleek, painless, and pretty forgettable. It's open to a bunch a snarky criticisms, from there being about 6 decent episodes stretched over 10 slots, to the rather stereotypical 'funny' black sidekick, to the awfully out-of-place end credits song. That said, it's a pleasant diversion, thanks to the absolutely stunning, unchained demi-goddess of spunk that is Kate/Sarah. She's simply a delight to watch (though the writers should give her some personality traits beyond spunky and stubborn in future seasons). Recommended as a Netflix rental or discount purchase. 3-1/2 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Heart of the Matter March 13, 2011

This new show touched my heart. It has a great story line and the plot for this pilot was fantastic. The protagonist of the show has compassion for the "underdogs" of this life. I love it when she work day and night to help a gifted teenager with a scholarship to Yale University who happened to associate with his cousin who cause him to goto jail. In the end, he is free.

Thank you, "Fairly Legal" to allow the world to know that people still have heart and not just situational ethics.
