Fairly Legal

Its the time when most series are in hiatus usually I chose a new series to start watching. This time was Fairly Legal, I had seen the promos for it during White Collar brakes and someone had recommended on twitter, so thought why not? It seemed light and with an interesting theme.

An ex lawyer who decided to become a mediator ( alternative dispute resolution), who enters in questions that can be solved between only the involved ones in the matter without the need of a judge, as Kate (Sarah Shahi) often says its win,win. Which is better than someone lose and the other win as always happens when the case goes to court .

The plot its easy to follow, and the characters are quite likable. Kate is the mediator, who is quite mature to solve others problems but when it comes to her relationship with her stepmother and ex-husband she is quite the opposite.

Leo is her loyal assistant that helps her dig the backstory behind her cases as to avoid her stepmother.

Spencer is her brothers who rather behaves as the wife of his family.

Lauren is her stepmother and also the manager of her fathers company, Reed & Reed, who tries to reach to Kate and become her father business like.

Justin, who is a DA and Kate's ex-husband , is constantly trying to fix things with her, and ends up always helping her with her cases even when she puts the cases in 1st place instead of him.

And what is really funny are her ringtones, that are all Wizard of Oz related, and shows how she sees each of the persons in her life ; Father, Wizard - Lauren,Wicked Witch - Spencer, Scarecrow - Leo, Lion - Justin, Tin Man.

The first season finished with an interesting cliffhanger, basically Kate losing everything, Justin , her job... so now its hope that Fairly Legal gets renewed for a second season and we get to see if Kate becomes as mature in her own life as she is with her cases.
