The Defenders: PILOT - Discussion/Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

Quick and dirty.

New Legal-Drama starring Jerry O'Connell (Sliders) and Jim Belushi (countless humorous comedies from the 90s that should've been DTV, "Life According to Jim.") They appear to play off-beat Las Vegas attornies.

Same as with the other threads I've done with new series this week, just getting a feel for people's reactions to the series, discuss the premiere, etc. May or may not do a weekly thread depending.

Airs tonight at 10/9central on CBS.

Well, guess no one watched it. Including me.

 

[Trekker4747]

I DVR'd it will watch tomorrow.

 

[Agent Richard07]

I totally forgot about this. Jerry O'Connell gets another hot TV girlfriend. Or maybe it just seems like he's always getting one. I want to check this out.

 

[Skywalker]

Not much of a fan of legal dramas, so I didn't bother. I hope those who did check it out enjoyed it.

 

[Aragorn]

I'm not watching it, but based on the commercials alone, I suspect this will be one of the first new shows to get canceled.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I haven't watched a legal drama since LA Law ended so I skipped this one It looked really lame.

 

[Starbreaker]

The Defenders was decent. Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi actually make a pretty good team. Not something I'm going to be tuning into every week, but might be good for a DVRathon during the holidays.

 

[I Grok Spock]

I don't watch much (okay, any) legal dramas, but I thought this was fun. But then again, I actually liked According to Jim, so what do I know?

 

[Starbreaker]

This board is very biased against anything to do with cops and lawyers. I'm used to it.

 

[The Habs Fan]

I'll give this episode a Good. It was a fun show and a fresh take on the courtroom drama type of show.

 

[Starbreaker]

Criminal Minds lead in really worked. Defenders beat SVU and murdered The Whole Truth, pun intended.

 

[Skywalker]

This board is very biased against anything to do with cops and lawyers. I'm used to it.

I like some cop shows. I watch NCIS and I'm probably going to keep up with Hawaii Five-0. But I usually don't find the other two of TV's Big Three (lawyers and doctors) very interesting, except for ER during its earlier years.

But Lawyer Cop, M.D. was a favorite on this board!

 

[Starbreaker]

I gave up on that show when he opened up his own inn.

I gave up on that show when he opened up his own inn.

But.. but... the wacky neighbors and the overbearing mother-in-law?

 

[Marten]

I watched it and liked it, but then I tend to appreciate legal dramas.

 

[Trekker4747]

Watched my DVR'ing of it, pretty good but I can sort-of get into legal dramas. Hope to see this one stick around.

 

[Data Holmes]

Just watched it on the Tivo, and I have to say that it looks to be a pretty good show so far. I'll be keeping up as of right now.

Finally saw this last night and enjoyed it. It was fun to watch and had some interesting characters.
