background
Actresses Britne Oldford and Lyndon Smith were originally cast for the characters Sandra Bell / Black and Allison Adams, which were actually intended as the main roles . After viewing the pilot, however, it was decided that the two actresses would be parted, although the series had already been ordered at that time. They have been replaced by the actresses Britt Robertson , whose Netflix series Girlboss had recently been discontinued, and Jasmin Savoy Brown . Due to further difficulties in production, this was interrupted for a long time in September 2017.
reception
The pilot episode was rated three out of five stars on Serienjunkies.de and described as a competent mix of How to Get Away with Murder and the lawyer series by David E. Kelley . “Incredibly attractive young attorneys dabbled in and out of the courtroom, and when inspiring pleadings are made at the end, accompanied by pompous music, it's not just about the fate of the accused - no, the goddamn soul of the United States of America stands on the game! Does the whole thing seem a bit old-fashioned and do the larger-than-life, self-righteous characters make very black-and-white arguments? Does Ben Matlock like hot dogs? "
