yelyah - “the somewhat forgotten dream 20110925” piano improv
Turns out “Harry’s Law” was indeed cancelled.
I discovered the show after its first season was already over and though I wouldn’t say it was a must watch, I was happy to hear it was getting a second season.
But what premiered the other night was not “Harry’s Law” at all. Gone is everything that made the show unique and what’s been put into its place is a cookie cutter law show that I could really give a sh*t about.
All but 2 of the original cast are either gone permanently or relegated to guest star status. The original feel of someone starting over and being scrappy and working in a crappy neighborhood has suddenly been replaced with a traditional upscale law office setting.
And instead of it being “Harry’s Law”, now Harry (Kathy Bates’ character) seems to be a tiny piece of the cast. And IMO, they didn’t give the viewer any reason to care about all of the new characters. They were just sort of thrust upon us.
This show really should’ve just been renamed. Maybe this new show will be good. Hell, I’ll even admit that it could end up being better. But it’s a real slap in the face to any fans of the real show to keep the name and basically throw out everything that made it likable in the first season.
Though I will say that I won’t necessarily boycott this new effed up version of the show, the show just got dropped from my watch list and the only way it’s going to get back on the list is if I hear people absolutely raving about the new version.
RIP Harry’s Law.
