A new exciting American legal drama series follows the story of some lawyers from New York. Many kinds of them, from the amateur to the professional with various cases of murder, steal and drugs. Every one tries to prove that he is the best.
The latest Shondaland venture (created by Paul William Davies) is about - you guessed it - attractive lawyers fighting for justice and, probably, hooking up in New York City. And you guys, I am here for this.
For The People has a lot going for it. It has a talented cast, a vast world, and some decent writing. With some tweaks, it could be the next big legal drama.
It's a familiar journey with enough timely knots, snappy dialogue, and surprising, but not impossible, resolutions to make for an fun hour of television.
The youngsters are fresh-faced, their monologues are impassioned, and workplace drama has never been higher-pitched. But none of this covers for the fact that the show lacks soul.
Why, it's just Grey's Anatomy for the legal set! But there's a reason the Rhimes formula is successful, and there's enough that's fresh in For the People to make it worth checking out.
Don't go into For the People expecting the sensationalist procedural melodrama often associated with the Shondaland brand and you might find yourself appreciating the simple pleasures of a deep ensemble cast delivering reams of clever dialogue.
The women characters of For the People are treated with respect and dignity. It's Time's Up applied to prime-time entertainment -- and it's about time.
