So I just caught up on Harry's Law by watching the second episode. I found myself laughing internally pretty much throughout.
Whether it was Adam's instant love affair with the girl from the Chinese Laundromat or when he spontaneously switched defenses from private business rights to the legitimacy of China's one child policy as an overpopulation control, I couldn't say.
Or maybe it was the fact that we got to see the prosecuting attorney with the speech problem (speech problem) suddenly without a single repeat in his dialogue. There were even some good opportunities for it. The "are you kidding me!?" when he loses at the end especially would have lent itself to his comedic repetition.
Instead, I guess they transferred it to the overly boisterous lawyer defending the pregnant lady. This is the United States of America you know, and here we choose baby's over China. Baby. China. Baby. China. *Camera Flash!* I mean, come on! The guy even called himself a cartoonish buffoon.
Character Analysis Thus Far:
The 2 Dimensional character choices are easy to spot. Let's see if they hold up for the rest of the spring.
Harriet: Dull and Droll but Never Emotionless
Adam: Idealistic and Dramatic. A Chronic Over Reacter.
Jenna: The Shoe Obsessed Girly Girl Secretary.
Malcolm: The Naive Innocent in Over His Head, but Trying Hard
Did the writers decide to just do away with the drama part of "dramedy" all together or is the satire just becoming more pronounced?
