Tonight we got to see into the past of our favorite lawyer Elizabeth Canterbury and her sons kidnapping

By Bradpitt32, Mar 21, 2008

On an emblessed Monday night, when i usually watch television, I once again tuned into Canterbury's Law, one of my favorite shows. In the episode, Liz defended a man accused of committing a crime, and than digging up the body. Liz believes the man is innocent, because he claims that he has information about her missing son, Sam, who is seen in the opener, on the day he disappeared. Hmmm. Could it be that the trouble in her struggling marriage could be partly because of the little boy's disappearance? She believes the man is innocent, because he claims he is psychic, and has info on Sam. He is later released from prison, and the charges are eventually dropped. Another great episode.moreless

Great episode. Twists, turns and interesting story line.

By mccar29, Mar 19, 2008

I really enjoyed the pilot last week but I was concerned that future episodes may slide into prosecutor or police bashing. That would be a huge turn off for me. Well, I was very pleased this week. The characters were well represented on both sides of the issue. I loved the story line. It was NOT predictable and I was left guessing until almost the end. They also took a risk with the whole psychic thing but I liked it. As for Julianna, she was incredible. She's hard as nails but she has this amazing sensitivity. She is sarcastic and witty one minute. The next, she is tearful and vunerable. Her performance is Emmy worthy. I'm definitely ready to see more.moreless

More about Canterbury's past...

8.6

By Parricida, Mar 18, 2008

So, it is every right to say - this episode was totally about Canterbury and about her past - previous episode already gave us hint that there might be something bad happened with her child, now we learn - that he was just taken. That is the problem of her marriage.. and counseling does not seem to help it. So, when a case just comes to her, she first believes that the man is innocent and then it more and more starts to look like that man might be the one who took her son.. but the truth is not so easy - the man was innocent as she thought first and she really believed that he is a medium and took him to the playground where he was last seen - nothing but it looks like this is a potential future storyline...

Really good one :)moreless
