This was one of those shows that addressed complex controversial issues and had an expensive cast. CBS put it in a time slot to justify it cost, but alas it was a killer time slot economically.
It was well written, acted and directed. You couldn't find a cast with more acting talent led by seasoned actors Joe Mantegna, James Garner, and Charles Durning, but including Joe Flanigan (Stargate Atlantis) and a large number of familiar supporting actors. The issues addressed are likely to stir the political in you while it makes you think.
If you didn't see it, you should and UHD gives you that opportunity.moreless
Show Summary
EDIT
In this short lived series First Monday hoped to utilize the Supreme Court in the same dramatic manner that West Wing utilized the White House. The CBS series First Monday focused on the nine Justices who laid down the law for the United States. Joe Mantegna headed the cast as Joseph Novelli, the newest member of the nine-person Supreme Court. Entering a political arena that was evenly divided between Conservative and Liberal, the "moderate" Justice Novelli generally acted as the tie-breaker. James Garner co-starred as staunchly conservative Chief Justice Thomas Brankin, who displayed his contempt for contemporary political correctness by puffing away on a cigarette in his "officially" smoke-free private office. Brankin's chief ally was the whimsical, womanizing Justice Henry Hoskins (Charles Durning), while on varying extremes of the political spectrum were Jewish jurist Esther Weisenberg (Camille Saviola) and black Justice Jerome Morris (James McEachin).moreless
