Show Summary

  • Returning Series

Harriet (Kathy Bates), Adam and Malcolm are three very different people from completely different walks of life. After Harry is fired from her job as a patent lawyer, she encounters some strange occurrences which lead her to decide to open a new law firm. The location she chooses happens to be an abandoned shoe store. Adam, a lawyer from a big firm hears Harry has started her own practice so offers to help the new place get its feet off the ground. After only one case, he decides he wants to stay. Malcolm is a young man in his first year of law school whom Harry met during those strange occurrences after she was fired at the beginning of the show. Together with the help of Jenna, their assistant, they run Harry's Law and Fine Shoes. These folks were brought together by fate to serve the people of the neighborhood in which their business resides.

  • Renewing Harry's Law

    I am so thankful that Harry's Law was renewed. I just love this show. There is so much to learn from each episode. Kathy Bates does an outstanding job in playing Harry. You can see how the character has developed. I really like the original cast. The verdict is still out on the newcomers.

  • A look at our legal system that except for "The Good Wife" is unique in today's market.

    "Perfect"
    By bmoshier, Jan 05, 2012 Report Abuse
    At the current time (it seems) only Harry's Law and The Good Wife seems to deal with all aspects of our legal system. So many series limits itself to dealing with criminal law, which disappoints me as most law work in this country is non-criminal.

    Honestly Harry's Law is in many ways not as good as "The Good Wife," but at the same time it is better. I find it easier to sit through an episode of Harry's Law than The Good Wife 2 out of 3 times (or so). Yet, Harry's Law seems in some ways a fluffy series, while The Good Wife has a serious drama feel to it. I'd appreciate seeing Harry's Law grow up, gain some more drama, and also expand its view of issues by looking at different aspects of a specific issue, follow it through the appeals process, and yes maybe even how lawyers can help write laws ....

    Who knows maybe if the series looked a lawmaking, there could be a spin off looking at a state legislature, getting elected, making laws, interaction with the executive branch, etc.

    While I'm giving Harry's Law a 10 (Perfect) honestly, it is below 10 and above 9.5. Since we lost the ability to give a more exact rating, I believe in rounding up instead of down. Hence 9.51 to 9.99 rounds up to 10.moreless

  • Unfortunately it's just too cheesy.

    I like most/nearly all of the actors, so the acting is solid but the plot and script are terrible (maybe ok in small flashes). The show has no depth; just too shallow to have any honest feel. However, the worst part may be the music in the show. The music is repetitive to let us know how we're supposed to feel but it usually just pisses me off and sometimes even seems offensive. I watch too much tv so I'll probably still watch it for the actors (even with 1 good one down).moreless

  • Disappointing developements.

    "Mediocre"
    By yarnqueen, Nov 09, 2011 Report Abuse
    When Harry's Law debuted last spring, I was thrilled to see something with a new twist on the legal practice, and thrilled to see Kathy Bates in the starring role.I loved the first season, which showed the cultural diversity of our times condensed intoa dewdrop-sized neighborhood, viewed under a microscope. This season, the rallying cry is "OUT OF THE GHETTO!!" "Get rid of the struggling law firm, that gets its payment through sockfuls of cash, or protection from neighborhood crime!!" Ms. Bates' wonderfully cranky character was expelled by her former elite lawfirm, and is now tucked intoANOTER elite lawfirm's suite? What's with that?Harry's Law has gone from wonderful, energetic and diverse, to just another lawyer show, white as the driven snow, and disappointing to watch. I tried it this week, "The Queen of Snark", and it didn't do anything for me. Sorry, Harry. You deserve better.moreless

  • Where is the shoe store? Where is Malcolm and Jennie. I love the that part and the staff at the shoe store along with the story lines. It was great. If was very different. Please go back to the shoe store and practice law with the first staff.moreless

    The new show and staff or ok but I love the first season better.
    Bring back the first staff and let us know why she is no longer practicing in that community.
    She was terminate from a large law firm and has now returned to another one. WHY !!!!! It does not hold my attention like the first season did.
