I'll give the show a few more goes before I jump ship. But Smits just doesn't convince me of his playboy arrogant lawyer shtick. What makes the show worse is that the team he puts together looks forced. Too altogether goofy. Think "Shark". Which also had potential, a piecemeal team, and a lead with personal problems. The difference? James Woods is believable as a arrogant fast talking defense layer. Smits comes across as not being sure what he wants to be. Which is exactly what this show is presenting to us. It cannot even decide what it wants to be. A poor procedural law show, or a drama based around a man with personal problems.
This show desperately needs better character development. Quickly! I expect much more out of Smits, he could carry this show if he so chose too. Plus it's not that he hasn't had similar roles in the past. He could do this in his sleep. Unfortunately, it looks as thought he is sleeping through it. The way law shows come and go so quickly on network TV, something needs to happen ASAP for this show to survive.
My recommendation, give it another few shows to see if there is any character development. If there is none, go watch Season 3 reruns of Dexter. You'll get Smits at his best, in a similar role, and a satisfying ending.moreless
