"Good"

By AvatarBlue, May 30, 2008 Report Abuse

Not a bad episode, but not the best. The plot premise is not groundbreaking, its been done before. Its style isnt new either! What made it interesting for me and will for you are the characters involved esp. Isaac. Id actually like his character and wish that the show would demonstrate more of the shady work he "would" get up to in the background, more roughing up unco-op witnesses and the like. Stuff that Shark would perhaps have used as a def attorney, but not now. As for the episode, its a run of the mill story of revenge for Isaac, while for Stark its one of bringing the right culprit to justice.

Unfortunately the execution of screenplay leaves alot to be desired. Locations are stuck around the DAs office and the courtroom.

Another good point is Isaacs relationship with Rainia Troy. Her character has come on this season and I hope that continues.

The first act will hook you, but the middle act will probably lose you. If you remain for the third act, then youll get a very passable ending that has a fairly nice twist at the end, that sidesteps the fairly obvious ending that youd expect a hellbent lover/partner to carry out - ie. revenge. Dont fall for it - or rather do and youll feel an iota of satisfaction at the surprise.

This episode is far from the best outing, but just about a good bet to watch!moreless

"Mediocre"

I did not like this episode very much at all. I don't care for Isaac's character all that much, so that probably has something to do my disliking of the episode. It just kind of dragged on for me, nothing really special happened. It was all just blah blah blah for me.

The acting for the guest characters was not very good in my opinion.

The episode wasn't all bad though. I thought Raina's acting was very good and I liked how they set up the sleeze-ball in the end.

I also liked how Jessica was very strict with Raina at times. You could really see Jessica's DA and politician side come out.moreless

Shark is forced to investigate Isaac. As the case is re-opened into the death of his fiance. It really made you feel for Isaac as Shark didn't want to do this to him. But felt he had no other choice. Thanks to the new DA, whom really you can't help but not like at all. Julie is a you know what and she is only doing this to make people like Isaac feel bad and only herself feel good. As Shark doesn't like her as you can really tell. Still, the show was really good. Despite the storyline. Shows how well people like the DA's office will do to prosecute and investigate people they think that are on the same side. All for politics!moreless

This was Issac's episode primarily focusing on the murder of his wife and his redemption from the hurt of it. Very good episode couldn't believe a sleezy actors lawyer. Would have a woman killed to keep his meal ticket. Also Issac and Reina further solidified they're relationship and Julie revealed her true colors to Stark. I swear that girl is there to be hated as with the new DA who is toned down but still a bit too much. Not a bad episode but not the best either it's job was to bring closure to Issac's past and open up his future.moreless
