Premise
A hotshot young lawyer is fired from his prestigious white-collar firm and signs on with a small-time ambulance chaser and her less-than-honest paralegal who work out of a converted former restaurant. He soon finds himself facing off against his former employer in court when he takes on a wrongful death suit involving an African American man who died while undergoing hospital care.

A big Slattery fan, but holding off a bit to see if it grows some legs.

I like it when a movie or tv show beats you over the head with the title. Hot office lawyer lady: "are you ready to stop playing around and (stares at camera) start being a RAINMAKER?!?!?!" It looks absolutely terrible. Really hate lawyer dramas. The most smug and egotistical of all story lines.

Yes. alajones2 and I are watching. It looks interesting so far. I did not foresee the part at the end at all.

Caught Episode 2 last night. It’s pretty interesting so far. I never read the book. The guy is definitely playing Rudy differently than Matt Damon. Looks like his girlfriend will frick him on the case and they’ll play out the B plot with the neighbor girl.
This seems like it’s playing out as more of a whodunit than the criticism of “X” American institution than Grisham was so famous for. Dan Fogler is a really good bad guy.
Do y’all think that was really Lana Parilla’s booty? Cuz damn.

It’s ok so far. Lots of changes from the book/movie, but probably necessary for a series. Would love to see Mickey Rourke make a cameo as Stone’s father, the original Bruiser. Slattery is a great choice for Drummond. The guy playing Deck is perfectly cast. First two eps have not turned me off, but still not “must see.”
On a scale of “My Mother the Car” to “Breaking Bad,” I’ll give it a “Benson.”

Watched the first two. Not great but entertaining so should be a keeper.

So predictions-
The nurse killed the victim. And the hospital tried to cover it up.

Seems that way but then I lean to that being too obvious?

It's on my list.
I'm also a Grisham fan so that helps.

Bump- started this week. It’s not the greatest legal show ever made, but it’s entertaining 4 episodes in.
