Harry’s Law
By David. E. Kelly and Lawrence Broch

This is a fabulous new show to grace our TV screens at 9:30 on a Sunday evening.
There are so many crime/law type shows on TV right now that one more would probably have you wanting to jump off a building. Harry’s Law however, is the other side of the coin. Filled to the brim with underdogs being given a second chance, witty repartee, and feel good moments. It really is my type of law show.
Harriet Korn (Kathy Bates), a disillusioned patent lawyer, is fired from her firm and has to make it on her own in the legal world. Her first case literally falls from the heavens when Malcolm Davies’ (Aml Ameen), suicide attempt is thwarted by an awning and Bates as his landing mat.
Her coworker, Adam Branch (Nathan Corddry) comes along in an equally unusual way, when he hits her with his fully loaded Mercedes.
Along with a workspace full of high end label shoes and a shoe addicted secretary (Brittney Snow) we’ve got the winning combination making up Harry’s Law.
Though we’ve only had the pleasure of one episode so far on Australian TV, I have great faith that the ten episodes long first season will be the jewel in the crown of the recently quality lacking channel nine.
