Sarah Shahi is likely the reason most guys will watch the show, which verges on chick-flicky at times, with dialogue that's a tad cloying. However, the plot lines are quirky and interesting (and, in the pilot, rather funny). Shahi is an extremely personable and cute actress. As seems to be the vogue in contemporary culture, references to the Wonderful World of Oz abound. Atypical of most female leads, Shahi's character lives on a yacht. And the setting, in San Francisco, is a departure from U.S. legal dramas that always seem to be set in New York, or L.A. There are lots of location shots of SF landmarks and icons. However, Canadian viewers should note the signs of two Canadian financial institutions in one of the scenes.
