Guillemet:

Randi: It's an annoying fact of life, but husbands can often see their wives' flaws much more easily than we can see our own. My former husband could certainly see right through me and he'd help me see it to. Usually by striking me with a baseball bat. Then one day...

Move over, L.A. Law

A 40-something lawyer comes to her office on a Monday morning to find that her husband has cleaned out their law firm and has started a new firm across the street. She must cope with the loss of her husband, her firm, and start over from scratch. She must also deal with the sudden job of being a single working mother.

This show is so much better than over law series for several reasons. For one, the cast is superb. Kathleen Quinlan (Breakdown, Zeus and Roxanne) stars as the most sensitive yet strong woman I've ever seen on television. This is her first television series since the '70s, and I'm glad she's back. Julie Warner (Doc Hollywood, Tommy Boy) co-stars as the young and up-and-coming associate, Dixie Carter (Designing Women) co-stars as Quinlan's ruthless divorce attorney, and Christopher McDonald is the "odd man out" who decides to change his sleazy ways a bit and join the firm.

Unlike L.A. Law and others, this is a small firm. It is much easier to get to know the characters and really feel for what they are experiencing in life - both in the law firm and out. The best word for it is "cozy." It makes you feel like a true insider into a small and (sometimes!) crazy family law firm. It is a cozy one hour escape from reality.
