I really didn't know what to expect when i started watching this show. My one thought was that it would a be a legal drama with some humour thrown in. Turns out it is that...and so very much more!
This, the first episode, immediately lets you know this is not just any law-orientated series. No easing into this, everything's out there: Cleaver Green's gambling problem, his love for a prostitute, his ex-wife being his therapist, his simmering relationship with his colleague/best friend's wife, his run-ins with authority.
Moreover, we see that his clients and cases are not at all "normal". Here his client is a cannibal! This sets the tone immediately and lets you know how things are going to be going forward.
The cannibal is played by Hugo Weaving which also set a tone for the series in that the clients are often played by well known actors/actresses. Next episode we had Lisa McCune.
