Other Option
- Fairly Legal (USA Network): Season Finale. Kate attempts to mediate two cases while dealing with some potentially big news. Plays again later. This series has been marginally fun to good at times, but tonight’s episode is the worst of the season, which is not a good way to end things. The whole embezzling storyline, the way the Justin character reacts to everything, and the way things end just makes no sense to me. What do you think of the series thus far? Are you still watching? Do you hope it will be back for a second season?

As regards Fairly Legal: I’ll probably watch the last episode, but I won’t watch it if it comes back. The main character is horrible – she is a total narciscist and treats everyone around her like garbage. I don’t understand why the ex-husband still cares or the assistant works so hard.
Still, it was worthwhile to see MacGyver gone to seed. ;)
I actually am sad that the last episode of Fairly Legal is the worst in your opinion. I really like the actress as she seems like a real nice person and the character she plays is sorta self-absorbed but she has a good heart and tries to come up with the best solution for all sides in her job and just doesn’t give up on her clients. I don’t know if it will come back but I hope it does and gets stronger. I want it to return for Sarah’s sake if nothing else. I hate it goes off on a weak note in what may be their final episode. I’ll see when I watch it.
One thing I will say about it that did continually bother me is her and the D.A. lawyer/ex guy…I never totally did understand their relationship at any point and still don’t know if they’re really actually broken up or not.
