When we last saw Kate (Sarah Shahi) she was being fired from the firm her father built by her wicked step-mother Lauren (Virginia Williams) in the First Season finale. With Reed & Reed on the verge of collapse not only does she appear to have her job back if she wants it (thanks to her brother’s proxies which give her ownership of half the firm), but she’ll also have to deal with an aggressive new lawyer (Ryan Johnson) Lauren has brought on as a partner.

lincoln-lawyer-dvdMatthew McConaughey stars low rent defense attorney Mickey Haller who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car. According to Mickey, he’s never had an innocent client until a new case involving a spoiled rich playboy Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) comes his way.

Oh, Roulet isn’t innocent, far from it. He’s not only guilty of the charge of assaulting a prostitute (Adventureland‘s Margarita Levieva) but also the death of another woman (Yari Deleon) years before who Mickey’s previous client (Michael Peña) is serving time for on advice from his lawyer to cop a plea.

The realization causes Mickey guilt over not taking his previous client seriously as well as anger at Roulet who chose him specifically to not only shield himself from the previous crime but to mess with Mickey’s life. Now Mickey has a choice, expose Roulet and be disbarred for sharing privileged information with the police or do his job and get the smug son of a bitch off.

I’ve been very pleased with the shows USA Network has put out in recent years. I was a big fan of Monk, and I love Psych, as well as Burn Notice and White Collar. I was impressed with the first season of Covert Affairs, and In Plain Sight has proved to be an engaging drama centered (as most USA shows tend to be) a deeply human, and deeply flawed, central character.

USA’s latest, Fairly Legal, revolves around a lawyer turned mediator (played by the lovely and charming Sarah Shahi) who works for the law firm started by her late father and now run by her step-mother (Virginia Williams).
