Critics' reviews

"The show is an old-fashioned courtroom procedural, but the pilot has enough sharp writing and well-greased plot twists to suggest future promise."

Verne Gay: Newsday
"There's nothing particularly bad about this new legal drama starring Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi as a couple of skeevy Las Vegas lawyers--but then again there's nothing particularly good about it, either."

Entertainment Weekly
"[It] is easily the best thing to happen to Jim Belushi since "According to Jim" was canceled"

Ellen Gray: Philadelphia Inquirer
"The show would be more defensible, oddly, if its characters could be a trifle sleazier."

Brian Lowry: Variety
"It's a brash, enjoyable hour that doesn't take itself very seriously, though fighting for their underdog clients is very serious business."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"Sure, it's nice to see Belushi in a new incarnation, and if I were trapped at a car repair shop in front of an episode I might be happy. But there are much better shows out there right now"

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"On the correct assumption that almost no one watching TV today remembers the original 'Defenders' series, CBS has created a new one with more swash, more buckle and results that are modestly entertaining."

David Hinckley: New York Daily News
"There's actually no reason this couldn't be a perfectly fine legal procedural, except there's no indication that anyone is attempting to make it one"

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
