The one thing I really like about Fairly Legal is its manic energy. Despite the average plots and characters being too crazy at times, the show keeps charging forward without stopping. It moves so fast from scene to scene, with new wrenches thrown in at all times, that you don’t have time to dwell on whatever misgivings you may have. Yeah, you may go back and realize how dumb certain parts were, but you did get through the hour thinking how fun the show is.
“Bo Me Once” deviates outside the norm by resolving the initial mediation quickly, before it turns into Kate standing up again a bully. Because there isn’t much to that, ending with the guy getting arrested, both Lauren and Justin get storylines of their own. Since this is early in the show, I’m curious how the writers will proceed. Will the majority of the episodes be about Kate or about Kate, Lauren, and Justin?
Score: 8.6/10
