How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

Peak Bochco-era network legal drama — glossy, talky, and addictive, with elevator-sex water-cooler lore and a rotating firm that stacked Drama Series Emmys. Harry Hamlin, Susan Dey, Jimmy Smits, Corbin Bernsen's oily Arnie: litigation as lifestyle brand. The template for every later firm-as-soap prestige hybrid. Objection sustained, hairstyle noted.
