Made in Jersey
CBS, Friday 9/8 Central
Sep 28, 2012
Web Exclusive
This quirky legal drama would have registered better if not for two things: 1) The New Jersey shtick has worn out its welcome to the point of being annoying, and 2) Fairly Legal, a show with some similarities in tone and premise on a competing network, is doing it with much more charm. Janet Montgomery mostly shines as Martina Garretti, the Jersey girl who sticks out like a sore thumb in her stuffy law office, and it’s always a thrill to see Kyle MacLachlan, whose character runs the firm. Stephanie March is stiff and grating and less than nuanced in playing Martina’s office enemy/frenemy. The story in the pilot was solid and interesting. All in all, this has some potential, though the pilot won’t knock any socks off.
