"If this was all part of a lurid, camp drama played with gusto by all and narratively stuffed with treats, Murphy might have got away with it. But no one seems to know what they're doing; the performances seem to respond to about nine different ideas of what the show is and the plots are dismal. The trio ('You're the best divorce lawyers in town - maybe the country') wrap up multiple cases in the time it takes Kim K's nail varnish to dry."
"The series follows a group of divorce attorneys, all women, who defend their female clients against the bad men they're divorcing, while several of the lawyers are going through their own messy cases in their personal lives. Overwhelmingly, most reviewers' ratings of the show range from zero stars to being called "empty, unforgivably dull." Unfortunately, we are drawn to anything called "unforgivably dull" like a magnet. What's going on in this show that's making everyone so fiery?"
A new legal drama centers on a team of female divorce attorneys who defend women against abusive or illicit husbands while navigating their own messy personal cases. The series features high-profile stars but has been met with predominantly negative reviews that often cite empty plotting and an uneven tonal approach. Critics describe hurried case resolutions, chaotic performances that seem to pursue conflicting styles, and attempts at sensational, TikTok-friendly moments that largely fall flat. Despite critical disdain and descriptions such as "unforgivably dull," the show still draws audience curiosity for its #GirlBoss lawyers and celebrity casting.
