After all of the cancellations as of late, we’re going to find it hard to invest ourselves in anything. We’re definitely pissed over the NCIS:LA and Vampire Academy cancellation. It feels as though someone in an office somewhere is making our lives miserable.
Now that being said, we want to believe that The Good Lawyer is going to happen. We want to find joy in this.
Even if we’re overlooking the casting of Felicity Huffman (not because the college admissions scandal, but because not a fan of her as an actress). There has been more casting added to the possible show, Bethlehem Million.
Who will she play? She’ll play Abby, a, “Compassionate, practical and a voice of reason, Abbie is Joni’s (McMann) slightly older sister, as well as her biggest cheerleader, roommate and best friend. These two share the bond of siblings who survived a less than ideal childhood together. ”
The Good Lawyer is set as a backdoor pilot during the March 6th episode of The Good Doctor. In the episode, “Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) seeks legal representation to help him win a case and puts his faith in a promising, young lawyer, Joni DeGroot (McMann) who has obsessive compulsive disorder.”
The description continues, “The brilliant, funny and self-aware Joni is relatively new to her prestigious law firm when she takes Shaun’s case. Living with OCD, Joni has never wanted to be treated differently. While her symptoms take a toll on her personal and professional life, her attention to detail allows her to see cases through a different lens.”
Does The Good Lawyer sound like a show you’ll watch?
