Reception
[edit | edit source]Allan Hughes, a lawyer writing in Australian Financial Review, says the "cases have a genuine ring" and finishes up noting "The stories are good, the bit players excellent and the settings and costumes authentic. This is probably the best Australian legal series yet."[5] Robin Oliver of The Sydney Morning Herald said after the opening episode that "overall, the concept is disappointing."[3] She later wrote "This is a creditable series that often pleases, though it occasionally suffers from transparent plots."[6] The Age's Barbara Hooks gave it a negative review writing "the lack of warmth in the characterisations, story line that failed to make me sit up and take notice, and uninterestingly presented, clumsily resolved cases combined to set back the course of ABC drama once again."[7] The Age's Ross Warneke notes "That frequent lack of character credibility is this show's major problem."[8]
