    Let's be realistic.

    n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

    This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

    Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

    "In Contempt" is a most excellent program, however for the hearing impaired it has no self contained scripted closed captioning which leaves the voice to text caption not making any sense towards the scenes and script. "In Contempt" needs to include scripted closed captioning that comes up and matches the exact conversation, because you know how badly voice to text works.

    When I saw that this show was from the producers of Law & Order I was intrigued, avid admirer of all the L&W shows. Then I watched it and thought this can'tt possibly be right because I was thinking Dick Wolf, and Co would never back this.. The concept is good but the execution of said concept is not. It's over the top drama that's trying to be something it's not. There wasn't anything that makes you want to watch the next episode and to say it's a gritty urban version of L&W is highly misleading. It seems rushed and not very well researched. For now you'd be better off watching reruns of the real L&W or old episodes of The Practice. Lot of work to do on this one, but if cleaned up with better writing, more polished acting it could work.

    So, here we are, we have come full circle with procedural shows and it's now the turn of the legal profession to have a fictional drama, that is a regurgitation of the old style TV series such as Law and Order...With the exception that again, the script writing is poor and the acting terrible.At least SWAT had the sense to base it on an original and keep tones of the original show, giving it an almost honest appeal, even if the first few episodes were dire and not great writing or acting (though it has improved in the last few episodes in my opinion). This though decides to go it as a standalone and is just appalling, there is no realism to the show, the in court scenes are laughable and silly, at one point I almost expected a 'gutsiest move I ever saw' reference as the lead was handcuffed for the third time...I might have actually found it funny and redeeming had they written that in, although maybe a 'You can't handle the truth' would be more apt!! As it is, it is another woeful TV series that may or may not get a full run simply because it is politically charged with a racism theme running through it (oh and a little misogyny!), but if this is the level of script writing that we can expect from new American TV series, with a lot of older TV series coming to their end of life (Criminal Minds can't have much longer, neither Law and Order SVU, not to mention the already confirmed silly show that is Scandal), then I won't be bothering, not with some great Canadian shows around and interestingly Australian and New Zealand shows about!Give this a miss, or maybe judge for yourself, 45 minutes isn't a lot of time to spare and you will get a laugh!

    Not a serious show , already a mistake/goof in the first 5 minutes . Gwen got a small coffee with a white lid for the court security officer, but in the next shot she gives a large coffee with a black lid on it .
