Movie Reviews of Studio One: The Defender
Movie Review: Good show, but a little slow...
Summary: 3 Stars
Watching this TV courtroom drama, I realized I saw it when I was a kid--I remember bits and pieces. Nevertheless, I recently saw the Boston Legal episode, Son Of The Defender (one of BL's finest) into which the producers add various clips of The Defender, so I had to have it.
The show, filmed in black and white, really wasted a lot of time in development, and if it had been condensed by half, would have held the audience's attention a bit more.
The acting was top-notch, and the end was excellent, plus it made for a great, I mean truly great, Boston Legal episode, which is in the third season disc set. If you've seen The Defender, then you've got to see Son Of The Defender, or vice-versa....
