SnoopyStyle Lifelong friends Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) are outlandish lawyers using outrageous tactics. They get recruited by mercurial Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell). Damien Karp (Reed Diamond) is Stanton's entitled nephew working in the firm. Other characters include the guy's agoraphobic roommate Pindar Singh (Kumail Nanjiani) and their street-smart assistant Carmen Phillips (Dana Davis).The show works because of the fun chemistry of Meyer and Gosselaar. McDowell has some fun as the most interesting man in the world. Pindar is also a fun character and it's a shame that they lost him in the last season. This lasted 4 x 10 episodes which is probably a good run. The last season was flagging anyways.

ravmeltt I decided to watch the first episode online, now that the show has reached its 7th episode. I wanted to see what it was like before I decided if I wanted to continue. As someone said in another review, this show is set for a younger demographic. It so reminds me of The Defenders but with younger lawyers. I loved the Defenders with James Belushi (an older lawyer) and Jerry O'Connell, not so old, but still a little more mature than Paul Michael Gossellaar and James Brecker (or Breckinmeyer). Anyway, what I liked about The Defenders is that, besides its often quirkiness, I really enjoyed the cases they worked on. I know watching one episode is not enough to judge, but there was a lot of quirkiness in Franklin & Bash, but the cases were not interesting enough for me. I think after having watched The Defenders, which I really liked, I feel that there was no need for F & B. Just bring back The Defenders and you'd practically have the same show.I also loved Paul Michael G in TnT's Raising The Bar, which I find was more exciting and interesting than F & B. There are people who'd like F&B, and if I have nothing else to watch, I'd probably watch it. But after getting so deeply engrossed in The Defenders, Raising the Bar, Harry's Law, which I love, Fairly Legal, which I love, The Whole Truth (which I loved but was cut after only about 5 episodes); and Outlaw with Jimmy Smit which I liked a lot, I can't find myself drawn to Franklin & Bash, and I don't feel it will last past one season.I'm really, really fed up of the networks and how they drop good shows and then bring back some of the same actors in a different named show with the same concept and precept, and sometimes the same role. I'm screening what I invest my time in, because these producers don't seem to know what they're doing, and frustrating people like myself who become engrossed in deep, interesting shows that get tossed over. If you want to watch F&B, feel free. The actors are great to look at (always loved Reed Diamond too), but it's not enough for me to be engrossed in.

TamPalm At first, I didn't want to tune into this show. I had chalked it up to just yet another soon-to-fail court show of Mark Paul's aka Zach Morris. But seeing as how it was hyped sooo much, I broke down and gave it a try...It's been on my DVR ever since.While the bravado of the two lawyers is a bit over-the-top and you'll find yourself wanting the show to be more like "Law and Order" in which the lawyers don't magically win EVERY case, you eventually come to terms with the rules of the show and it doesn't bother you too much. This is because the witty writing, appealing characters, and solid acting outweigh the show's weak points. At its core you come to accept that this is not a drama, it's a comedy centered around the law, not the other way around--and that's all it wants to be. And it works.7.5 out of 10 so far.

ayochristian First off, I think this show is more directed toward viewers in their early 20's and for people not so critical about law.With that being said, I think a lot of the older cats who watched Boston Legal and The Practice will write this show off. The humor, plot, and characters relate more to the younger crowd than the old.Cool music, hot chicks, and two funny friends having a good time being lawyers.If you like Entourage and know enough lawyer jargon, then I recommend this show. Also, if you liked The Lincoln Lawyer (the movie), check this show out.
