I've always loved a good courtroom drama, and for that reason alone this show had me hooked from the start. However, like so many other shows these days, after a few seasons they drifted away from that, spending countless hours devoted to interpersonal relationships and subplots. By season 5 they were hardly spending any time on actual legal cases.
I understand the need for character development, but it should never come at a cost of the show's main premise. They took an interesting show about the law and spun it off into a never ending soap opera of who's sleeping with who, politics, back-stabbing and melodrama.
