THR: It started as a documentary. It was pitched as a reality series but became a scripted series about a couple of Las Vegas lawyers and their mostly nondescript clients.
Although titled "The Defenders," there is no mistaking this stubbornly and unaccountably bland legal show for the bold CBS series of the 1960s with the same name. That series, which starred E.G. Marshall and a pre-"Brady Bunch" Robert Reed, was sharp and provocative where this one feels shallow and forced.
Bet Your Life Review: This series is a fun blend of crime, mystery, and the supernatural. With impressive performances and a storyline that keeps you hooked.
The Residence Review: The mystery is fun and Uzo Aduba shines in the series but the show is a bit cluttered and feels dragged at times.
