Review of Eli Stone

Eli Stone (2008–2009)
5/10
It's so so
21 August 2009
After watching the first 8 episodes I can't honestly see why this got canceled, although at time very serious then it turns funny. To me serious and dry humor just don't mix very well. You can compare the show Justice to Eli Stone as the similarities are uncanny with humor thrown in for good measure Victor Garber plays the exact same part as he did in Justice but Justice was 10 times better then Eli Stone and yet they both got canceled after 2 seasons. The only reason Eli Stone got a second season was the fact people wanted to see what would happen to him and not about the law Speaking of law, Justice it was too complicated for the simple mind because it required lots of thought, which many viewer don't have after a day of work and a few beers in then.

Which is why Eli Stone made it to a second season, its not complicated one bit it's easy to follow. Except Law is very complicated and takes a long long time to fully get a grasp. Even lawyers that have been practicing it for 15 years still fail miserably.

So if you want to watch an easy watching easy understanding of law show then this is the show to watch. However you will be truly disappointed if you like using your head wile watching a show then this isn't really for you. That is the reason why Reality TV has done so well the last 8 years or so and should continue to do so because it requires 0 thought
