I would hire Lionel Hutz over anyone in this show, even if I was facing the Death penalty. Because Lionel Hutz' incompetence would at least be funny in the court room.
I can never watch these terrible movies.
Mr Eagle, you missed an important piece of California law that changes the entire interpretation of the show, and makes what the protagonists did completely legal and actually encouraged. You see, according to the Rocky and Bullwinkle Act (2000), "Celebrities are above the law".
You say her lack of legal qualifications stop her from being a lawyer, but her lack of acting skills didnt stop her from being an actor.
There is, however, no bar for acting...
However, she's not an actor. She just get on tv pretending to be one just like she's pretending to be famous and a celebrity 😂😂
@a1b2c3d4-d3mI don’t particularly care for Kim, but to say she’s not a famous celebrity is ridiculous. She’s one of the most recognizable people on the planet.
I think if the Trump orbit has proven something during the last 12 years, it's that some really dumb people still manage to become lawyers.
Or George Santos
Fair play to Glenn Close, got rid of a group of liabilities in her office under the guise of empowerment
Yeah I was hoping there would be some sort of "Thank goodness they're gone" quip. But no, it was shockingly supposed to be serious.
If the show had any good parts, they would have included that.
THAT would have been clever writing.
Sadly she joins them later on. Never watched the show, but I know a lot about it from watching it be made fun of over and over and over again 😂😂😂😂
The self-awareness clause got erased from the script.
I have secondhand embarrassment for all the good actors in this.
She stands out so much against them. Every line she delivers is void of any emotion or investment
I'm sure they're fine. They have other projects to look forward too.
So everyone except kim, 😂
I want to know what the producers have on them to get them to agree with this mess. Promises of another project without the plastic creation? I have questions.
It’s fun to watch. No one, no one, expects it to be realistic.
If this is how Kim thinks lawyering works, it's no wonder she flunked the bar test.
Part of me wants her to succeed in becoming a lawyer just so she can be immediately disbarred when she attempts her extortion racket irl
Tbf I don't think she had much influence on the writing of the show, but I could be wrong.
She did say she asked ChatGPT for answers to previous bar exams... Instead of studying
@gabiluch87 Yeah that's a big yikes.
You can say a lot about kim, but she didn't write the show
“He enjoys assplay. So what? A lot of adults do.”
Something I never expected from LegalEagle but I respect your bluntness.
A show written by people who think Lawyers are just professional gossip buddies 😭
Its like they watched an episode of suits got drunk and start writing?
she like.. wore a tie!!!
that's like.. so totes legit lawyeringness
(please read that with an abundance of vocal fry)
The guy wrote Riverdale and American Horror Story. Expect no less.
I mean, intra-firm? Can confirm.
It's a Ryan Murphy show, the law is not even a tertiary element of the story 🤣
This is what self-insert Mary Sue fanfiction looks like when you’re so rich you can make it into a TV show and not just a .txt file. 😂
power fantasy or wish fulfillment tend to be really underwhelming.
Absolutely 💯
kim didn't wright this crap shes just badly acting in it. the show was made by 3 guys jon baitz, joe baken and ryan murphy
I know. It's like every fanfiction I try to filter out. And they always have the most hilariously ridiculous names too. It's like "Sky Diamond was your average 19 year old until she found out she was immortal and fell in love with Captain America and became best friends with all the Avengers." So basically as dumb as this too. 😂
@Bliff86you're right she didn't write it, but her, Kris Jenner, and pretty much all the lead actresses are billed as exec producers. So they do have more power than the regular shitty actor, lol
I gotta be honest with you, I find a TV show about Kim Kardashian being a terrible lawyer and assuming the rules don't apply to her way more believable than one in which she's a competent attorney.
Yeah, but what about the part where the show acts like she is in fact being competent?
😂😂😂😂
@NoriMori1992 Honestly makes it funnier, in it's obsurdity.
I mean, watching people be totally delulu is, in fact, a favorite pastime of a large number of people. I’d say their comment is still valid 😹
4:59 wait… she’s mad that she has job security? 😂😂😂
you can't convince me an actual human brain actually wrote that dialogue, good lord. It sounds like chatgpt from three years ago.
there is a decent chance it was. Kim openly admitted she tried to use ChatCPT to study for the bar. it would not suprise me if she tried to use it to write the script.
sounds like chatgpt now.😊
The judicial system is crumbling, and this show was still so bad, it had to get lawyered
I didnt even know this show existed, and personally I'm worst off for it. Its like reality TV and law shows hooked up and the baby became a nepo baby nuisance.
@Thedonutchanit's actually even worse than that lol
Made me turn on Boston Legal, Boston Legal is ridiculous, but does not take itself seriously and at least the writing and acting is top.
To subject these talented actresses to this garage should be a crime.
Edit: obviously, I'm not talking about Kim Kardashian. She deserves this show.
@Thedonutchan I'm better for not watching it 😊
It gets an F on acting alone. The show should be called "How I got disbarred and briefly imprisoned"
As a podcast host I follow pointed out, the show did itself no favors by *stacking* the cast around Kim. Great talent doesn't elevate the talentless, it just makes them more obvious.
Credit where it's due to the actual credentialed actors taking the opportunity to gnaw on the scenery since the script was already garbage.
It's so funny that Kim thinks she can act when she's had so much work done that she can't even move her face anymore.
@panpolypuff Imagine having the level of delusion you need to have that you think that your task is to out-act Naomi Watts and Glenn Close.
Umm no? All the other actors did well. Neicy Nash is AMAZING. Don’t take all the actually talented actors down with Kim. 🙄
Neicy Nash seems to play the same character on every single show
In other words they all lost their job in the first episode if this was real lol
Not only that, but they would also be subject to prosecution and even major jail time.
They all would have lost their jobs*😊
lost their profession and their freedom because extortion comes with jail time
@Lobsterwithinternet What a weird season of Orange is the New Black
@Lobsterwithinternet there’s a good chance that model ship is worth enough to make the property destruction a felony 😂
2:11 this sounded like an RPG, ina very bad way 😂 "Before embarking on this quest, you may select one companion"
The investigator is their starter Pokemon
😂 "Make sure you fill your party with companions whose abilities compliment one another." Oops, you've all stacked the traits Terrible Acting and Legal Malpractice. This may be an issue when you start high-level content later....
Gotta love how in shows like these, contracts are portrayed as if they were written up by Ursula in The Little Mermaid - a magical unbreakable document where everything is completely binding no matter how ridiculous it is. I bet the writers of the show genuinely think that a prenup can state "should a divorce occur, party shall walk away with nothing but the shirt on her back."
😂 even if the prenup was like "She gets a lump percentage" this show probably would argue "why get 25 percent when you clealr deserve 99.9 regardless of whatever behavior maybe influenced a divorce requirement."
It's a new genre called legal escapism.
you know what, I'm down for that, take me away!
Like westerns back in the day, including serious actors pulling off insanely dumb dialogues
Pretending to have a job is the escapism part for Kim Kardashian.
@francookie9353 If your score is too low to do anything with it. I'd argue that is in, function if not letter, a fail
@Gallagher068what does this comment even mean? I've read it several times over and I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Ryan Murphy must have used Kim's ChatGPT notes to write this.
Kim to Ryan "Trust me bro"
ChaatGPT would be more consistent with the actual laws of California State, and legal framework in general.
@ronaldtower5132 what makes you think so?
I bet ChatGPT could have fact checked the legal framework of this show ironically enough.
Why would anyone go to Ryan Murphy for consistent, thoughtful writing? He can create good episodes, and great moments, but we have a couple of decades of proof that this is not his forte.
Fun Fact: All's Fair has a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes..... 6%
And it got renewed for a second season
Too high.
@SpoopyD4RealHOW!?!?!
With 9.7 K reviews All’s Fair has a 3.4 rating on IMDB. What is Judith Light doing any where near this show.
@2435Bitsit is one of most watched shows on hulu recently
3:02 occam's razor: kim Kardashian isn't good at law, so she's making promises she can't keep, legally. This is a realistic portrayal of her IRL self, and is actually great writing.
And with the revealing outfits she wears she probably thinks that what female lawyers wear.
"Kim Kardashian is not a lawyer...but she plays one on TV." The way I could hear the sigh you didn't sigh when saying that.
26:16 love that LegalEagle is more mad at the kink shaming than the extortion lol 😂
We stan a king who appreciates the freak scene 😂😂😂
@poison1012285 you made me laugh so hard it woke my dog and she’s now giving me the stink-eye.
Right? Love that he’s so on point with a person’s right to live their life without judgement. 💛
That is pretty funny!
I do appreciate his response
"How I got disbarred and ruined a career of a profesional Dominatrix doing it".
There’s genuinely no beginning to her talent
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂
XD
Best quote about Kim ever
Objection: your literal one example, Suits, does NOT start with anyone starting up a new firm. It starts with a lawyer taking on a new underling who never (legally) passed the bar.
😂 this is true. Harvey is already in a firm and as far as I know, didn't leave.
He would have had a better choice in saying Daredevil, who literally was a Start up firm from the jump
He recently did an episode about the Suits LA reboot where that was the situation.
@TheFatalcresti was thinking of murdock & nelson!
Architectural inconsistencies aside, if that room at 8:00 is just ONE in their firms new office, why do they need to work at all??!! How much would a space like that cost per month?? If you can afford that level of extravagance, being a lawyer is more of a hobby than a living. You could pay your lead investigator "partner" to stay home and wrangle her triplets. At least Suits had an office that looked more-or-less realistic. And the firm they all left? It looked more like one of those New York private clubs, like The Diogenes Club or something.
Being a lawyer as a hobby does totally fit Kim Kardashian.
It may be just as legally dubious but at least Phoenix Wright never tried to kinkshame his clients
Pretty hypocritical for Kim Kardashian of all people to kinkshame someone.
That's true, although he did tell Maya to lay off the burgers when she said she couldn't even fit into the tiny costume vest made for a lion. So he is a tad guilty of fat-shaming.
I mean some characters in Phoenix Wright 100% deserved to be kinkshamed.
I think you mean opposing counsel's clients 😆 But yes.
Also, at least Ace Attorney owns its weirdness and lack of realism. This show takes itself WAY too seriously to be cut any slack.
Here’s the thing though. I am an EXTREMELY kinky guy myself. I don’t kink shame.
But I don’t feel what they were doing was kink shaming. They were just exploiting his own feelings of shame to their advantage.
They probably didn’t care what he was doing. But they knew he did.
Kim isn't known for her acting skills. Oh her legal knowledge. Or her parenting skills. Or her writing skills. Or her... (list goes on)
Or her ethical business practices
Non-disgustingness???
What is she known for?
That's an honest question by me. I hear her name every know and again, but I have no idea what she's doing or what she did to be known
@Jehty_ Being Related to other famous People (Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner and Robert Kardashian, one of OJ's Lawyers) and making a sextape with her ex, a rapper called RayJ, and releasing it online. That started her fame, then she starred in a TV show called Keeping Up with The Kardashians. The show was popular, so now here we are.
@g@georgebull-mclean3333hanks. How did that TV show came to be?
A TV show with her name on it is a big deal, isn't it? And the things you listed don't seem like something you would get a TV show for. So how did she get that TV show?
I really hate that any member of that family gets any publicity ever for any reason.
London solicitor here. Mahogany office? I’m lucky if I get a door!
Everyday I'm working on homework for my paralegal courses, I just keep telling myself "I am more of a lawyer than Kim Kardashian"
At some point, the trope of "everything in a contract is automatically legally binding forever no takesies backsies" starts to feel malicious. Its almost like, super-wealthy producer types have a vested interest in the working class not being aware that its possible for a contract to be illegal, or something
Print that comment and put it in a time capsule. Ten years from now working class people who violate the terms of any employment contract, especially an NDA, will probably be sent to (private) prisons.
@j3i2i2yl7 this is possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever read
Or it’s just a dumb trope
@gothgammy666srsly it is not that deep. Sometimes, writers are just bad
Many people, assume that contracts, because they are written documents, follow the laws. It is already alarming for regular people but it is crazy to see that from a tv show.
So according to this movie, they’re really good lawyers because they’re really good at going up to people, and offering them money in a conspiratorial seeming way?
No, more like they have the incredible fortune to be able to blackmail rich men who 1. Hire the dumbest lawyers on earth, 2. aren't smart enough to know that blackmail is illegal and 3. And weak and cowardly enough to crumple to their demands instead of reporting them for ethics violations.
@Lobsterwithinternet Either way, actually doing the work of a lawyer doesn't seem to factor in very much.
*TV show
@michaeltonus3888 To be fair to all the lawyer shows out there, the *actual* work of a lawyer mostly would not make for very interesting television. "New tonight at 9: The protagonist sits at their desk for ten hours, drinking too much coffee and reading through open Westlaw tabs to compile research for a brief. You won't want to miss it!"
I'm so happy that despite everything going on in the world of actual law, you've had a treat of getting to do something light-hearted like this.
Sorry, i fail to comprehend how this is light-hearted … ugh!!!
@PlanetC64 The review is light hearted , even if the show might not be.
I had the opposite reaction, "With everything going on in the world, you subjected yourself to _this?"_
The show's tagline is 'No settlements' to make it's characters seem so badass. Then on the first case of the first episode they make a settlement. Wow.
(3:11) The reason legal TV shows like "The Good Wife" have a "private investigator" on the staff is that you have to have someone arriving with new evidence in order to resolve the episode by the 42-minute mark. One lawyer can't write the briefs and find the evidence and solve the case--unless you spread a single case out Lincoln-Lawyer-style. There's only so many shows like that we can have at any time. The "in-house" investigator is a MacGuffin finder that prevents the audience from saying, "How could one person know that many facts?". They are the equivalent to the Abby character from "NCIS" or the Greg Sanders character from "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation".
I think it also helps to add a layer between the sketchiness of the PI and the filtered information given to lawyers. it made a little more sense in the good wife for Kalinda to be in house but also yeah she was unrealistically effective. She did flip about how much the jury consultant was paid so maybe she should have been a contractor.
@AM-tl1xi First of all, I agree with everything you said. Adding on, The Good Wife was a subtle and clever way for two women to boost each other up in an industry dominated by men. Yes, Kalinda has the omniscience a Hollywood writer needs to fit everything into 42-minutes, but her willingness to do extraordinary things to get extraordinary information changes what would normally be deus ex machina into something more realistic because the viewer can say in their own mind, "If she's willing to do THAT to get THIS piece of information, then I guess everything she appears to just 'know' was gotten in a similar fashion." and that improves the episodes.
@WifeWantsAWizard The Good Wife was really good at layered female characters. When I saw this reaction, Glenn Close’s character reminded me of a flattened Diane. I absolutely agree with you too! Kalinda becomes less effective when people catch on to her tactics, like the stay at home PI.
Mostly this show made me wish for them to face an actually competent and snarky divorce attorney like David Lee. They had me rooting for men!
That initial crashout ONLY makes sense if you assume that the characters know that Kim Kardashian is the protagonist and that everything she touches will turn to gold...
I think a far better plot would have been SP’s character staying at the firm and rising to the top, and using her status as a major and established law firm to act as a foil to the up and coming firm the MC’s are a part of. Like, it makes sense every awful man would have a legacy firm behind them, so the women they screw over would need to seek out a non-traditional firm to fight for them. It’s right there! Such easy and established David and Goliath scenarios that make the MCs look even better when they constantly win.
Me thinks Kim K studied for the bar by watching court dramas.
In 2025, I watched on youtube a real-life trial of a Boston lady, Karen Read, who was accused of murdering her cop BF. I learnt quite a bit. If I was studying for the bar, this would be a good way to do it IMO. It was a huge court drama! He had died from a blow to the back of the head causing his brain to swell & fatally his brain went down the hole in our skulls where the spinal cord is. The cops claimed she had reversed her SUV into him at 25 mph but he didn't have a bruise on him.
She would fail too so hard. Because there’s so much more on the test that just: criminal, constitutional, divorce (which she knows first hand), and civil litigation. It’s actually pathetic she calls herself one
She shouldn't have skipped My Cousin Vinny...
It's wild that they live in LA and in entertainment industry and couldn't find a writer or director or even a consultant lawyer to make this watchable.
Because any one of those things would have ruined the fantasy Kim had about the show.
Yeah whoever sells their soul to make Kims make believe Barbie becomes a lawyer pretend play time dream come true.
Imagine writing as she stands over your shoulders pitching cool things she imagines lawyers do and say because she probably studied for the Bar with a picture book.
or literally any dissenting voice from cast or crew to ask "hey guys, isn't this just extortion?"
It's supposed to be fun, just like bridgerton is not a historically accurate show. It's fantasy
@sideshowmob committing crimes that would get someone disbarred probably isn't the best fantasy to push on a law show... It's definitely fantasy, it's just not good fantasy. I feel like the character is winning because the writer said so, not because they are in any way an interesting character.
"this guy is a billionaire, presumably hes got other things to do" meanwhile the richest man on earth is tweeting 12 hours a day
6:51 "Maybe you can find someone in London" - The Inns of Court. You can find hundreds of them. Barristers have offices like that; solicitors (who aren't based in the Inns of Court but generally work for firms in, and here's the key, significantly newer buildings) don't.
24:40 "It's called a Fourway."
You have my undivided attention, Devin.
I'd like a fourway with Devin please.
@Random84530 I'm CIS as hell, but I'd sure question myself. 😁😁
No, Devin, I will not sleep with you. But I appreciate being asked. 😎
I’ll give it to the show: that edit of the woman walking with her bag and the cut to being on the private plane and putting the bag down? CRISP
Yeah that was a slick shot
Kim: “This weekend, we’re studying. Flashcards and mimosas.”
Real legal professionals: “This weekend, we’re looking at every case decided between 1962 and 1984 that concerns one obscenely convoluted provision of State law. Coffee from Friday and whatever takeout is fastest.”
I'm really struggling to even understand why their legal research would involve flashcards lmao. Obviously that's her experience...you know, studying for the bar. Where memorizing random details is important. You don't need to memorize every case you are reviewing or anything, you need to take out what is relevant and contextualize it, what possible benefit would flash cards give her?!
@Tinil0 - the thing is we usually forget everything. 4 months ago, LE taught me Every song has at least 2 rights attached to it: 1) the composition 2) the master recording. I made flashcards & have a software that tests me regularly. Without this, I definitely would've forgotten. But I imagine top lawyers know the law in their speciality so thoroughly they don't need to do this.
Reminds me of architecture studies and being told how common it is to be working on a big project where it's 3am and the team is running on Coca Cola, coffee and takeaway pizzas.
I can attest to this. Seen it so many times at the various law firms I've worked for.
@UKmanlovesgoddesses If your memory is that bad, you might want to see a doctor about that. I have ADHD and I don't even have that level of memory problems, and I can barely remember what I do from day to day
I did watch the first episode. I’m no lawyer, I’m a theatrical costume designer. I described it to a friend as “the clothes are fun. The script is crushingly boring, and everyone is acting like they are in a completely different show.”
It’s very fun to see how all the law stuff is as bad as the script.
9:40 Bigger problem is that it punishes her for leaving. Nobody’s going to want to enforce a prenup that makes a spouse stay in a miserable marriage
Glenn Close and Naomi Watts, what the hell are you doing?!
Collecting a paycheck. It better be used to buy a great house.
Right? I used to like them
I mean I can see Naomi Watts as she's been in a lot of not great stuff the past decade and his hurting for work; but I just saw Glenn Close absolutely kill it in Wake Up Dead Man; and she doesn't need to slum it up for a paycheck so idk why she was in the show.
Right?! 😭
@osirisatot19 There is no such phrase as "slum it up."
I heard that this show was unforgivably unwatchable, but Kim Kardashian acting in scenes against Glen Close, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson is like a dog trying to win a dogfight against a fighter jet.
That is a pretty accurate description. It’s so god awful, that it’s actually more of a comedy xD.
Every character is deeply unlikable, Sarah Paulsons character is the best of the worst tbh. And she swears at and insults them the entire 4 episodes xD.
@ImTrIgGeREddI was noticing, the Shakesperean insults she was throwing at them were the fun parts.
You heard right. I couldn't even make it to 10 minutes. It's awful.
Those dialogues are clunkyyyyyyy
Maclunky.
@Volvagia1927🤌🏼
You know the writing is bad when even people who think the phrase "those dialogues" is grammatical are criticizing it...
The Ryan Murphy special
@Massangler1856 "Dialogue" is a countable noun when you mean "a written conversation", which is a reasonable meaning here. (It's also the original meaning of the word "dialogue".) It does feel awkward and is probably not the best choice, but it's not grammatically incorrect.
wait till you get to the part where kim forges her exs signature, and then admits it to her ex, his lawyers, and the mediator during mediation and completely gets away with it!
She definitely Binged Suits and was like "omg I can do that"
12:47 no shit she failed with ChatGPT, any proper lawyer could have told her that would happen
Like *anyone could have told her that would happen 😭
I’m convinced ChatGPT set her up for laughs. You know whatever data she submitted has been stored wherever the data goes for learning
Who needs “any proper lawyer” when you have fortune tellers and ChatGPT 😂
It would have been interesting to see her get serious about something... This wasn't it 😂 and ChatGPT agreed
Yet RUclipsrs ask it legal questions daily and completely misinform millions of people!
That final grade was exceptionally generous.
thought that as well. Assuming the grading is meant to be similar to school grading, D+ is still (barely) passing. I thought he would have failed All's Fair on account of the unethical and illegal things he pointed out.
My only read for how Niecy Nash ended up on this show was that she read the script and it was so ridiculous she thought they were doing Reno 911 but with lawyers.
or the pay is just real good & with both Kris Jenner & Kim Kardashian being listed as executive producers there might be reason to believe that there's longevity to it as surely Kim wants to keep playing lawyer for multiple seasons?
but the ridiculousness probably also plays part
The real crime is the script the gave Niecy. I’ve seen her shine on screen. She looks like an amateur here with this clunky writing and bad direction.
Making George Lucas look like Spielberg.
Underrated comment.
According to Wikipedia, she's an executive producer on this, so clearly it's more than that
Glad to see Legal Eagle setting time aside to do fun stuff on the channel.
'This weekend we're studying. Flashcards and mimosas' you know what really helped me study when I was in school? Cocktails. Really clear up the mind.
Thanks for reminding me that the entire United States justice system has been reduced to celebrity cameo and who can construct the most corrupt language while billing $1250 an hour.
Can we all agree as a society, to just start ignoring every Kardashian? I'm trying my best, but I can't do it alone. We all have to agree to make them go away.
I'm with you. I've been trying to ignore them to death for years!
Being an absolute nerd, I had no idea the Kardashians existed for quite a while. When I started hearing their names on the news, I actually thought everyone was suddenly taking an interest in Star Trek and talking about (and slightly mispronouncing) the current enemy species, Cardassians. What people were saying about this occupying force made no sense, but nerds-in-training make mistakes. No biggie. SMH
I want to go back to those days.
I've been an avid ignorer since the beginning. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. Why would you want to watch bad people spend more money than you make in a year on a new outfit?
Don’t watch them. Do not grasp why anyone would. They’re not movie stars. They’re not really in anything. Why do people have any desire to watch a show about their family? Being wealthy isn’t entertaining. I really do not get it.
I'm with you.
This show broke him 😳😳😂😂
20:46 In NY, interspousal gifts are marital property, not the separate property of the recipient. Of course, the prenup would control.
weird law.
@jendee1260I think it’s to avoid disputes later about whether something was a gift to the spouse individually or to the marriage.
Pleaseee, my face when it got to the end and I realized this was all only the first episode lmaooo
Trying to make sense out of nonsense will raise your blood pressure fast
Kim Ks Lawyer Fantasy show is somehow more fictional and ridiculous than She-Hulk.
Oh god! You monster!
Why must you remind me that show exists?
I strongly disagree. I'd much rather watch this than She Hulk.
Holy!! I've never seen such Amazing Actors DEMOLISHED by bad writing SO quickly! Those snippets were PAINFUL to watch...
At least the writing was bad enough it made Kim Kardashian’s acting have somewhat of an excuse to be so bad
Work is work? Pay is pay?
This show looks like an SNL sketch about this show.
I installed a data service for a law firm in those buildings. One of my favorite customers, we were the back up to the back up to the back up service. IT guy said "They have 27 high powered lawyers moving into this office, I am getting every possible internet service available because I do NOT want that call." Having worked on the phones doing IT, I know exactly the call he was talking about - let's just say, if you have the money, get the back up because you don't want to deal with a stressed out lawyer if their internet goes out.
1:30 Objection! She knows they're awful. By encouraging them to leave, she's serving her fiduciary responsibility.
Certainly protecting them from getting entangled in an extortion scandal...
And also no need to give them severance either. It's the cheapest way to fire someone, make them think they should leave.
It's true. The men in the firm have been there running it successfully for years and the women who complained about not being taken seriously proved not only that they should not be taken seriously, but that giving them responsibilities with ANY weight could have resulted in the firm getting shut down completely.
@vlo4829I think you're too enthusiastic about this
@vlo4829 Quick hint: if your statement can be rephrased without reference to gender and still have the same meaning, it is pretty much guaranteed to be sexist. Even if my autocorrect thinks that word doesn't exist (rather disturbing). Yes, the show itself has a strong bias by design, and sets up something unrealistic, but when talking about comparable realistic scenarios it isn't appropriate.
And we kept wondering why Kim Kardashian was repeatedly failing the bar exam.
She only failed the bar once. She's "studying" to take it again. What she failed multiple times was the baby bar - failed three times and finally got it on the fourth.
29:41 - oh you haven't seen the whole season. It gets worse.
It gets worse! I was struggling to watch as little of it as was shown in this.
How does it get anny worse than this?!?
@lizzten9490trust me it does. It goes completely off the rails. 😭 It's honestly some of the more deplorable sh*t I've seen on TV
@Evil_Angelicaow shit.
Have you?! I’m so morbidly curious…
This is obviously one of those shows where the protagonists are the villains.
D+ seems VERY generous given the fact that she broke the law several times on her lawyer show...
What hurts the most is seeing actual good actors be part of this trainwreck. I hope the bag was worth it.
Never seen the show but from the few clips this really does seem like wild fantasy rather than something mirroring reality.
1000% a power woman fantasy shitting on men constantly as we are weak slaves to women. It's totally absurd in every way. The lawyers constantly are breaking laws and ethics of all kinds. It's actually insane.
I'm waiting for the episode they get super powers.
@hamsandwichmasterThey just need a Trump pardon
Just self-insert fanfiction with a high enough budget to get professionals. Honestly if she’d kept this as a home movie as a rich person vanity project to enjoy it would be whatever.
8:30 Kim. Kim would definitely be the kind of person more concerned with the money than actually being a good lawyer.
Same thing to Kim--- no difference between having a lot of money and being good at something.
C’mon man, that’s on the writers.
I can’t see how kims legal adventures are going to enrich her at all, she sunk a ton of time and money into becoming an attorney seemingly for fun. While she was at it she was using her influence to get people pardoned.
She’s definitely vein but I don’t think she thinks that.
The only reason she pursued law was to help with wrongfully convicted innocent people in jail, and hope her publicity would draw attention to those cases (public pressure is crucial in cases like that). If she cared about money, she didn't have to go to law school at all, or even care about this, but rather used her time creating more businesses and making $1 million sponsored IG posts.
You can't blame an actor for a show being poorly written. Am I the only person in the world who sees a celeb pursuing something and doesn't actively hope for their downfall?? lmao. These types of shows were never my cup of tea like ofc they are corny but to single out one actor is unfair.
Not to mention, her being open and honest with her struggles with law school and the exam, I find INSPIRING. No one is perfect.
I also don't like how Devon? is naming the characters by their actors names, it just gives more fuel to people who don't know what acting is to hate on the individual playing the character.
@00shivaniCounterpoint, all the Kardashians suck and Kim is a bad actor.
@SupremeFenix274 miserable person detected, counterpoint invalidated
Kim's affected vocal fry is driving me nuts
God, yes 🤮
26:23 LegalEagle is a freak in the sheets fr fr 👌🏾
What did LegalEagle do to deserve this Christmas Tragedy?
As if you would want an inhouse investigator anyway... an investigator you can sell to a jury as 'independant' is a lot more valuable than "oh yeah he works for us". Also liablity should they cross any lines during their investigation probably works out a lot better having that extra bit of distance.
This. It would have been so much more profitable for the investigator to stay independent and just work with them on a contractual basis.
15:47 OBJECTION!!! the person pictured in the plane is inaccurate, Tom would be traveling in his blimp.
I like how you don't say their character names; they're just addressed as the actresses' names
More of this please!! Most times it's just informative but this is entertaining.
@8:31 Alas, "who wrote this?" is an all-too frequent utterance in Hollywood...but still not frequent enough.
So... I got falsely accused of being someone's cameraman on a clip from penguinz0 YT channel.
🥱
Screenshotted and left on RUclips's Facebook page.
Ask me why I shouldn't be pissed off?
The plus on the D was generous king 😂
D+ is charitable... ;P I think brain cells died while watching the CLIPS of the show.
"If you choose to keep fighting Grace, then that feeling is just the tip. It'll be so much more painful the deeper we go." What a wonderful innuendo for the circumstances. I'm surprised he didn't call out how cheesy that was.
5:44 "I'm going to leave this job and start my own firm!" "Yes, that was always an option."
5:38 burns all bridges for no reason and then getting terminal case of overconfidence... that's top trump lawyer material right there we will see her in the next trial
Can we do just one thing and not involve Trump? We are really getting sick of making everything about him... The horse is dead. Stop beating it
I like how this channel went from teaching about the legal system to twisting it till you can use it to attack trump.
I just goes to show you there is a set of laws for people the system likes and another set for the people it doesnt.
@bennettgrimm2618the system loves trump thats why he got away with all his crimes with no consequences so you are right.
@dr.blockcraft6633 except u don't realize that your bringing power and influence to said person. Congrats
@ody9931 hey a youtube comment isn't bringing power to trump, its the uneducated and the financial grifters who did that
Is this ... A FUN video on Legal Eagle??? 💜💜💜
7:02 no I’m an interior designer there is at least one lawyer who’s office looks like this
Trust me it was weird being there
6:55 😂 our first office was an old bank that still had floor to ceiling wood in my office from the 90s. We still had the drive through window too
4:30 what is this character? A lawyer this whiny throwing a tantrum?? Did a teenager write this?
Glen to two attorneys: “I accept your resignation.”
Another attorney: “HOW DARE YOU?!”
Shoulda had a “legal sin counter” like CinemaSins
It shouldn’t. It’s doing fine without any reminder of the Sins channels.
@Ultrabalor Agreed - the less I hear about the Sins channels, the better. Absolute RUclips garbage.
@Phobos_Anomaly The videos proving why the Sins channels are terrible are better than the channels themselves.
@Ultrabalor I much prefer CinemaWins anyway. Love me some positivity
@masonclark8319 It helps that it shows effort in making the videos unlike the Sins channels whose videos are obvious rush jobs.
She hulk at least had the excuse that no one involved had an understanding of the Law, this time one of the actors had at least TRIED to pass the bar exam
I laughed pretty hard at this comment .
Thanks for coming back to the series where you give legal analysis of movies
I miss these from you, Devin! Please do more!
Second hand embarrassment 🫣
No second hand wages tho 😔
Lol wouldnt a large amount of billable hours just indicate sarah paulson is really good at finnessing her clients and not necessarily being a good lawyer
The characters don’t care about being good lawyers, just about making millions $$$.
So, in the world of the show, billable hours matter.
@Andreamom001fair enough i suppose, i think im starting to understand why Kim failed the BAR
From the perspective of a major Law firm a large amount of billable hours is the definition of a "good" lawyer, maybe even an excellent one, possibly even partner material. Read John Grisham novels if you haven't highly recommended.
@Andreamom001 but the bosses do so Glenn Close letting her go would never happen the most, in a show full of things that never happen.
Given the amount of blackmail they do in the first episode alone...
I think more people watched Devin analysing this than the episode itself. 😆
fr, I'd never even heard of the show.
Don't kid yourself.
Netflix garbage draws a lot of eyeballs.
I LOVE watching reviews and critiques of shows/movies I have not and probably would not watch. This was no exception. FASCINATING!!! Thank you Legal Eagle! 🦅
