iMonrey February 23, 2024 Share February 23, 2024 This was a fun bottle episode taking place entirely in the courthouse. It was a little hard to follow at first, but I appreciate its ambition. It's odd that Allison is such a sad sack. She was even before her divorce. They seem to be doubling down on that and I'm not sure what to make of it. But it really worked this episode for the sake of comedy. This is just such a fun, cleverly written show. I don't have a lot to say about it beyond how much I enjoy it. I hope the ratings are good. 13 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143419-s02e02-your-day-in-court/#findComment-8293937
Sarah 103 February 23, 2024 Share February 23, 2024 I really enjoyed seeing all of the different storylines play out within the courthouse over a single day in this episode.

shapeshifter February 23, 2024 Share February 23, 2024 (edited) Caution: Way too complicated to watch if you're sleepy. Like old school Perry Mason. I want Gus's sandwich for lunch. Why wasn't Margaret defending Allison in traffic court? Didn't Margaret's ex go to Iceland because he has a terminal illness and wanted to live out his last days there (for some reason)?? Or was that a lie and and he was just running off with another woman???

Gregg247 February 23, 2024 Share February 23, 2024 Very fun episode. It seems like the producers are settling in with this show and getting creative with the stories and the characters. They know what they have with the show and where they want to take it, and I'm happy to be along for the ride. This was the first time I actually liked Todd's sister. She was such a downer last season; at least now she's still a downer, but in a more entertaining way. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143419-s02e02-your-day-in-court/#findComment-8294256
proserpina65 February 23, 2024 Share February 23, 2024 While the courthouse employee part of me was going "That's not how jury selection works!", the rest of this episode was so entertaining that it ended up not bothering me one whit.

Well, for one thing Margaret had a much more important case at the exact same time, defending murder suspects. For another thing, people in traffic court don't typically have lawyers.

My guess is that Allison does not want her mother to know what a complete and total mess her life is. This may be my favorite episode of the series so far. I loved Allison thinking/overthinking the puppets after she testified as an expert witness. This is what the series should be. It is the spiritual successor to Psych not some gritty CBS procedural drama. 6 2 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143419-s02e02-your-day-in-court/#findComment-8294413

MerBearHou February 24, 2024 Share February 24, 2024 (edited) I just love this show and concur with @Sarah 103, it’s the “spiritual successor of Psych” which was such a delightful, unique series. SHMT has a fun and very talented cast, great energy, good cases. I was glad to see Carlo Marks as the husband — I have always enjoyed him in his Hallmark roles. Only nitpick is that I would tone down the Dastardly Beverly / Disney Villain persona — it’s just cartoonish.

Daff February 24, 2024 Share February 24, 2024 Yeah, I really don’t get what they’re trying to convey with her persona/screen presence. It’s as if she’s on a bit too much Valium or something. Everything she does/says seems in slow motion, she never changes facial expression, and her “needs” for the practice are rather narrow/single minded. Her attempts to foist the financial pressures onto the staff are rather menacing. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/143419-s02e02-your-day-in-court/#findComment-8295322

I honestly thought they were the same character. Other than their hair being curly and around the same age they don't really look alike.
