September 20, 2019
A better-than-average light drama, sans stridency, with a strong cast and considerable potential for exploring themes of substance.
September 23, 2019
The tone is all wrong for this legal yarn.
September 23, 2019
All Rise at least tries to be entertaining, in the seriocomic earnest-meets-silly style of second-tier David E. Kelley. And there's a genuine star performance from Simone Missick.
September 23, 2019
All Rise could settle down and concentrate on the two people who make the show work - Missick and Helgenberger - but it is just as likely to become a generic courtroom drama that tries too hard to be funny.
September 23, 2019
As it stands, this courtroom drama has the feel of the kind of show CBS develops well, a lightly serialized episodic diversion structured around open-and-shut cases and carried by a solid lead.
September 23, 2019
Its main conviction seems to be that judges should function not as neutral arbiters of the law but as assistants to defense lawyers and that empathy, rather than evidence, should govern judicial outcomes.
September 20, 2019
Nothing you'll see rises to any level of must-see. Instead it's all pretty much preachy and pedestrian, with the diversity of the cast working against itself in terms of this show's labored approach to injustice and discrimination.
