All Rise: Series Finale

Time to find a new series. In part because of internal problems, All Rise was not renewed for a third season. So, yesterday, with help by some of the cast tweeting, was the last episode. The title of the episode was "Yeet." Okay. (Looking) Okay.

The episode had to rush some to sew things up (we found out where various people were going and the answer to at least one mystery), but it was overall enjoyable. I think a defense attorney dropping a video anonymously to the police that showed their client is guilty is probably unethical. You sometimes know that your client is factually guilty; the other side has to prove it with the evidence they have available. Also, we never received an update of the judge's plans to propose to her girlfriend. Unless I missed a ring on her finger at the end.

The show was rough at times, but was a superior effort to promote diversity and serious progressive values while believing in the ability to get justice (up to a point) in the system. Plus, it had a very good cast. And, in a recent episode, even a prosecutor that didn't seem very likeable came off as someone we can get behind, helping Luke. Good luck.
