Waiting until 2026 is too long yaar! But glad it's renewed. The courtroom scenes are so intense, reminds me of watching Indian legal dramas on TV.

As a law student in Delhi, I find this show fascinating. The legal strategies they show are quite different from Indian courtroom procedures, but the drama is universal. Looking forward to Season 2!

The chemistry between Rudy and Sarah is amazing! Though I wish they'd explore more diverse casting - would love to see some Indian or South Asian characters in legal roles too.

Great news! My whole family watches this together. The legal twists are so engaging, though sometimes the American legal system seems quite different from what we see in Indian courts.

Honestly, while I enjoy the show, I feel the pacing could be better. Some episodes drag on while important plot points get rushed. Hope Season 2 improves this aspect.
