Benched Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Benched Premiered on USA Network on October 28, 2014



Benched centers on Nina (Eliza Coupe), a dedicated, career driven corporate attorney who has a very public nervous breakdown after getting passed up for an expected promotion and finds herself working as a public defender. Her personal and professional worlds are turned upside down when she joins the ranks of the legal world’s underdogs and very quickly realizes that the law isn’t quite as fair as she once thought.

1x01 Pilot

Nina's former fiancé gets engaged to another woman and also being passed over for a promotion was a bad day but after that meltdown I'm not surprised she works for the public defenders office and now working with her former fiancé should be amusing

Yeah you could understand why she had to work at public defenders but amount comedy from situation of her clients is going to be very amusing . I don't think actress is good fit for the role it would been better if they choose someone why actually look innocent .

She really can't get a break can she thinking speech at gala was prove she can mature person but finding out during gala that her ex was actually cheating on her with that women was bad timing
