The Firm Premiered on NBC on January 08, 2012
Picking up 10 years after the events of the 1993 feature film, this new series finds lawyer Mitch McDeere, who worked with the FBI to bring down a Memphis law firm associated with the Chicago mob, coming out of near total isolation after his family spent a decade in the Federal Witness Protection Program.
The McDeeres are ready to return to their old lives and leave the past behind them - but the mob has a long memory. Add that to Mitch's new association with another firm that may or may not be involved in something illicit, and the path ahead is dangerous and unknown. As old enemies return and new threats emerge, Mitch has no choice but to fight back if he ever hopes to return to some sense of normalcy. But can one man fight a criminal conspiracy? At least Mitch has one thing going for him: he's done it before.

Claire's comment about being screwed on a technicality was amusing considering she's a kid and her dad tried to give her pancakes for a birthday cake and that was a nice recommendation from the judge, destroying the dead kids reputation in the hope to save his client who may be guilty was sad Author: codebreaker Time: 1-9-2012 03:36 Subject: 1x02 Chapter Two
The dead kid father hiring a hit-man to kill the other kid was a surprise but that was a risky deal to keep the father out of prison and Mitchell new asociacion sound like he is only doing it for their resources for his own case and they also have their own agenda Author: bala Time: 1-9-2012 03:43 Subject: Reply 6#6 codebreaker's post
I watch both of these as one episode but it was good start but it reminds me of Damages for some reason as quite similar concept but at least we know why they hired him which is great and his journey to discover them should be interesting. .The father was lucky for that deal it could been a lot worse Author: codebreaker Time: 1-10-2012 01:30

Well i have to say this was good episode boy confessing that he accidentally ran over his girlfriend but having serial killer confess to and getting off caused another revelation 6 women he murdered but they got him at the end. Look like each episode will show more on how it got to that situation similar to Damages format. Author: codebreaker Time: 1-15-2012 09:49 Subject: Reply 9#9 bala's post
What a mistake getting the serial killer off because he confessed to the wrong killing and how tragic for the guy who run his girlfriend down Author: babysexylexy Time: 1-15-2012 16:54 Subject: reply 10#10codebrakers post
yeah but he didnt really know at the time that he was a serial killer he just felt something off about him, he did the right thing in the end Author: bala Time: 1-20-2012 11:03 Subject: Chapter Four
Well at least he got her off but impressed how they could remotely wipe the computer Author: codebreaker Time: 1-23-2012 16:14 Subject: Reply 12#12 bala's post
The remotely wipe was cleaver but trust the ladies to be busy talking at the same time and he was lucky to get a not guilty verdict but what the cop said at the lift was interesting Author: codebreaker Time: 1-30-2012 10:54 Subject: 1x05 Chapter Five
The way Ray got the key impression was amusing and the difficult case of defending Judd Grafton, a gambler wrongly accused of murder and willing to take the risk of a guilty verdict to protect his friend so the not guilty verdict was a surprise, i would of liked to of known what they got in the settlement case Author: bala Time: 2-6-2012 06:01 Subject: NBC To Finally Awaken In March, While The Firm Gets Put To Bed
Mitch McDeere can finally stop running. NBC seemed to have high hopes for their recent continuation of the John Grisham novel and hit Tom Cruise film The Firm, but it stumbled right out of the starting gate with bad reviews and a rather dire 1.4 rating for it's premiere episode. The numbers have taken a nose dive from even that low plateau in the ensuing weeks, with the most recent airing garnering less than 3 million viewers. Not too surprisingly, Entertainment Weekly is reporting that while contractual obligations will most likely require the peacock network to air all 22 episodes, the show will be shipped off to Saturday nights at 9pm beginning February 11th.
This of course means that The Firm is all but officially canceled. If Friday nights are the network "death slot", Saturdays are the embalming room. This marks the latest of a long list of failures for NBC this season (and for the last several), and while NBC will most likely recover eventually, right now they must feel like they're out on the mat as the ref counts to 8. The news isn't all bad for the network and it's viewers though.
Starting March 1st, The Firm's timeslot of Thursdays at 10pm will be filled by the much anticipated Awake Author: codebreaker Time: 2-7-2012 08:14 Subject: 1x06 Chapter Six
The Judge did sound like he was offering leniency for Mitch's client but Mitch was blindsided when his client was found guilty of assault but breaking into his chambers was a close call but the slap was amusing Author: bala Time: 2-7-2012 08:33 Subject: Reply 16#16 codebreaker's post

The way the kid flinched when his dad raised his arm would make you suspect child abuse but being his mother who abused him was different and the woman accused of kidnapping the baby was lucky considering she was framed and there was never a kidnapping. Oh! what a place to end Author: bala Time: 3-26-2012 09:52 Subject: Reply 32#32 codebreaker's post
Yep it was good place to end but it's always who don't suspect but that was tough case to prove she was innocent it's a good thing the real mother send those photos to prove the client innocence Author: bala Time: 3-26-2012 10:24 Subject: Chapter Eleven
A deathrow inmate donating his heart to victim daugher but the situation become complicated when he's a match cocktail that would kil him would heart unusable but making them shoot him so that she could have heart was amazing. Author: codebreaker Time: 3-26-2012 10:40
Wow an episode we finally got most of the story . What a way to get his client off my taking a punch Author: codebreaker Time: 4-5-2012 02:37 Subject: 1x11 Chapter Eleven
How bizarre offering his heart to his victims daughter but taking the guard and then Mitch hostage in the hope of dying by firing squad was impressive and the vest to protect the heart was brilliant Author: codebreaker Time: 4-5-2012 03:39 Subject: 1x12 Chapter Twelve
What the program on Sarah's laptop could do was disturbing and now knowing shes not the only one killing is going to be interesting but her dying in her cell was predictable knowing they was listening to their conversation Author: bala Time: 4-15-2012 09:20 Subject: Chapter Thirteen
Well that was quite mission impossible episode trying find the evidenceAuthor: bala Time: 4-21-2012 23:31 Subject: Chapter fourteen

I actually feel bad for the bad guy you could understand his reasons and when we found what motive was it was rather sad.Author: codebreaker Time: 5-11-2012 08:16 Subject: 1x13 Chapter Thirteen
How ironic the FBI agent blaming the McDeere's for his guy getting shot after he ignored him but the live feed of them taking his wife should make things interesting Author: codebreaker Time: 5-11-2012 09:45 Subject: 1x14 Chapter Fourteen
I'm glad that Abby was the one who got justice for her own torture and Terrance is behaving like a man possessed and all because he is responsible for his agent getting shot Author: codebreaker Time: 5-11-2012 10:29 Subject: 1x15 Chapter Fifteen
They should go for the death penalty after killing 117 patients and you have to be impressed with Alex for covering her ass from being held responsible for her part, Abby should give evidence about her torture but witnessing Andrew's murder is a good start Author: codebreaker Time: 5-11-2012 13:47 Subject: 1x16 Chapter Sixteen
It's a shame Mitch had to find out about Abby's torture in court instead of from her and disappointed Kevin took the easy way out Author: bala Time: 5-21-2012 06:38 Subject: Chapter Eighteen
Well i have say i didn't expect that sort ending with him asking for representation Author: codebreaker Time: 6-3-2012 23:47 Subject: 1x17 Chapter Seventeen
The young woman that was charged with solicitation was lucky considering she was a drug mule and what a risky move getting the judge to rule them inadmissible but using the drug money as a bargaining tool was ingenious Author: codebreaker Time: 6-4-2012 00:30 Subject: 1x18 Chapter Eighteen
Abby mother was a strange woman trying to set her up with the Dr but kissing him when Claire could of seen was risky and Mitch's client was did seem to have a temper but glad he turned out not to be the killer

It was nice to see Abby and her mother getting along but it's a shame she couldn't get the missing ledger and going home was great Author: bala Time: 6-12-2012 05:32 Subject: Chapter Twenty
Well finding out that he paid her off was a surprise but saving his life was also a surprise Author: codebreaker Time: 6-21-2012 01:30 Subject: Reply 51#51 bala's post
Abby did a great job with copying the file and a close call dropping it back on the desk and Abby refusing to go after the first victim knowing what's on stake was interesting but what happened after the toilet conversation was a surprise Author: codebreaker Time: 6-21-2012 02:14 Subject: 1x21 Chapter Twenty-One
Tammy withholding sex until she is married was romantic and Patrick's case is starting to look like he was framed professionally but Joey going of the rails and admitting he killed his man is going to make life interesting, the Beatles question to the last juror was amusing Author: bala Time: 6-21-2012 02:48 Subject: Reply 53#53 codebreaker's post
I couldn't think of a comment for this episode but almost deafing him was scary and i liked what he said that he made him take over his father business and he didn't want to and now same to him was one hell of a payback but at least he not dead Author: codebreaker Time: 7-9-2012 05:16 Subject: 1x22 Chapter Twenty-Two
What a shame Tammy and Ray were so close to getting married until the car alarm spoilt it but glad they got there in the end and with this being the last episode which is disappointing considering the FBI and the Mob were working together but we will never know what happens next
