The show lost me when the boss was on the stand during CE by a defense attorney, and he attacked the attorney by pointing out he was wearing imitation jewelry, second hand shoes and his cell was going off every 15 minutes, all of which indicated a gambling addiction which turned out to be true. He got all of that from a few minutes in the courtroom No one is that good, no one.
