On The Air: All Rise (2019)

Yankee fans, this ain't for you.

All Rise, a brand new courtroom drama on CBS, has nothing to do with Yankee star Aaron Judge, although his very name lent itself to the well known courtroom command to become part of the baseball lexicon, at least in New York, two years ago.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, it's time to focus on this show, which is not your normal courtroom drama.

The focus is on newly minted judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick, ex-Luke Cage), a former deputy district attorney who now moves to the bench in a prominent Los Angeles court. First up, as shown in the following trailer, is the case of a pregnant woman accused of burglary. In the meantime, DDA Mark Callan (Wilson Bethel, fresh from Daredevil) is matched with a defendant acting as his own defense attorney.

All Rise also stars Jessica Camacho (ex-The Flash) as a defense attorney.



One week, and I'm hooked.

Rating: A.
