Why does a law professor also run a high stakes law firm, expecting her entry level students to do all the leg work of a field they know nothing about? Imagine walking into your first science class, only to have the teacher yell at you for not knowing advanced quantum mechanics already, then failing you if you don't cure cancer.

Season one was SO good but honestly it went downhill pretty fast after that.

Just one of those shows that really turned me off, at some point I really didn't like the characters even though I felt invested in it, it just really turned me off.

I can't handle this anymore I got up to S02E12 and its just... bleugh I find myself checking Twitter more than watching this

Admittedly there's not a lot to like about any of the characters except the main one. She's tough, hardened and trying y to do right by everyone which is how the whole thing goes south for her. A defense attorney is supposed to protect their clients innocent or guilty, so I think a lot of the bad reviews forget that. But this is really about everyone makes bad decisions at one point or another. Do we hold someone accountable? Do they hold themselves? There's a consistent theme here and it's about good people do bad things and bad people often convince themselves they're good by being bad. There's also a lot about how vindictive we can be as a society to the way we treat strong, straight up people and how easily we turn on the people who are the most honest with us and the ones that are most protective of us. It ends with vindication (ironic how ation v ive changes a meaning so drastically). I think that's what bounces the show from an 8 to a 10. There's something cleansing about the ending being fair in a world we know often is not.
