Watch Harry's Law: David E. Kelley Makes Another Win

David E. Kelley wins again with a drama about lawyers.
"Harry's Law" is smart, funny and has heart. I've caught up on the first 3 episodes and I have to say, I'm glad I did. Kathy Bates stars in the show and has a unique character [not uncommon for Kathy Bates] that realizes she is the wrong type of lawyer one day and begins defending the people that need it.
Her character Harriet Korn is witty, quirky, smart and contains this ability to make some outrageous but very humorous remarks. The sub-characters work quite well but I do have one complaint.
What is the point of Brittany Snow's character? She worked as Harriet's secretary for the previous lawyer job and then opens the new Harriet's Law and Shoes with her just because she can sell shoes. It is just a little unnecessary.
Nathan Corddry's character, Adam Branch, is also a big plus. His character already has a good storyline going for him as well as being very entertaining in his court room scenes.
The heart and humor of this show is why I already like it so much. With some more depth to Brittany Snow's character I think this show can go far - and hopefully last longer than "Boston Legal".

The show is on NBC on Mondays following "The Cape".
