Writing for Vulture last week, critic Margaret Lyons called for a new era in romantic comedy that plays out on the small screen.
“TV
has a long, proud history of will-they-or-won’t-they relationships, and
it’s easy to imagine a new wave of that as just when-will-they,” she

shifting the focus: Instead of a lawyer show where characters happen to
fall in love, it’s a love show where characters happen to be lawyers. We
have so many lawyer shows. Can’t one of them be this?”
