the format of displaying the murder even before the credits. the quirkiness… almost feigned ignorance.
that said it is different enough to be unique. the character is much more charismatic… theres all that backstory included with the murder-of-the-week. comedy is up a notch.
im only half way through the season, but its kinda great!
I’m surprised we haven’t had a “The Good Judge” spin-off with one of the former lawyer actors yet.
