On Wednesday August 31st, CTV aired the season premiere of a new show called Justice. I watched it with my mom and I was quite impressed. It was like CSI and Law & Order combined! One little thing I liked about it was the actors weren't like eye-poppingly hot that they totally distracted you from the show itself. They were normal-looking people which made it seem more realistic. We just finished watching the 2nd episode tonight and were satisfied again! This is truely a series that is bound to last for more than 1 season [unlike most of the shows nowadays] :D:up:

About the show
From Jerry Bruckheimer, executive producer of CSI and Without a Trace comes Justice, an unflinching, behind-the-scenes look at how high-profile cases are tried in these media-saturated times.
Set in Los Angeles, the entertainment and high-profile trial capital of the world, Justice centers on four brilliant lawyers who, together, tackle the cases that captivate the country and provide compelling fodder for everything from water cooler chit-chat to tabloid glossies to 24-hour news channels.
Combining their unique skill sets and personal charisma with the most cutting-edge forensic technology, these lawyers are a formidable presence in any courtroom. When the stakes are as high as they can be, you want Trott, Nicholson, Tuller and Graves in your corner.
Ron Trott (Victor Garber) is the face seen on every media talk show in the country -- and he wants it that way. He's great at landing a client, spinning a case and getting his way, but juries hate him. It was his inspiration and win-at-all-cost mentality that brought this group of brilliant, ego-driven attorneys together.
Standing behind Ron -- as far away from the cameras as possible -- is Tom Nicholson (Kerr Smith), considered the "all-American face of not guilty." Nebraska born-and-bred, Tom is a brilliant litigator whose everyman, earnest manner makes him Ron's alter ego. Trials are won and lost on the art of battle in the courtroom, and Tom is a master of his domain.
Luther Graves (Eamonn Walker) is a former prosecutor-turned-defense lawyer. A leader in the African-American community, he is well-connected, politically motivated and in possession of an uncanny ability to take a step back and assess the merits of a case from both the prosecution's and the defense's perspective -- anticipating the story each side will tell.
Alden Tuller (Rebecca Mader) is young, ambitious and capable of tackling the most complex forensic and legal issues and the most expert witnesses on cross-examination.
When California's most prominent residents need the best legal representation, they hire TNT&G. Even if they are convicted in the eyes of the media, led by the infotainment court show American Crime; TNT&G mounts a defense using state-of-the-art forensic interpretation, jury consultants, mock juries, experts and masterful media spin to save their clients -- no matter what the cost.
Ultimately, each episode will conclude with the series' signature epilogue. In a flashback to the scene of the crime, we see what no lawyer can ever see: what really happened, and whether Justice has been served.
