While the premise of the show is great, it doesn't take 9 seasons to get to the bottom of Liz's Mommy/Daddy issues. A few important ethical topics are incorporated into the show along with a few unabashedly violent episodes that the show could frankly have done without. (No spoilers.)
James Spader and Hisham Tawfiq are remarkable in their roles, as are Amir Arison, Harry Lennix, Mozhan Marnò, Diego Klattenhoff and Ryan Eggold. The diversity of the cast and array of guest appearances (including Huey Lewis!!!) is impressive. The lackluster Megan Boone is basically an older Kristen Stewart (Twilight) because of her whiny, lackluster acting style. It's uncertain whether that's how her character is written up, whether that's simply what Boone brings to the table (or a little of both).
Funny? One season features Reg Rogers (the frustrated playwright from Friends). (No spoilers, but he plays opposite Boone for the greater part of the season and the irony isn't lost.)
