I like Bateman's narrative voice, am a fan of J.K. Simmons, and enjoy the acting and banter of Eli Baker and Lance Lim; however, the premise is a bit thin and the show quickly overdoes the abilities of Mel Fisher the main character, a blind lawyer who could give Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, a run for the money. He chops down trees with a chainsaw; he teaches his daughter to parallel park: and he leaps over other lawyers with a simple bound. And yet despite all of his abilities he somehow married Jenna Elfman who is playing the same character she did in Dharma & Greg. And I guess that might be believable given the 20 year difference in the age between Simmons and ELfman which would explain that his child bride has just always stayed a child. Why you ask? Because Simmons' character intimidates everyone with his accomplishments being blind and all thus sending his wife off to a divorce so she can find herself. Yawn.
