Developed from an original concept by Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger, the team behind Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries series and The Gods of Wheat Street, Newton's Law centres around Josephine Newton, a suburban solicitor with an over-developed sense of responsibility who attempts to return to her briefly glorious stint at the Bar.
Characters are caricatures, which is probably suppose to be funny, but it isn't. Newton's Law fails as both comedy and a drama (non-existent anyway). Script is two-bit clichés thrown together. There are so many law shows, to stand out you have to come up with something innovative (or excel on old and improved), this show has none of it.
Save your valuable time for something worthwhile, this isn't it.
4/10, and I'm being generous.
