"Outlaw" Review: Is Jimmy Smits' New Show a Hit or a Miss?

Image via Wikipedia

I only gave "Outlaw" a look because of Jimmy Smits, I won't make that mistake again.Sadly, I can no longer depend on his presence to mean great acting on TV. Not even close.

The trailers for "Outlaw" did not really entice me. Probably the lamest premise in the history of network TV. Smits plays a conservative supreme court judge moved to return to law as a defense attorney for those wrongly accused. That's not the lame part (it's the unbelievable television part). What's lame is the liberal soapbox Smit's character gets on, and won't get off. Even Smits seems to not like it.

Daniel Fienberg gave the best review of the first two episodes and left little else for me to add. Read it here: TV Review: Jimmy Smits in NBC's 'Outlaw'

My rating: Skip it!

Did you watch "Outlaw"? What did you think?
