Fairly Legal has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on Peacock Premium. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Sarah Shahi — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Peacock Premium.

Fairly Legal is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The jokes in Fairly Legal land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Kate Reed is a firm believer that justice can always be found – even if it's not always in the courtroom. Once a lawyer at her family's esteemed San Francisco firm, Kate's frustration with the legal system led her to a new career as a mediator. Thanks to her innate understanding of human nature, thorough legal knowledge, and wry sense of humor, Kate is a natural when it comes to dispute resolution. Between them, Sarah Shahi and Michael Trucco carry the comedy without ever forcing it. 2 seasons (2011–2012) gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Fairly Legal holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Fairly Legal respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to For the People will find a lot to like here too. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Sarah Shahi sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Fairly Legal was cancelled in 2012, created by Michael Sardo — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
