Deep End May Be Pretty Shallow.

There seems to be a certain amount of interest in the blawgs concerning the ABC prime time series “Deep End” which premieres on Thursday night.
It seems to be Grey’s Anatomy for lawyers. Instead of interns, they stock the show with new lawyers going to work for a Wall Street lawfirm. However, the creator of the series tells the WSJ Law Blog that there will be lots of highjinx a la Grey’s Anatomy. That show managed to tell pretty good stories, and display first class writing and acting, despite the characters’ implausible penchant for serially trading bed partners. Whether Deep End can match the quality of Grey’s Anatomy remains to be seen. However, the trailers running this week don’t leave much of an impression of depth.
Oh well, its only television.
