Attorney's Office Roger Gunn (Ben Shenkman) does not cut them much slack. Their frosty chief of the Criminal Division in the U.S. Contrasting their determined optimism are their cohorts in the prosecutor’s office, including the smug and confident Leonard (Regé-Jean Page), the by-the-book and overly rules-adherent Kate (Susannah Flood), and Seth (Ben Rappaport), a clean-cut white guy who looks the part of a man expecting the world to be handed to him. The ensemble cast doesn’t include any starkly morally ambiguous characters like Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope on "Scandal," or Viola Davis’ Annalise Keating from “How to Get Away With Murder.” Instead, Davies returns to the root of it all, patterning its storyline development after the earliest version of “Grey’s Anatomy.”Īt the core of the story are six ambitious and green lawyers working on opposite sides of the aisle at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, known as “the Mother Court.” Three are public defenders, with the remainder working for the prosecution.īritt Robertson plays Sandra, a passionate and determined crusader working as a public defender alongside her best friend Allison (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and a bumbling, friendly underdog named Jay (Wesam Keesh). on ABC, the legal drama utilizes a number of quintessentially Rhimesian devices while eschewing others.
This includes Paul William Davies, a writer on “Scandal” whose creation “For the People” follows the formula while sneaking in a public service. She’s also passed along her signature recipe to a few producers who’ve proven able to replicate it. You can recognize a Shondaland product when you see it. She discovered a storytelling architecture that translates well to any number of scenarios - torrid love affairs, strong female friendships, complex male characters that we can’t decide whether to slap or to bang. Seriously, you have to give it up for her ingenuity.
