When I heard that Gloria Reuben, who is unusually vibrant, talented, subtle, and gifted, had a new show, I rushed to see it. Unfortunately, the only thing Reuben has to do here is add class and ability to the mix--the writers are giving her nothing interesting, challenging, or different, and one could probably say this about several other actors on Raising the Bar. The show has none of the raucous, riotous, shameless satire or humor of Boston Legal, or even of LA Law in its heyday.. Even worse, the blonde yuppie icebitch ADA has become one of the tiredest, weariest clichés in lawyer shows, and this particular actress makes it even more loathsome. she is almost a reason never to watch the show again...
