3 'best’ and ‘worst' new TV shows for families this fall: Parents Television Council
“All Rise”
CBS’ new drama series premiered last Monday. The show focuses on the main character Lola Carmichael (played by Simone Missick), who is making the transition from Los Angeles prosecutor to judge.
Despite earning the judgeship, Carmichael learns that her new position comes with several problems.
“Lola is intimidated by her new professional circle, irked by her pushy, sarcastic assistant Sherri, and depressed at the distancing of her close friendship with her fellow DA Mark Callen, whom she can no longer confide in and must keep at arm’s length,” Gildemeister detailed.
“Most of all, Lola is challenged by her new role: learning to temper justice with mercy, and balance her passion for convicting lawbreakers with a concern for the rights of the accused.”
Gildemeister praised the legal drama for uniquely focusing on the lawyer's difficulty handling the new role as a judge.
According to PTC, the show features “little explicit content” that is sexual or violent in nature.
“'All Rise' had little content to concern parents — and promises some compelling storytelling,” he wrote.
