DVD Reviews of The Guardian: The First Season
DVD Review: He's not as bad as he think he is.
Summary: 5 Stars
As Alvin tells him in the last episode of the third series, Nicholas Fallin is not as bad as he think he is, and probably he's not as bad as he wants to be.
This is the story of a young corporate lawyer who works for his father during the day, and holds coke parties at night. Of course he gets busted and he gets sentenced to quite a huge amount of hours at children's legal service plus probation and a fine. THroughout the series we see him juggling his two jobs.
This legal drama is not so much about legal stuff as it is about the personal growth of a very troubled thirsty-something man, who might have had everything his dad's money could buy, but healthy relationships with his family. He's clearly scared to death by his father's judgement, as much as he craves for his affection and approval. Emotionally, he's not older than most of his clients at LSP and sometimes he behaves like your perfect a..h..e, and your instinct would be of slapping his face.
And yet, we gradually see that, behind his mask of arrogance and 'standoffishness' he is caring and shows concern for those around him. He often sounds as if he were on the verge of tears, and he goes the extra mile trying to help the children and adults he has been sentenced to serve. Even though he tries and adds minutes, if not hours, to his sentence log, he does not hesitate to even become foster carer for one of those children, or to go against social services, grandparents, and basically everyone else in order to grant the wishes of another one. All of this while he's constantly told off by basically everyone: his father, his boss at LSP, his boss at another firm, the group leader at the Al-An, his coworkers at LSP....
Plots are very interesting, main actors are great, especially Dabney Coleman and Simon Baker, and the views of downtown Pittsburgh are just wonderful.
Hope they'll put the other two series on DVD soon.
Description of The Guardian: The First Season
Nick Fallin is a hotshot lawyer working at his father's ultrasuccessful Pittsburgh law firm. Unfortunately, the high life has gotten the best of Nick. Arrested for drug use, he's sentenced to do 1,500 hours of community service, somehow to be squeezed into his 24/7 cutthroat world of mergers, acquisitions and board meetings. Reluctantly, he's now The Guardian - a part-time child advocate at Legal Aid Services, where one case after another is an eye-opening instance of kids caught up in difficult circumstances.Bestsellers in DVD
