For The People Trailer: The Next Big Legal Drama?

at .

If you're a fan of Suits and How to Get Away with Murder then For The People may be the next law drama you need in your life. 

Per the official logline:

Set in the Southern District of New York Federal Court, aka “The Mother Court,” legal drama follows brand-new lawyers working on opposite sides — for both the defense and the prosecution — as they handle the most high-profile and high-stakes cases in the country, all as their personal lives intersect.

If first impressions are everything, then the official trailer sure looks like a TV show I would add to my viewing schedule... so long as the show does not focus too much on who the characters are bedding. 

Being a ShondaLand series, it probably will focus on the latter, but we'll need to tune in when the show premieres during the 2017-2018 season to find out. 

With a cast that that boasts the likes of Ben Rappaport, Anna Deavere Smith,  Hope Davis, Ben Shenkman and Britne Oldford, it is one of the more intriguing new series of the season. 

Watch the full trailer below and hit the comments with your take on it.

ABC Quotes

Aren’t we judged by how we treat people? I don’t mean as doctors. I mean as people. Especially those who don’t have the same advantages that we have. We hire Shaun and we give hope to those people with limitations that those limitations are not what they think they are. That they do have a shot! We hire Shaun and we make this hospital better for it. We hire Shaun and we are better people for it.

Dr. Aaron Glassman

Why were you rude to me when we first met then nicer to me the second time we met and now you want to be my friend? Which time was it that you were pretending?

Dr. Shaun Murphy
