The one other character who seems to get a little bit added to their story on a regular basis is Bobbi Gilardi (Natalia Cigliuti), Kellerman's would-be love interest. Her story has been all about her divorce and pushing off Kellerman until that was finalized. Those papers came through last night, but I'm not going to ruin the episode's final moments for you, suffice to say that next week's episode should prove a good one.
It is despite this lack of ability to give depth to many of the characters' story arcs due to the breadth of characters that the show is working this season. Frankly, if they're not able to really explore the characters I'd rather that they not give us tiny bits of nonsense which only lead us to believe that the characters are gross stereotype. Actually, I think the reason the show really works is that the cases this season have been interesting. The series, while it definitely gives more weight to the public defenders, tends to leave things just a little bit open about right and wrong in a case. Despite Kellerman's constant bemoaning of the justice system and the injustice it creates, the show is pretty good about showing that things aren't black and white and exploring the push and pull between prosecutors and defense attorneys that make for justice. It makes the show a good one even if most of the characters aren't yet that three dimensional. It's also why I'm intrigued this season and going to continue watching.
