From there we are introduced to his staff, a not-sufficiently-motivated-up- until-this-point group of young lawyers comprised of handsome men and attractive women. Here is where some of the fun starts as Woods chews them a new one, giving them real-world advice and instruction on what exactly is involved in winning a jury trial. They have 48 hours to try to prosecute a seemingly impossible case. I'll leave it to you to guess whether they succeed or not.
Shark is divorced, amicably, and has a 16-year-old daughter who has to choose between going to New York with her mother and the mom's new fiancee or staying in L.A. with her much-less-than-perfect dad. This relationship is to show the "softer" side of Shark, and works for the most part... until the end where it descended into schmaltz. In addition, at the end of the episode, the daughter acted way older than 16 years old in regard to being wise.
Except for that last couple of minutes, I really enjoyed it and let's face it, the real reason to watch the show is to see James Woods do his thing in what is a perfect role for him. If you're into courtroom drama with a bit of fun thrown in, I think this one is worth checking out.

The show is on the nose, but it's not *that* on the nose. Woods' character's last name is "Stark"...

I'll be damned... you're right, it IS Stark.
Yeesh.
