Two seasons deep, we know exactly what to expect from this breezy procedural follow-up to the pair of legal dramas. More a “howcatchem” than a “whodunnit,” the show follows the titular lawyer as she assists her cop pals — including Cara Patterson’s Kaya Blanke and Wendell Pierce’s Captain Wagner — in bringing down the folks she knows to have committed the crime-of-the-week.
Said wrongdoers have been played by some big names in the past and season 3 is no different. The opening episode sees Stephen Colbert play talk show host Scotty Bristol, struggling with rising tensions between himself and husband and wife writing duo Laurel and Mickey, played by Amy Sedaris and Andy Richter, while the second installment features David Cross as Nolan, a hapless ex-con who finds himself in the midst of a toy store hostage crisis.
Later in the season, there’s ghoulish goings on in suburbia in the Halloween special, and scandal when a grief influencer’s supposedly dead husband makes a return.
