Noticing that Living has picked up another new US import, I was all eagerness to present it to you Scoopers. That was until I found that it was cancelled in America (by FOX) after just one season. There is much Internet distress at this decision, one that many believe was reached not due to the poor quality of the programme but declining ratings after yo-yo scheduling. But enough on the (perhaps premature) demise of the show and more on what we can expect from its 14 episodes here in the UK. The name is far from cryptic so you would be on to a winner if you suspected some legal eagles.

Justice follows a dream team of lawyers – Ron Trott (Jack Bristow in Alias), Luther Graves (Kareem Said in Oz), Kerr Smith (Jack McPhee in Dawson’s Creek) and Alden Tuller (soon to be seen in Private Practice and Lost) who are the go-to-guys for big, controversial cases at law firm TNT&G. Each episode follows one case from start to finish, with the climax provided by the truth behind it. The show was popular for keeping its focus firmly fixed on the case, rather than any bed-hopping by the characters and was applauded for being less gimmicky than many of a similar ilk. But comparisons with House, CSI, Law and Order and The Practice have failed to save this series from the network’s chop. Another emerging classic lost or deadweight cut loose?
