CBS’ new drama by Dana Calvo stars Janet Montgomery as a high-end attorney from a large and unpolished Jersey family.
From the Hollywood Reporter: Some shows come out flat and lifeless no matter what the actors bring to their characters. Often this is reflective of a premise that just doesn’t have a lot of meat. That seems to be the problem with CBS’ tepid new drama Made in Jersey, though there probably are a lot more underlying reasons.
But let’s get back to that premise: Jersey-girl lawyer lacks Ivy League credentials but totally puts it in their stuck-up faces as she makes it against all odds at a tony Manhattan law firm.
Yep, that’s about it.
Even the tagline is: “Every underdog has her day.”
