When that Ron Silver-looking lawyer mentioned they had 12 properties, I blinked, and heard a cash register sound effect "ka-CHING!" in my head. If Chuck would take $20M to settle, how much do you think he'll sue for? $50M+treble damages? Hoo boy.
(Grisham wrote a novel called "The King of Torts", I think, about high-rolling lawyers who go after these class-action suits. They're the richest lawyers in the world, they all own private jets, because they keep earning 1/3rd of these 7-figure verdicts/settlements. Instead of Grisham's usual "little guy takes on the big boys in court," it was more like Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street "little guy gets corrupted, gets rich, ****s it up," but set amongst lawyers.)

No. Those who don't like this show DO like it; they're just mad that they don't love it, because they came to the party really, really wanting to love it, and it's not what they were hoping it would be....which is more explosions and gunfire, I guess.
