What’s This TV Show About?

An ABC legal drama, For the People stars Britt Robertson, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Ben Rappaport, Susannah Flood, Wesam Keesh, Regé-Jean Page, Ben Shenkman, Hope Davis, Vondie Curtis-Hall, and Anna Deavere Smith. The Shondaland TV series unfolds at “The Mother Court,” i.e. the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The story centers on six accomplished attorneys, who work on both sides of the law. Whether they represent the defense or the people, these young lawyers ply their trade, trying some of the most publicized cases, and in federal court, the stakes can be sky high.

Telly’s Take

Will ABC cancel or renew For the People for season two? The ratings started low and, save for one hiccup, haven’t gotten better. I’m sure it will be cancelled and may even be pulled off the schedule before all of the episodes have aired. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments.
