My Pretend Husband Enters the Law

And I'm fascinated to see which direction they go with this. Episode 2 of The Riches is right here. (As is Episode 1).

If you want to see what my brain looks like when it reads code provisions? Watch for Eddie reading code at the bar in Episode 2. Sweet Jesus, I could swear the man crawled inside my head, pulled out my whole internal voice and attitude, and then gave it actual voice and physicality. I watched it 6 times, and cracked up every damn time. Even now, I cannot think about it too closely, because I'll snigger. In public. Which then appears to be Sniggering Without Cause - which is just never good.

Anyway here is this grifter who has entered the law and reads code in my voice - which causes me to wonder - which way are they going to go? Tele-reality clearly states that The Law is just one Exciting Courtroom Exchange after another - usually as a direct result of the information gleaned by The Dedicated Lawyer during the Exciting And Dangerous Sleuthing she/he engaged in mere moments prior to said Exciting Courtroom Exchange. In reality?

Not so much.

But will this be the series that shows that the law is a deathly dull grind 99% of the time (110% of the time if it is corporate)? Will Eddie hate it and want to leave, but be trapped in the vile profession because of all the benefits the salary can provide for his wife and family?

I doubt I'll be seeing that. (But they so easily could show me that. They have the set-up in place for telling that story. ) (But I'm sure they won't. Sigh.)
