I don’t think they could have gotten away with this episode even a year ago, but now I guess it’s been long enough since George Zimmerman that people remember but it’s not quite such a hot topic. However, so far I don’t think the legal proceedings are the strength of the show – it’s really all about the characters and their relationships, which is good because there are so many courtroom dramas that never develop characters very well.
I also loved the music in this episode. Great Northern’s “Home” was the perfect backdrop for when Jamie and Preston are getting dinner, and I especially liked when they used “So Very Long” by Charlie Calleja when Lee Anne and Arliss wake up in bed. That guy has kind of a bizarre sounding singing accent that sounds so great with his soft voice.
