If I wanted lectures, I’d audit a class—not a drama
Law School was a drama I approached with curiosity, but ultimately it didn’t align with my viewing preferences. While I could appreciate its ambition and the way it tackled systemic issues within the justice system, the heavy reliance on legal jargon and courtroom lectures made it feel more like homework than entertainment. The intellectual sparring was sharp, but the pacing leaned too cerebral for my taste, draining rather than fueling my engagement.
Dropping it wasn’t about dismissing its quality—it’s clear the drama had merit and resonated with many viewers. For me, though, the balance tipped too far into legalese, leaving little room for the emotional resonance or suspense that I look for in crime‑adjacent titles. I prefer narratives that ground systemic critique in character‑driven payoff, and Law School felt more like a textbook than a thriller.
In the end, my decision to drop this drama was about protecting bandwidth and staying true to my shelf ethic. It’s not that the drama wasn’t good—it simply wasn’t for me. By recognizing that distinction, I can respect its strengths while keeping my own curation disciplined and aligned with resonance.
