Hoping The Deep End doesn't go off the deep end


There is a new show on ABC that I really enjoy. The Deep End is about five first year lawyers at a very demanding law firm. One of the two first year females is the actress that played Deb in Napoleon Dynamite. The partners that mentor the first years at the firm are Billy Zane as the angry one, Nicole Ari Parker as the tough one, Clancy Brown as the nice one and Norbert Leo Butz as the crazy one (he's new).

The first years are brave, smart and charming and I think they are doing what most young professionals, like me, wish they were doing; they are kicking butt and taking names. They are beginning their careers with a full sprint. They are following their dreams no matter who tries to get in their way.

There have only been five episodes, but I am hoping that there will be more. I will go as far as to say that The Deep End is the Grey's Anatomy for the suits and ties of the world. This show is perfect for us Generation Yers who would rather cut people up with words than scalpels.

If you want to see what I am talking about, go to www.abc.com and watch a full episode or five.
