Cupertino

description

Cupertino is a legal drama from Robert and Michelle King, the prolific creators of The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and Elsbeth, airing on CBS with streaming on Paramount+. Transplanting the Kings' signature mix of sharp courtroom procedure, moral ambiguity, and topical satire from New York to Northern California, the series takes aim at the people and companies at the center of the tech economy. Its title nods to the Santa Clara County city synonymous with Silicon Valley.

Mike Colter stars as Michael, an attorney fired from a Silicon Valley startup over a stock-option scheme who joins forces with another ousted lawyer to represent the ordinary people chewed up by tech's most powerful executives. Ella Stiller plays Christy, a young startup assistant pulled into his orbit, and Renée Elise Goldsberry plays Renee, a formidable opposing attorney with a romantic history with Michael, alongside Rachel Keller in a key leading role. The David-versus-Goliath framing gives the Kings a fresh arena for the ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling they are known for.

Colter reunites with the Kings, who first worked with him on The Good Wife and The Good Fight, extending one of television's most distinctive writer-star partnerships into the world of venture capital, data, and disruption. Blending weekly legal cases with a serialized crusade against corporate power, it joins CBS's drama slate as a timely entry about accountability in the age of big tech. Cupertino is streaming on Paramount+.

Intensely cerebral, narrated more or less in the style of a Latin American magic-realist novel which shows the conclusion before the story begins, "Damages" TV show strangely fulfills the immanent promise in cable television programming, appealing very strongly to what the poet Milton called "fit audience though few." "Damages" series'unmistakable style, sophistication, and subtle sizzle are spellbinding, and the writers have crafted heroes you love to love and villains you love to hate with a team of attorneys working both sides of the continental divide between good and evil. Unabashedly stealing its premise from the Bernie Madoff case, "Damages" asks and answers, "What if you were Madoff's antagonist?" Glenn Close plays Patty Hewes, the high-powered and equally high-priced attorney determined to bring down ponzi-schemer Louis Tobin, portrayed by Len Cariou. The word "perfect" appears in most critics' discussions of their performances. A New York Times reviewer aptly summarized, "It's impossible to overestimate how delicious Ms. Close is as this fiercely driven, mercurial and manipulative woman. " In a stroke of casting genius, the producers chose Lily Tomlin to quicken the character of Mrs. Tobin, long-suffering wife of the arch-villain; the audience remains in suspense about her true colors and motives, suspecting she may be "Damages'" answer to Lady Macbeth. Martin Short also stars as Tobin's family attorney.
