“The answer, across the main series and all three extent spinoffs...”

You’re beginning to bore the hell out of me.

That’s why it’s unlikely to happen.

I didn’t say that. I was giving an example of what the lawyer wouldn’t, couldn’t and shouldn’t do because he’s still representing his client—a client who is still accused of a crime.

He’s still getting paid to represent his client. Also, if his client is indeed maintaining his innocence, then the lie is with Jeremy, not his lawyer.

Actually, it’s not. In the unlikely event he’s later found competent to stand trial, he’s still in legal jeopardy.

Still, I think a jury would have had to take Jeremy’s career as a porn star into consideration. It would have been in the back of their minds the entire trial.

And to any future clients.

Bingo!

He’d be reprimanded by his state’s bar association. Suspended at the very least, but there’s a very good chance of being disbarred.

I suppose the other option would have been a “I have nothing to say on the subject,” or just remain silent. Still, any comments as to him thinking his client is guilty would be a big no-no in the legal world.

Because he still has to offer a vigorous defense. He’d be disbarred if he stood there in front of a bunch of microphones and said, “Hell yes he did it.”

I hear Tertiary Syphilis is no picnic.

I agree there are definite similarities. I think the production value is driven by this being a series instead of film.

I don’t know, there might be a Taika Waiti listed in the Christchurch phone book. I guess that guy might be in the movie, rather than the celebrated Kiwi director...

Yeah, but I’d argue that Mel Brooks movies are like pizza. Even a bad one is still pizza!

Agreed. One of the big reasons Brooks is such a creative genius is that he collaborates so much. He’s gotten truly epic comic bits out of just about everybody he’s directed, even a few not noted for being funny people.

I always thought there was something fundamentally wrong, like something got left out...

Did the Spanish Inquisition count as being civil?
