3.5/4
The Kings have spun a story that has the procedural drama and addictiveness of weekly courtroom battles and fast-talking lawyers in expensive suits mixed with genuinely thoughtful discussions and questions... Go to Full Review

If you’ve ever appreciated a Good Wife or Fight episode about ChumHum, or are even just now laughing about the concept of a tech company named ChumHum, you will love the Kings’ new drama, Cupertino, a legal procedural that rehomes the zany, angsty fun... Go to Full Review

[It] is episodic, mainstream network storytelling that shows, like so much of the Kings’ output, that it’s still possible to make smart, sophisticated, digestible television within that framework. Go to Full Review

Cupertino gives viewers the simple satisfaction of seeing a case "solved" each week. Yet what makes the series worth sticking with for an entire season are its characters. Go to Full Review

Jesse J @RT97881246 3 hrs ago Love the cast and the creative team behind this series. They are off to a great start See more Lee S @LeeJS 1 day ago Fantastic stuff. I knew I was going to love this show within the first 15 minutes. Excellent writing, great cast, very interesting premise. Can't wait to see where this goes. It has a lot of potential. See more Claude G @RT07416073 1 day ago Ok, so, for those who suffer from "The Good Wife" or "The Good Fight" withdrawals. Cupertino is a show you will more than likely like if not even dare I say it love. I feel like it's got some "Boston Legal" vibes with a combo of high stakes corporate law and levity added to the mix. Based on reviewing the pilot episode, It's a show that's light on gravitas. For now.. This review won't spoil the show. It's a David vs. Goliath show set in the heart of Silicon Valley. It doesn't waste time getting started. Do you miss Marissa Gold from the Good Wife and especially the Good Fight? Well... she's not in it. But Cupertino has its own version whose character is named Christy Palladino who is this show's fixer and you will find that her family is very well connected and we've already been introduced to a few. Anyways, looking forward to more. I will keep up this review and adjust the rating as necessary. Watching this show was time very well wasted in the best of ways possible. See more Elaine S @eksmitty 1 day ago Outstanding story, writing, and performances. I’m looking forward to an interesting season. Good to have another show created by the Kings.
