60 Sec Rec: All Rise

All Rise revolves around the personal lives of judges, prosecutors, and public defenders in a LA courthouse. The plot follows newly appointed Judge Lola Carmichael, a highly regarded and impressive former DDA who immediately pushes the boundaries and challenges the expectations of what a judge can be. [Wikipedia]

This show has a lot of very interesting characters and a strong emphasis on friendship (work friends, new friends, BFFs...), one of the most important ones is between Lola and Mark; their chemistry is FANTASTIC, they're a team and they never try to hint at romance. They're platonic ride-or-dies (not the only ones in the series) and I love it. The series is soapy and fun, but it also gets into the nitty-gritty, the deeper conversations and issues:

"At the root of this is a question of the entire justice system. Are you putting too much on this? It's about retribution versus rehabilitation, and are some crimes beyond rehabilitation? I get it. I do. I want it all, too. Dismantle systemic racism. Reform parole. Pursue restorative justice. I want that. But, one fight at a time, and you have to know which fight you are fighting right now."

"De-escalation training, tearing down the blue wall of silence which protects abusive policing. More effective training for police officers dealing with crisis intervention. I'm gonna bring this back around to the dangers of under-policing, grassroots organizations have long offered up solutions to these issues. Real progress would be city and police leaders sitting down with them. Not just every other quarter."

"But you weren't really hearing me, Lisa. Allies don't wanna listen. They want to tell us everything that's going right. Yeah, sure. All of those things are true. George Floyd is dead, and yes, his death unleashed outrage. But you know what else it did? It made a whole lot of white Americans uncomfortable. Why do you think we are even debating whether or not to teach Black history, which is American history, in our schools? A lot of white people don't want to confront the truth. They would rather just ignore it. White people don't deal well with guilt. You think guilt is heavy? Think about everything that we carry, Lisa. And all we ask is for people to just see it from our side. To acknowledge the problems."

A Broadway Star Gets Married on Her Day Off

Lindsay Mendez, nominated for a Tony in “Merrily We Roll Along,” married actor J. Alex Brinson in a Monday ceremony officiated by castmate Jonathan Groff. Daniel Radcliffe was their ring bearer.

On Broadway, with most shows shuttered, Monday is typically the day actors and crews rest and recharge.

Or, if you’re Lindsay Michelle Mendez and John Alex Brinson, it’s the day you get married.

Ms. Mendez currently stars as Mary Flynn in the musical “Merrily We Roll Along,” so the wedding was planned not just around her schedule, but that of the officiant and ring bearer’s, too — Ms. Mendez’s castmates Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe.

Ms. Mendez said her castmates Mr. Groff, who was previously ordained by the Universal Life Church, and Mr. Radcliffe had played an important role in her relationship journey with Mr. Brinson. “They’ve become our really, really close friends in real life,” she said. “It just felt appropriate for Jon to marry us and for Dan to be our ring bearer.”

Several Times a Minister Mr. Groff has officiated other weddings, including the nuptials of his former “Hamilton” castmate Phillipa Soo and the actor Steven Pasquale.

Mr. Groff, ordained by the Universal Life Church, is a seasoned officiant who has presided over several other weddings. Credit: Heather Gershonowitz

Have a seat, Mr. Watkins. We are gonna talk about your future. Really? What are your plans after the Bar? Assuming I pass? You'll pass. And then... prosecutor? You've seen a lot of trials. Well, I don't know. Felony court's no joke.

ALL RISE (ordered to series; fka Courthouse)

Follows the dedicated, chaotic, hopeful, and sometimes absurd lives of the judges, assistant district attorneys, and public defenders as they work with bailiffs, clerks, cops and jurors to bring justice to the people of Los Angeles.

Cast (thus far)

Simone Missick (Luke Cage) as Lola. Over the course of her impressive career as a Deputy District Attorney, Lola was known to be independent, formidable and, occasionally, wildly impulsive. As a newly appointed Judge, Lola suddenly has more power. So, she doesn’t sit back on the bench; Lola leans in — immediately pushing boundaries and challenging expectations of what a judge should be. (Mar 22)

Marg Helgenberger (CSI) as Judge Judith, who broke the glass ceiling by becoming one of the rare female judges in California. Originally a progressive voice from the bench, over time she has become an entrenched member of the judicial establishment. As Supervising Judge, Judith is a powerful and influential figure who oversees Lola’s transition to judge — and through that relationship, she will rediscover her passion for justice. (Mar 18)

Ruthie Ann Miles (The King and I) as Sherri. As Lola’s Judicial Assistant, Sherri is The Gatekeeper; she controls the schedule, the witness lists, the flow of paperwork — everything. She can make defendants sit in the lockup and wait all day for the next appearance, or she can find a way to get them in and out before her morning coffee gets cold. Efficient, pragmatic and armed with wickedly dry sense of humor, Sherri isn’t thrilled she has to “train” Lola — a rookie judge. (Mar 25)

Jessica Camacho (Taken) as Emily Lopez-Berarro, a tough and determined public defender who is undaunted in her efforts to prove her clients’ innocence. (Feb 20)

Lindsay Mendez (Carousel) as Sara, an ebullient, optimistic court reporter who has surprising hidden talents. A close friend to Emily, Sara hosts the Courthouse poker games and is a reliable source for gossip and courthouse intel. (Mar 25)

Wilson Bethel (Hart of Dixie) as Mark, a roguish, highly successful Deputy District Attorney whose best friend and colleague Lola has just been appointed a judge. Never great with boundaries, Mark struggles with the personal and professional changes in their relationship. (Mar 8)

J. Alex Brinson (Travelers) as Luke. Wholesome, generous and hardworking, Luke is a bailiff by day and law student by night, determined to move up in the world by becoming a lawyer. (Mar 11)
