ELIZABETH CANTERBURY (Julianna Margulies, ER) is a force of nature. An attorney on the rise, she puts her career on the line to take on risky and unpopular cases, even when they take a toll on her personal life. Elizabeth and her law professor husband MATTHEW CANTERBURY (Linus Roache, Batman Begins, The Chronicles of Riddick), haunted by the disappearance of their young son, have settled in Providence, Rhode Island, in an attempt to distance themselves from the tragedy and put their relationship back together. But those goals become elusive whenever Elizabeth's work provides a stark reminder of the justice absent in their own lives.

my take
Looks like Fox is taking shows from F/X now. Canterbury's Law would be perfectly at home on F/X, but seems a little off on Fox. The premise seems like one we've seen before: lawyer with personal issues, wins her cases at all costs. The twist is that her son has disappeared. Gee, I wonder if the mystery will play out and affect her marriage and career. Can Margulies pull it off? I'm 90% a believer. Another issue with Fox and F/X: Shows on F/X can be declared a success with a fraction of the audience of a broadcast network. If this fails on Fox, would it be moved to F/X?
