We will forever love hottie Breckin Meyer as the adorable stoner skaterboi in Clueless.
He is all grown up now and hanging his hat at the law firm of his new TNT TV series, Franklin & Bash.
The New York Times describes the series as a David E. Kelley-esque wannabe.
Mr. Kelley is not associated with “Franklin & Bash,” ..... But it hews to Mr. Kelley’s “character based” formula, which is to say it emphasizes eccentricity, emotion and convoluted humor over plausible legal procedure or scannable plots.
The fantasy world of “Franklin & Bash” is [a] never-ending frat house bromance. You know the young lawyers Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) are mavericks because they sit around their Los Angeles bungalow-office in bathrobes, throwing footballs and clutching guitars. They also say things like, “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law’s against you ... have a hot chick with enormous breasts take her clothes off in court.”
The problem is that Franklin and Bash themselves are resolutely uninteresting. In a recurring motif, they pose bedroom-fantasy questions to each other: Would you sleep with Scarlett Johansson if it meant taking one punch from Mike Tyson? A more realistic question might be, Would you take a punch from Mike Tyson if it meant not having to sit through 10 hours of a mediocre lawyer show?
OUCH!!
That's okay. Breckin is still HOT and we'll watch whatever he is in. We are what "the suits' call: his "built-in audience!!"
