Has anyone seen Harry's Law?

perpetual_motionI just found out about it (having imdb-ed Paul McCrane because I'm reading Robert Romano porn), and he's a recurring on a show called "Harry's Law," which stars Kathy Bates.
So, good news: It stars Kathy Bates.
The bad news: It's produced by David E. Kelly, and it seems like it's going towards the "look how whimsical we all are!" angle, which I'm not a huge fan of. And, of course, the super-girly girl was raped as a kid by her uncle (why is it always the uncle?). And now she likes "pretty things" because she wants to (I'm assuming) forget it ever happened.
The conflict: Kelly is actually pretty good at selling me on shit that is questionable in summary. I don't like the molestation backstory (seriously, can that one DIE already?), but maybe it'll work in context. I dunno.
At one point, Paul McCrane may strip down, and I am ALL for that.
(Yes, I am aware he is weird-looking. Let me introduce you to my other crushes: Willem Dafoe, William Fichtner, Sharlto Copley, Jackie Earle Haley, and so on.)
So the question is: Have you seen it, and does it suck?
