Benched
Created by Damon Jones, Michaela Watkins
On USA Network
A workplace comedy about a corporate lawyer's fall and reinvention as a public defender, balancing satirical workplace humor with genuine character disillusionment.
Nina is a dedicated, career driven corporate attorney who has a very public nervous breakdown after getting passed up for an expected promotion and now finds herself working as a public defender. Her personal and professional worlds are turned upside down when she joins the ranks of the legal world’s underdogs and very quickly realizes that the law isn't quite as fair as she once thought.
