🧑⚖️ Who’s Who in Episode 1? Meet the Cast
👨💼 Todd Wright (Skylar Astin)
Todd’s back and more chaotic than ever. This episode finds him freshly reinvigorated after last season’s near breakdown. But don’t worry—he’s still stirring up trouble in a buttoned-up law office.
👩⚖️ Margaret Wright (Marcia Gay Harden)
Todd’s ever-determined, powerhouse attorney mom is still holding down the courtroom with razor-sharp wit—and zero tolerance for her son’s antics.
🕵️♀️ Susan (Inga Schlingmann)
Todd’s ex, law firm investigator, and ongoing emotional landmine. Let’s just say, things between them haven’t exactly cooled down.
📚 Lyle (Tristen J. Winger)
The hilariously straight-laced investigator continues to be Todd’s reluctant sidekick.
💼 Francey (Rosa Arredondo)
The firm’s paralegal and one of Todd’s few allies in the office jungle.
🚨 New Characters Introduced!
Two new cast members stir the pot in Episode 1, especially as the plot dives deep into international territory:
-
Elísabet Guðmundsdóttir (played by Katla Njálsdóttir): An Icelandic prosecutor with secrets to hide.
-
Benji Crowley (played by Noah Segan): A quirky travel vlogger who may know more about “the incident” than he’s letting on.
🌍 Why Iceland, Though? The Plot That Starts It All
“Iceland Was Horrible” – But Why?
No, Todd didn’t vacation in Iceland just to relax. He followed a cold lead on a white-collar criminal. What could’ve been a quick in-and-out trip turned into a diplomatic mess involving identity theft, a frozen lake, and a confused reindeer.
The fallout? A headline-worthy legal disaster that Margaret now has to clean up.
🚨 The Episode’s Opening Scene: Buckle Up
We’re dropped straight into a panicked Todd being interrogated by Icelandic authorities, muttering, “This is NOT how I thought my Tuesday would go.” The writers waste no time getting to the chaos.
