A brilliant episode satirizing the ludicrous and byzantine tail chasing farce that the 'legal' system has devolved into.

Kudos to the creators for an incisive and humorous peek behind the curtain.

Jay is whistling the theme song at the end (wishes do come true :-) )

An episode without Lucca and Colin's odd dynamic was actually welcome, as good as Cush Jumbo is.

This was a one-off episode, but still had the show's strong political slant. They tackled ICE here, and predictably made them the evil boogeyman.

Still, this was the most technical episode of the show this season with the constant battling between local bond court, state court and federal court.

Not a classic, but enjoyable enough.

The encirclement of Jay by ICE agents is all too relevant to too many people in America. The powerlessness of his situation and the lengths that his law firm has to go to get him legal status has tones of Josef Kafka's "The Trial". Well done.

I only wish I knew what the tune that Jay whistles at the end of the episode. I should but I don't.

Total disappointment. I pay for CBS All Access only for this show. I wait all week expecting it to blow me away, and it usually does. This week was just a place holder. Waste of time. Total disappointment. It didn't move the season along at all, and was just a joke, really. Without giving a spoiler, one of their employees supposedly was undocumented and didn't know it, then they scramble around trying to get the employee a visa. It just wasn't anywhere near the quality of what I've come to expect to this show. Just a silly waste of time and literally a place holder as far as the season goes. If the show keeps going in this direction, it's not worth paying for anymore.

I don't see the point of the episode. It does not continue the story line, complete tangent to what has been going on.

Some of the bits are farcical, with judges being micro targeted.

This has been an excellent series so far but this episode was a real disappointment.

BTW, the case that triggered the story line gets completely ignored.

I hope they get back on track with the next episode.
