Outlaw was a legal drama television series created by John Eisendrath and directed by Terry George. The show premiered on NBC in 2010 and starred Jimmy Smits as Cyrus Garza, a Supreme Court justice who resigns in protest against the system he feels is biased against the underprivileged. Garza goes on to lead a renegade legal team that takes on complex cases involving social injustice.

The show's main protagonist and central character is Cyrus Garza. Garza is a former defense attorney who is appointed to the Supreme Court to bring diversity to its bench. However, Garza finds himself conflicted as he realizes that the system he serves is biased against those who need it the most. As a result, Garza decides to resign his position on the bench and form his law firm with a group of young and talented lawyers.

The core team of Garza's firm includes Lucinda Pearl (Carly Pope), a legal clerk and investigator, Al Druzinsky (David Ramsey), a brilliant attorney, and Mereta Stockman (Ellen Woglom), a young and enthusiastic lawyer. The show's other recurring characters include Virginia, Garza's ex-girlfriend, and Eddie Franks, a rival attorney who is often at odds with Garza's team.

The show is set in Washington, D.C., and showcases the inner workings of the legal system in the United States. Each episode features a new case that the team takes on, which highlights social justice issues such as racism, sexism, and corruption. The cases range from wrongful convictions to police brutality, and the team uses their combined expertise to fight for justice.

Outlaw features a mix of courtroom drama, suspense, and humor, and the chemistry between the characters is a highlight of the show. Jimmy Smits brings a gravitas to his role as Cyrus Garza, portraying the character's inner turmoil and passion for justice with great skill. Carly Pope and David Ramsey are excellent in their respective roles, playing off each other and providing much-needed levity to the show.

The show's writing is sharp and topical, with each episode striving to shed light on important social issues. The show's creators made a conscious decision to address contemporary concerns and offer viewers an authentic look at the legal system. The show has been lauded for its portrayal of social justice issues and for showcasing the importance of legal representation for marginalized communities.

Despite its positive reviews, Outlaw was cancelled after just one season due to low ratings. Many fans were disappointed by the show's premature end, and many critics felt that the show had failed to reach its full potential. However, the show's impact on its audience cannot be denied, and its legacy continues to inspire many people to fight for justice and equality.

In conclusion, Outlaw was a legal drama series that tackled social justice issues head-on. The show's emphasis on diverse representation and its focus on topical issues made it a significant contribution to television. Although the show was short-lived, it will be remembered for its strong performances, sharp writing, and its unwavering commitment to social justice.
