Unfortunately, I will have to fail this for being a long way from significant breadth, and additionally has some prose issues, especially in the reception section.

The production section is a single line. Even fairly niche television GAs typically get lengthy coverage of production; and this is the pilot of the series.
You mention in the lede that " The episode is set ten years after the John Grisham's 1991 novel and its 1993 film adaptation", but do not touch on this at all in the body. Expanding on this, and how the plot relates to where things left off, would give great context for the story.
Please read Copyediting reception sections; at the moment, the reception just reads like one quote after an another. Summarize broad and frequently covered themes in the reviews.
Ratings subsection is sparse compared to other TV GAs. You might need to source hunt a bit here.
Has there really been no retrospective cover of this series? It seems to have exploded disastrously, and that seems like the kinda cautionary tale people would have written in the decade since.

I will also note with a fair deal of disappointment that this has been nominated alongside a slew of articles with similar issues. Many of your articles are great, but these seem like they were just old starts thrown at the wall to see if any would pass, and that's not very fun for reviewers.
