you could tell she was intelligent enough to appreciate that not only do films and TV want too / have to dramatise court proceedings for storytelling and entertainment, but also just by the language she used she made you aware that she also acknowledged that the actors were playing a character written for them so cannot really be blamed or responsible for any inaccuracies that were portrayed. I loved her! Bring her back!

I love how much lucy seems to be enjoying watching these. Most professionals in a career that is often misrepresented on tv, just find them annoying, but she looks like she's having so much fun, and loves all these movies, no matter how silly. I'm going to tell you the truth, I wasn't all that interested in this topic when I randomly clicked on the video, especially when I saw that it was 28 minutes long. I was like, yeah, I'll watch a few minutes of this and see what else I can find. But Lucy's clear joy at what she's talking about makes this impossible to quit watching.
