“#The Tepid ‘Delilah’ Lays Down the Law<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The more agitated Delilah Connolly (Maahra Hill<\/a>) gets, the more interesting Delilah<\/i><\/a> becomes. \u201cLet\u2019s talk when you\u2019re not upset,\u201d says Gordon (Lyriq Bent<\/a>), the ex-husband of the titular Charlotte-based lawyer and single mom. And when would that be?<\/p>\n

Just about everyone in her world disapp<\/a>oints her, including her wounded war-vet brother (Leonard Harmon), her rebellious son (Braelyn Rankins) and especially her BFF, Tamara (the spirited Jill Marie Jones<\/a>), whose work for a posh law firm puts her in direct conflict with Delilah\u2019s latest tricky underdog case. For Delilah, it\u2019s almost always an underdog case, given how small her operation is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is like a Marvel movie,\u201d gushes Delilah\u2019s secretary and sole employee, Harper (Ozioma Akagha), at the thought of the besties facing each other in court. \u201cI hope it\u2019s not that long,\u201d Delilah responds with customary world-weariness. (Although I kind of agree with her retort.)<\/p>\n

Even with all of her aggravations, would Delilah really give the third degree to a concert violinist who has offered to tutor her gifted daughter (Kelly Jacobs) for free? And when set up with what seems to be the perfect guy (Michel Curiel), why put on the breaks the minute their flirtatious conversation veers into matters of faith?<\/p>\n

This surprisingly tepid drama from the creator of OWN\u2019s much juicier Greenleaf<\/i><\/a> goes glossy when it should be gritty. Passable as a legal soap opera, the show builds the emotional stakes way too slowly in Delilah\u2019s investigation of a cover-up involving malfunctioning military equipment.<\/p>\n

Hill is fine as the would-be supermom trying to do it all, but it\u2019s a problem when the title character isn\u2019t the show\u2019s most interesting person. Delilah almost seems a supporting player when upstaged by her more colorful friend Tamara and even her office\u2019s irrepressible new associate candidate, Demetria (Susan Heyward). Delilah and Delilah<\/i> need to step it up.<\/p>\n
