The Verdict
*Judging Amy* is a turn-of-the-millennium CBS family drama centered on a female judge and her social-worker mother. It features strong women leads but writes them as flawed and human, with no identity-swapping, LGBTQ+ focus, or anti-male messaging. Its only mild edge is the usual social-issue subject matter inherent to family-court drama, which stays grounded in story.
