Overall Thoughts
Netflix’s Partner Track is a legal drop, with a bit of the rom-com genre mixed in. It sort of feels like it could be played on Prime Time, along with shows like Law & Order or Suits. It centers around a law firm that is pretty much a boys’ club, with the lead character, Ingrid, being an Asian female who wants to become a partner at the firm. While she takes the lead role, the series also focuses in on the others at the firm and her group of friends, all dealing with some sort of drama of their own, whether it be drama in the romance department or the pressures at the firm. These side plots and new challenges that continually rise make for a constant stream of new and fresh content over the span of the season to keep viewers intrigued.
Netflix’s Partner Track was perfectly cast, with an interesting ensemble of characters to appeal to all viewers. Arden Cho, who plays lead character Ingrid, gives a very authentic performance of the tough, smart, and quick-witted lawyer who wears her snark on her sleeve. Her love interests, Jeff Murphy (Dominic Sherwood), as well as Nick Laren (Rob Heaps), each have great chemistry with Cho, as friends, lovers, and workplace rivals. Then there are Ingrid’s workplace besties, Rachel Friedman (Alexandra Turshen) and Tyler Robinson (Bradley Gibson), who are also both trying to make partners, but have their own enlightenment through the course of the show.
Now let me warn some of you, while I enjoyed Netflix’s Partner Track, this is not a show to binge, it will become too overwhelming. Imagine yourself binging an entire season of Law & Order. It sounds like a chore, right? While each new episode released once a week is a delight, watching this sort of legal drama all in one sitting with back-to-back episodes is just too much. It is a good series, but to truly enjoy it, take your time watching it. Watch the episode and let it settle, otherwise your experience with Partner Track will go off the rails.
