Albert Tsai as Walter is magic
Carlos: We uphold the rights of those who need it most. Those who can't defend themselves.
Walter: Is that why they made ten Law & Orders and none of them are about public defenders?

Albert Tsai on Benched!
Catching up on hulu, y’all!
(another charmer cancelled, sigh)
All of this is a lead-up to saying: I like the show so much, but I admit, I feel like I’ve been here before. With Trophy Wife, with Happy Endings, with Enlisted, withBetter Off Ted, with Ben And Kate, with … well, heck, with Sports Night in the late ’90s. Affection for a new show — any new show that doesn’t seem pre-destined to be a blockbuster — comes with a heavy dose of anxiety: Oh, I’m going to get to like this, and then they’re going to cancel it, right?

Sigh.
So USA cancelled #Benched after just one season. If you didn't tune in, which apparently you didn't (10:30pm on a Tuesday..really USA?)-the show is perfection. I was devastated when Better off Ted/Happy Endings were cancelled-and this was to make up for that cosmically. Even though we only got one season, it's was quality, funny, heart felt, and the shipping is worth the investment. I will continue to make gifs because i have rewatched the season about 6 times & USA's it isn't you it's me thing isn't gonna work. Yahoo Screen G*ds, save pull a community on this brilliant show will ya? If anyone needs me I'll be in my cupcake room.
