The fact that I watched this show while I was in middle school is INSANE. I vividly remember this scene too. Also I think every litigator could stand being reduced to an animal state every now and again
This is so horribly true. "A cosmo swilling litigator reduced to an animal state" is beautiful writing and is exactly how I felt when my lawyer colleagues started having babies and the occasional one had a stab at breastfeeding rather than bunging them instantly into a nursery and coming straight back to work (stories about dictating legal advice from the delivery room abounded). Of course now I know better but the depiction of breastfeeding in popular culture as, at best, inconvenient and unattractive is really deeply unhelpful.
Not André the Giant with his onesie on! 😂

Ugh.
An excellent and unique take and a great back story! Babosh!!
