Head Cases(2005)

Get ready for the law's newest odd couple. The legal system will never be the same.

Head Cases is an American comedy-drama that premiered on FOX in September 2005, becoming the first show cancelled that television season after just two episodes. Attorney Jason Payne has lost everything—his job at a prestigious Los Angeles firm, his marriage, and his stability following a nervous breakdown. Desperate and adrift, he's paired with Russell Shultz, an unpredictable man with explosive disorder, by their mutual therapist as part of an outpatient buddy program. Against the odds, the two misfits decide to start their own law firm together. The series follows their unlikely partnership as they navigate both legal cases and personal recovery, blending courtroom drama with the chaos of two damaged men trying to rebuild their lives.
