A family drama focused on three generations of women living together in Hartford, Connecticut. Amy Brenneman plays Amy Gray, who left New York City behind and now works as a family court judge. Karle Warren plays Lauren, Amy's daughter; Tyne Daly is Maxine, Amy's tough, opinionated mother.
The stand-out performer in this soft-centred family drama is not the eponymous judicial figure Amy (Amy Brenneman), but her mother Maxine, as played by the luminous Tyne Daly.
