Benched Premiered on USA Network on October 28, 2014



Benched centers on Nina (Eliza Coupe), a dedicated, career driven corporate attorney who has a very public nervous breakdown after getting passed up for an expected promotion and finds herself working as a public defender. Her personal and professional worlds are turned upside down when she joins the ranks of the legal world’s underdogs and very quickly realizes that the law isn’t quite as fair as she once thought.
