I enjoyed watching both shows but I figured to have such a life daily would be a little stressful?

Mmm, two conflicting answers...

TV shows take the most dramatic and interesting snippets of the case, and show them, becuase the vast majority of the work is dull.
For a two-week trial, a lawyer may spend 100+ hours doing research, several hundred hours working on briefs and memos, and even longer wading through piles of documents and discovery. And even most of the two-week trial is laying foundation and handling procedural matters.
So, how many people would watch a TV show that was 30 minutes of watching a lawyer read documents or type, 10 minutes of standing around in a courtroom waiting or talking about obscure procedural rules, and 4 minutes of drama?

Not at all. The practice does have drama from time to time. For the most part it is long days of hard work behind a desk, in meetings, in court, taking depositions, researching, etc. It is no walk in the park. But it is rewarding if done right.
