The TV show revolves around a team of lawyers who work against several obstacles together. The nine roles and five stages of team roles and development were passively seen throughout the show. The study consisted of a team of students who watched and analyzed a TV show about its teamwork roles and stages of development. There are nine team member roles introduced by Belbin which is broken down into three main categories; action-oriented, people-oriented and thought-oriented roles. These roles can be used to determine the position of each member within the group and there are five Stages of Team Development.
