Boston Legal - Season 1 (TV Series)

USA 2004-2005, 728 minutes
Genres: Television, Drama, Comedy / Courtroom

Feat. James Spader, William Shatner, Monica Potter, Candice Bergen, Rene Auberjonois

Aroview: Irreverent spinoff to THE PRACTICE adds a thwack of biting comedy to some familiar courtroom antics, chiefly courtesy of star turns from James Spader and a career-reviving William Shatner.

Based around the cases and happenings of the civil law section of a renowned Boston legal firm, this amply displays producer David E. Kelly's (ALLY MCBEAL) talent for designing quirky, yet resonant storylines and letting actors develop their characters with a certain wildness and humour.

4 stars (Very Good) One of my favourite first-season series, Boston Legal provides plenty of laughs and drama, in a quirky but not quite too over-the-top way. Well, until Denny gets his hands on things! ~Tom H

5 stars (Exceptional) James Spader is perfect for the role of Alan Shaw - a brilliant lawyer who isn't afraid to take on any case. Several interesting characters make up the law firm, but William Shatner's Danny Crane is the best. Good drama and intelligent comedy. ~Square Eyes
