Matthew M @RT06674791 Aug 9 I'm a late millennial. I barely caught the world before the internet when I was really a conscious human being. I love a wide variety of lawyer and law enforcement based shows and how the ethical dilemmas force you to consider things more deeply than surface level. This show is truly something else in that regard. It feels like it understands what a lawyer drama should be more than any lawyer drama I've ever seen, and frankly, it's baffling to me that I've watched so much lawyer drama released after this show that is inferior in the most important writing aspects, which are the core of this genre. The way negotiations take place between keeping things afloat, interpersonal between the firm itself, the DAs office or judges, or clients... It's just an absolutely baffling masterclass. You should be taped to a chair and forced to watch this show before you write for Law and Order. See more Mike P @RT09890132 08/05/2023 David E. Kelley's masterful courtroom drama; which was both very popular and critically acclaimed in it's day... And it still holds up brilliantly all these years later! (It's hard to believe this came out during the same era as Friends and Melrose Place which look like ancient relics now). It gets a little bogged down in serial killer antics about halfway through; there's one episode when they're being stalked by three different serial killers at the same time! (Ridiculously!) But the thrilling crime epics depicted here retain the same twisty nail-biting suspense and visceral power as when they first aired in the 90s; they're that brilliantly conceived by David E. Kelley and acted out by the masterful cast. Series highlights include: "Vanished, Parts 1 and 2"; "One of Those Days"; "This Pud's For You"; "Mr. Hinks Goes to Town"; "Poor Richard's Almanac"; "Free Dental"; "Mr. Shore Goes to Town"; "New Evidence Part 1"; "Hammerhead Sharks Part 2"; "Happily Ever After" and "The Case Against Alan Shore". Also look fast for "Axe Murderer"; that's the crossover episode with Calista Flockhart and Ally McBeal!! See more Read all reviews
