Boston Legal: Season Five Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The genius that is David E Kelly and Boston Legal. There have been a handful of shows that I consider to be the very best of what television has to offer and Boston Legal is at the very top of the list.
At the centre of the show is the relationship between Alan Shore and Denny Crane. These charachers have so richly been brought to life by the remarkable talents of James Spader and William Shatner.
Who would have thought William Shatner of all people would go on to play one of the truly wonderful and eccentric characters on TV. You never know where the character is going to go, but you know you're in for one unbelieveable ride!
He is equally matched and more so in my eyes by that of James Spader. He continues to amaze me as to how he delivers superlative performances episode after episode. It's just staggering to watch his talent at work and it has been an absolute pleasure to have watched him in all his Alan Shore glory. During the 5 year run, he was at the very best of his game and not many could truly match him in this regard.
The relationship between the two is what makes the show truly great. Having watched the characters develop over the years, starting with "The Practice" has been pure joy and something that doesn't come along often.
I have also enjoyed watching the other characters througout it's run. It's great to see Candice Bergen display her wonderful talents yet again on the small screen. She gets better as she gets older! Her first episode on the show, "Schmidt Happens" is still one of my favourites and the banter between Bergen and Spader is one to behold.
Christian Clemenson and Tara Summers both deserve a special mention for both drawing out and making the characters of Jerry and Katie all their own. I could so easily watch both of them in their own spin-off!
And finally, the show would not be what it is without the glorious writing talents of David E Kelly. I just marvel at the writing and without it, there would be no Boston Legal.
As much as I hate to see the show disappear from the small screen so soon, it is better to get out on top and that is where it will always be!

Boston Legal - Season One (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a Judge for the past 12 years. Often when selecting a jury the attorneys will ask the jurors "who watches Boston Legal?" Attorneys laugh and say "well this is not TV this is reality." I want to jump off the bench and yell "so is much of Boston Legal", but I can't.Boston Legal is a real hoot. For any attoney who has worked in a large law firm you can see many of the same people you work with in the Boston Legal characters. Denny Crane is the man and I can assure you that many of his likes exist in the legal system. They are a royal pain to Judges. You either love them or dislike them. Great story lines and wonderful casting keeps this Judge smiling.

Led by an Emmy Award-winning cast (James Spader, Denny Crane and Candice Bergen), "Boston Legal" tells the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. Fast-paced and darkly comedic, the series confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law.
