Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

rasecs When Denny Crane was introduced on The Practice I thought it would be too much having 2 nutjobs in the same law office. I was wrong. They even made room for several more. The wackiness works and the relationships between them all (especially Alan & Denny) are very amusing. Over time I've noticed some melding of characters and their speech patterns. The Alan Shore type monologues are being delivered by others now. That's understandable over time I guess and not as pervasive here as Shonda-speak or the West Wing patter. That is about as critical as I could get about such an enormously enjoyable series that isn't afraid to call out important controversial issues that still persist a decade later while occasionally taking a leak on the leg of the person feeding them. By the way, look at the cast members (and crew) that have come and gone. Whether recurring or one-offs, there are none better. Oh, and just one more thing, the music is always exceptional.

carriedragicevic I watched Boston Legal when it first aired more than 10 years ago and loved it. I recently decided to binge watch it again. I must say, I can't think of a show that holds up better. Denny Crane and Alan Shore have the sweetest relationship on television, romantic or not. They are a testament to the power of love and friendship and its ability to overcome idealogical differences that so often tear us apart. James Spader and William Shatner were absolute perfection in their roles. Speaking of casting - there was quite a bit of turnover throughout the series, and that was at times a bit jarring. You would become invested in characters only to have the disappear without a trace. But I find it fogivable because 1) the core cast (namely Spader, Shatner, and Candice Bergen) were phenomenal and consistent and 2) the cast really did improve over time with the final two seasons being some of the best. John Larroquette and Christian Clemensom were particularly excellent additions! (I do with Gary Anthony Williams had been around for the final season (with perhaps some more appearances by alter-ego Clarice!) but I can't complain.) To call out all of the wonderful recurring characters would be too cumbersome, but know that there are many and they are wonderful!The occasional breaking of the fourth wall was always a delightful surprise and contributed to the show's very unique combination of drama, issue-tackling, and laugh-out-loud comedy. The finale - I hate to see my favorite shows end, particularly because they are almost always unsatisfactory conclusions. BL is a definite exception! Without giving anything away, very little could've been done to make it a happier ending for beloved characters. I wish this show had gotten more love from the network when it aired; and I wish one of the streaming services would pick it up. More people need to see this wonderful show.

Smoreni Zmaj "Boston Legal" is a spin-off ("The Practice"), which has surpassed the parent series. It is definitely the best series of its kind and one of the best series of all time, for me, perhaps even the best. This is one of the strongest tens I've ever given, because it is perfect in every way. The superb cast, led by James Spader and William Shatner, convincingly presents a huge range of different characters and their mutual relationships. The series brings complex characters in insane court processes, with incredible twists. Moving drama and hilarious humor are perfectly balanced at all times. Through crazy and caricatured, but realistic and believable situations, this show opens up a number of serious political and life issues, and at the same time causes laughter and deep self-reflection. Every character will be your favorite and every episode will seem the best one. There's simply no weak point.11/10

bravesfan35 This show ended way before it should have. I never get tired of watching this show. Between Alan's countless humorous speeches to Denny's gun-loving goofiness, this show delivers many laughs. I know some people were unhappy about the constant cast changes and how it was never explained why each character suddenly disappeared but who cares? Alan and Denny may have been the only ones who were in every single episode but they were the ones who made the show funny. The only complaint I have about it is that Rene Auberjonois wasn't a regular in every season. He was a regular in the first 3 seasons but only appeared in 1 season 4 episode and 3 season 5 episodes. Anyway, I was happy to see this spin-off of The Practice. Unfortunately, as seems to be with a lot of David E. Kelley shows, it ended way before its time. I'm surprised he kept The Practice going for 8 seasons.
