CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Euan Mitchell Newton's Law brilliantly balances dramatic and comedic story-lines in a highly entertaining series. I enjoyed Claudia Karvan's lead character (Josephine Newton) as much as Richard Roxburgh's legendary character Rake, even though they are very different types of barristers.The main dramatic thread in each episode handles current or unusual legal issues in an original and engaging way. The supporting story-lines provide comedy, charm and clever plot developments that seamlessly complement each court case. The sexual tension between Claudia Karvan and Toby Schmitz (Lewis Hughes) plays out with continual twists and allure across the first season. More please!!!

gregrose-96395 Great story lines, great characters and incredibly interesting to see a legal show actually follow legal processes. No more of the fake "I OBJECT" shows, this show empowers women as the main character is showing she isn't just there for looks. Could do without the Husband story line but other than that, it is a really good show. It is no Janet King, but ABC seem to have found the formula for a show that works.

Harry Harison Characters are caricatures, which is probably suppose to be funny, but it isn't. Newton's Law fails as both comedy and a drama (non-existent anyway). Script is two-bit clichés thrown together. There are so many law shows, to stand out you have to come up with something innovative (or excel on old and improved), this show has none of it.Save your valuable time for something worthwhile, this isn't it.4/10, and I'm being generous.

adam-703-808689 To be honest, I only watched 15 minutes of Episode One, but I was astounded by the number of levels on which this comedy-drama drove itself into a ditch and stayed there, writhing with wrongness. Scripting, characterisation, casting, direction, costume design, production design, art-direction, photography, colour, acting... all are a series of horrible mistakes wrought by people who seem to have no idea of drama. Really! It's like being a passenger in a car which heads the wrong way from the start of the journey; doesn't even try to find the right way, and keeps driving up dead-end streets, and doing u-turns in the hope that merciless quirkiness will amuse. I'm sure a lot of people worked very hard to make this, so please forgive my damnation, but...wow! Perhaps the drama suddenly found its way after the 15 minutes for which I viewed it, but it was not an auspicious quarter of an hour. It did occur to me that Newton's Law is a strategic move in the alleged plan for Michelle Guthrie to destroy the ABC.
