Boston Legal

Genre: Drama, Comedy

Starring: William Shatner, James Spader, Candice Bergen 

“Ethically-challenged attorney Alan Shore, formerly of Young, Frutt & Berluti, settles in at a wealthy and powerful firm focusing on civil cases. With some help from his friend and mentor, veteran attorney Denny Crane, Shore quickly makes his mark winning cases no one would take, often using less than honest methods. In doing so, he develops a rival in his colleague Brad Chase, who has been assigned to the office partly to keep an eye on the increasingly eccentric (and possibly senile) Denny Crane. Though his questionable conduct might make him a few enemies along the way, Alan's not one to be underestimated, nor will he let trivial things like honesty or integrity get in the way of winning a case”

Originally a spin-off series of the popular television show The Practice, Boston Legal is one of those television shows that once you watch one episode, you are immediately hooked. The chemistry between the main characters Denny Crane and Alan Shore is one of the most appealing aspects of the series, as their hilarious, even romantic relationship creates a variety of hilarious situations which will leave audiences rolling in their seats. Boston Legal is entertaining because not only does it provide hilarious courtroom situations, with the main character’s witty remarks and comments, but it also provides a deep, often controversial view on a variety of ethical issues. These issues often concern real life, every day people, who are going through situations in which the main characters help resolve. This balance between both drama and comedy creates a thoroughly entertaining show which will leave audiences demanding more. The only downside that can be see to Boston Legal was that it was cancelled after only 5 seasons.
