Boston Legal: Season 1
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the courtroom.
Led by an Emmy Award-winning cast (James Spader, William Shatner 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.

Another David E. Kelley success - Boston Legal is witty and engaging. How can you not love William Shatner? His zany antics & courtroom brilliance will add new phrases to your vocabulary and bring back some old ones. If you enjoy legal drama and appreciate great actors & a great script, you'll love Boston Legal.Good TV - Ralston_McTodd
If you're looking for an enjoyable show that makes you think--but not too hard--then this is it. The legal aspects are often unrealistic, but it doesn't matter. This is not a grim slice-of-life look at the profession. The law is both an excuse and a backdrop for character and situation. At the beginning of season 1, Denny Crane (Shatner) and Alan Shore (Spader)are delightful devils playing havoc with a staid law firm. By season's end, they are far too close to being likeable (if not lovable) but still fun to watch. Sometimes the humour overpowers any sense of drama, but that doesn't matter either. The writing is witty and the lead characters (Shatner, Spader, Bergen and Auberjonois) are always worth watching.
