What a fantastic series this is. I do like a courtroom drama. Over the years there have been a wealth of quality slick U. S courtroom dramas and I honestly think this is the best one off them all. Very very funny and the acting is superb from the whole cast. Im not sure how or why it hasn't won more awards and accolades . William Shatner is just excellent is the aging superstar attorney, providing most of the laughs with his failing mental health and crazy behaviour (Denny Crane) BUT James Spader is on another level, giving us the dramatic closing speeches that are wonderfully written and wonderfully delivered. But the thing with this series that makes it even better is the character development. Shatner and Spaders man to man love of each other is a joy to watch and see grow, Ive not seen this type of story between 2 leading actors in a series ever before. Mixed into this is Spaders characters loneliness and vulnerability, you come away feeling sad for him. It's one of the very few programs I look forward to sitting down and watch, the last one being House MD. Candice Bergen is the grownup mother type character who seems like the only sane lawyer in the building. I watch this show and just smile, its funny/poignant and touching. Im just starting the third series. I really hope it remains this good to the end. I really think there's a spin off to be had with this program, showing Denny Crane as a younger lawyer at the start of his career, to see why his is so awesome and why his name alone can win cases. American writers show again why they are the best in the world.
