Ally McBeal (1997–2002)
8/10
Fun and Creative
31 May 2023
A extremely creative show. It was constantly pushing the limits. Very funny comedy and very touching drama. Many surprises and plot twists. It was about lawyers and love. But it excelled in areas that you wouldn't expect. It's a musical with a variety of great singers and great songs, (although a little too much at times). Many funny, quirky aspects throughout. Such as John's courtroom water pouring and the oft used Barry White theme. But some stupid aspects too. Like Johns frog, and his Mexican singing. If you like special effects without aliens and super hero's, Ally McBeal has plenty of that. If you like creative sound effects, this is almost as good as the Three Stooges. If you like great editing, it's as good as it gets. On the flip side, many of the personal plots were on the interesting yet corny side. If there was a weakest part of the show, it would be most of the trials. Very unrealistic. But who cares. Most of the trials covered interesting and unusual scenarios, but they were as believable as Perry Mason. The search for love life stories that the cast constantly dealt with became somewhat redundant and predictable.

Despite some of my complaints, it was a fun show to watch. Thank you David E. Kelley.
