About
"Absurd legal antics hiding real heart and politics"
A spinoff of The Practice, this show follows the eccentric lawyers of a Boston firm, anchored by the brilliant, morally slippery Alan Shore and his blustery, aging partner Denny Crane. Cases of the week give way to sharp courtroom monologues that double as social commentary, but the real draw is the odd-couple friendship at its center. Tonally it swings from farce to genuine pathos within a single episode, often ending each night with the two leads on a balcony, scotch in hand, talking through what actually matters. It's breezy, talky, and surprisingly moving.
the electric, scene-stealing chemistry between James Spader and William Shatner as an unlikely pair of friends.
you want realistic legal procedure rather than heightened, monologue-heavy courtroom theatrics.
Written by our AI editor to help you decide, spoiler-free by design.
