Boston Legal

L'avvocato Alan Shore, inizia a lavorare in un potente studio legale che si occupa di cause civili. Con l'aiuto di Denny Crane, Shore si impone rapidamente, vincendo cause che altri non accetterebbero, spesso con metodi non del tutto onesti. In questo modo sviluppa una rivalità con il collega Brad Chase, che è stato assegnato all'ufficio per tenere d'occhio l'eccentrico Crane. Inizialmente intitolata Fleet Street, in riferimento alla strada di Boston in cui hanno sede gli uffici dello studio legale Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Boston Legal è uno spin-off di The Practice, altra serie a sfondo legale creata da David E. Kelley.

1		Stagione 1	Un gruppo di brillanti avvocati lavorano nel foro di Boston. Il loro obiettivo primario è sconfiggere gli avversari, anche oltrepassando i limiti del legale. A capo dello studio legale vi è Alan Shore che, licenziato dallo studio ”Young, Berluti, & Frutt”, va a lavorare alla ”Crane, Poole & Schmidt” insieme al veterano avvocato e co-fondatore dello studio Denny Crane. Gli avvocati dello studio “Crane, Poole & Schmidt” sono più agguerriti che mai! Alan Shore (James Spader) e Danny Crane (William Shatner), seguono tenacemente l’obiettivo di sconfiggere i loro avversari con ogni mezzo, anche a costo di oltrepassare i confini della legge. Vincono sempre le cause, anche se il loro cliente è colpevole, e quindi molto spesso in questa serie tv non è la Giustizia a trionfare, come invece insegnano le trame di Perry Mason, capostipite di tutte le legal drama.	2004	17	D
