tv journal: boston legal

Legal dramas are nice and efficient ways to cut through our social fabric and expose the ethical dilemmas of our time to the mass public. that's what lawyers everywhere do (especially litigation lawyers). David e Kelly is the light hearted and innovated creator and producer behind the entertaining series of boston legal which i found myself addicted to lately. the screen presences of james spader (alan shore) and william shatner (denny crane) are magical and forceful. james spader's closings are the most fascinating on screen deliveries i've seen for a long time, that he never deliver his closings in a less-than-perfect manner, which is extraordinary.

lawyers can be extremely pressurized and it shows. their mental state have to be so professional i positively think each and every litigation lawyer should seek mental counsel after a while to de-pressurize.

alan shore is a kinder person at heart than his usual demeanour. it shows in his generosity towards the poor, underlings, the disabled, the disadvantaged, and deceased. his distaste for the war and the bush administration in general is evident.
