ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Steineded How sad is this?

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

jcc586 The Practice is easily the greatest legal drama ever created. It stands as one the greatest shows of the 1990s. The cast was great from top to bottom, headlined by the exceptional Dylan McDermott, Steve Harris, and Cameron Manheim. David E. Kelley crafted a brilliant show with exceptional writing and great character development. It is a shame that the Practice did not find a larger audience (it was only in the top ten once) because it was definitely worth watching. Even though I was a little bit disappointed with the last two seasons of the show (with the exception of the great James Spader) it is still a classic.I can't believe this show has an IMDb rating of only of 7.2 it deserves a 10.

plkcsk Please - When are all 8 series of that fantastic programme, THE PRACTICE, going to be released on DVD?? When? When? When? For those who do not know the series, the following is a summary: Set in Boston, The Practice centres on a firm of passionate attorneys to whom every case is important and every client worth a fight to the end. Legal manipulations are the firm's modus operandi, and they have it down to a science, making even the most questionable arguments convincing. And while they can't — and don't — win every trial, the pursuit of justice remains the priority until the final verdict is announced … and sometimes afterwards. Pursuing justice, however, often confronts them with serious ethical and moral issues of conscience. But please - when is it coming out on DVD??

shirdav would like to be able to purchase episodes that are not screened in the UK. Excellent series with brilliant acting and story lines. We especially like Jimmy, and his expressions are wonderful. The programme is shown in the England on channel itv3. It is on daily and cannot wait for next episode.The episodes with the William Hinks trial were particularly exciting. Also Ellenor's friendship with George (head in a bag) were gripping stories. Lucy's comments are funny and well timed.Eugene has a lovely smile and the story about his son and their relationship were good episodes.Bobby and Lindsay's hot and cold relationship make good television. I cannot rate this series higher, it's "the business" Shirley, Knottingley ,England.

policy134 David E. Kelley was of course a major asset for L.A. Law because of his experience as a lawyer. Therefore, he had an insider's knowledge and his scripts were also considered the show's best. Here we get basically the same premise but instead of focusing on wealthy lawyers from the West, we get blue collar lawyers (if such a thing exists) from the east. The sunny atmosphere of L.A. Law has been darkened considerably and I think that every single character has some kind of depressive side to them. That makes it hard to even think of them as the good guys, also because of the questionable clients they represent.The Bobby Donnell character, played by Dylan McDermott, is nowhere near as sleazy as his fellow lawyers think he is but McDermott plays him like an angry loner and that does not spell mega appeal to many. So why did this show survive so many seasons? I think it mainly has to do with the oddball guest stars, like John Larroquette as a totally despicable and narcissistic killer or the self-serving female judge who uses sexual blackmail and then abuses her power when her advances are not reciprocated. There seems to have been a combined effort of everybody to make everything as bleak as possible in sharp contrast to the sister show, Ally McBeal but that could only be counted as a blessing since that show tried too hard to be quirky. Like so many other shows featuring lawyers it got a little melodramatic at times but for the most part the courtroom action was exciting and the few times the case at hand wasn't that interesting the next episode featured a case that was totally worth the wait.Anybody that has seen just a few episodes will probably not like it at once because it takes a little time to get totally into it. If you can be addicted to seeing human misery, the name of the drug is called "The Practice".
