Boston Legal, yet another David E. Kelley yarn about a pack of attractive Beantown lawyers, follows Housewives at 10, but it just can’t compete. While the show features the brilliant James Spader in its central role as a creepy-but-likeable prosecutor, Spader??€™s enjoyable presence is canceled out by William Shatner’s burnt-out senior partner (a living metaphor for ol’ Captain Kirk’s career, perhaps?) and the obnoxious camerawork...
This is also Kelley’s first show to feature strong men and wishy-washy women, a flip-flop from his usual pseudo-feminist productions.
