Argueably the best series of ally mcbeal. For any fan of the show that has not purchased this dvd yet, what are you waiting for?! you know you want it! I mean who doesnt...this series introduces larry paul (the fantastic robert downing jr) to the familiar setup. Along with ally they possess the same chemistry that was felt between herself and billy, however this time the relationship is obtainable, sit back and watch the laughter follow the tears and enjoy that feel good factor inevitable from the viewing!

The two star rating might seem a bit harsh, but for me, this is not a patch on the previous seasons. During the first two this was one of the best shows on TV: innovative, funny, moving; and the third just about made the grade. However, by the fourth season a lot of the original characters have started to move on and the show just doesn't have the same spark about it.
One of the positives is the introduction of Larry (Robert Downey Jr.), he's a really appealing male character something which I always found to be a bit thin on the ground in Ally McBeal, however due to the actor's personal problems his character was brought in and out of the show in a way that really messed with the narrative. Apart from this the new characters brought in just weren't as carefully crafted. Some of the story lines were a bit weird, such as Mark dating a transvestite and some of the episodes were just horrible - quite a few on this DVD are completely forgetable or even skipable.
Oh, and for some reason, for the first few episodes they have a voice over for Ally which is completely lazy and superfluous and doesn't fit in, as they'd never had it before.
So, I wouldn't necessarily recommend getting this series as I got the first three and held off on this one for a while. In the end, as I loved the first three so much I decided to go for it, but after watching the whole thing I kind of kicked myself for not sticking to my gut instinct.

THIS IS DEFINATLEY THE BEST OF ALLY MCBEAL. FUNNY, POIGNANT AND SENTIMENTAL. THE GORGEOUS, FANTASTIC ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS AT HIS BEST AND IS BASICALLY WHAT MAKES THIS SERIES. IT JUST GETS BETTER THE MORE YOU WATCH. LONG LIVE ALLY MCBEAL.....

The usual Ally McBeal stuff, but less fun
After series three, Ally McBeal loses it's original charm, probably because Ally becomes more serious about finding Mr Right. Read more

BEST SEASON!
This season, in my opinion is the best one! When Larry joins the gang, he makes Ally slightly more bearable, it was a shame that they broke up. Read more
