This show was one of the greatest tv shows ever and for years I have waited for it to be released. This finally was, but it is not even the full season one and it adds a couple episodes in from season two, which makes no sense. Why can't they all be released, in order?? This show has it all, great writing, superb acting and a reality of what a law firm is like in the city of Boston that is struggling to make it. These lawyers have to defend anyone, the lowest criminals, just to make the rent. They often feel dirty and the viewer is certainly sucked in to each episode, feeling what they convey so wondrously onscreen. Terrific cast, I just wish I could own the whole series. The series is 5 stars, the DVD collection is less. David E. Kelley is a wonderful creator, but this is different than Ally Mcbeal and Boston Legal, it's not as funny, it's more dramatic and gritty.
