I think there was a thread on this before but a search did nto find it. Been watching this on CBS drama on Sky, and it is just brilliant IMO! Some of the charactrers are so dark, clever and stupid in equal measure.

And it has Rona Mitra in it....! ! ! Just about the sexiest thing with tits IMO!

Anyone else watch it?

A brilliant series. I got utterly addicted to it. I love the odd bits where they break the fourth wall, and some very, very clever little self-references where they shouldn't be! In fact, I may go and watch it again. Alan Shure is a fantastic character and played superbly by Spader.

They do chop and change the cast around a little bit too much though.

Superb programme, one of my favourites.

The cast does change too often, some characters even disappear without any explanation.

Most of the writing is brilliant. I think towards the end of it's run it was running out of steam, repeating storylines, reduced number of characters etc.

Denny and Alan are a great double act.

Lock and load!! shoot

yes I love the fact that it is a TV show that knows it's a TV show. The best self-reference? When Jerry Espenson is meeting with Shirley about coming back to the practice and says something like:

JE "When I walk around here I get a little tune in my head that I just can't stop humming"
SS "Care to share it with me?" - to which Jerry starts singing the show's theme music hehe

Excellent series....up to Series 4, when it really seemed to go off the boil and turned into an Obama love-fest by the final season.
(We have Series 1-3 box sets)

Or the one when at the usual last scene, when Denny and Alan partake in whisky and a cigar on the balcony, Alan walks in and says 'Hi Denny, haven't seen you much in his episode'

Some great characters, Alan's dialogue with Melvin Palmer and Judge Brown is hilarious.

Thought I'd better check there hadn't been a thread before and lo and behold there was!

Been watching this as CBS Drama has repeated each series (one more to go frown ) Absolutely brilliant program which the wife loves as well. The characters and their relationships are brilliant - especially Denny who says everything that you just really want to say but couldn't!
