Ally McBeal (Calista Flockhart) is ... well, from a chap's
point of view ... neurotic and has a terrible habit of letting
her emotions go feral on her. She's a great lawyer but, oh
boy, is pretty crap at relationships.
And there are relationships to be had aplenty. Her old flame
Billy (Gil Bellows) works for the firm, but he's married to
a legal colleague Georgia (Courtney Thorne-Smith) and is supposedly
off-limits. The bosses of the firm - Fish (Greg Germann) and
Cage (Peter MacNicol) are different sorts of lads and pretty
much seem to back up what all we non-lawyers tend to think
about that profession.
So in between the court dramas and the love dramas there
is a massive amount of quality comedy that won the series
absolute bag-fulls of Emmy awards.
The transfer is very good, considering the television base
of the show, and has a beautiful colour range. It isn't perfect,
by any means, but there are very few glitches to horrify your
eyes. The sound is spot on and the all-important dialogue
is clear and easy to understand.
All up, a pretty good little package that McBeal fans will
consider a must.
