Ally McBeal Reviews

Well, if you want a run down of characters and the premise of the show, read Chandler2k`s BRILLIANT opinion - any attempt to explain this show would be a palling plagiarism of that. So, I'll just give my "opinion" on the show. I was an avid watcher when the series first began. Couldn't quite make out Ally McBeal - she was funny and ...  Read the complete review

When it first came out I really liked Ally McBeal, an American drama / comedy set in a legal firm, it had a quirky slightly surreal feel to it with the strange mind that was the main character Ally McBeal a solicitor in a firm of rather strange individuals. Over time though I soon got bored with it as the plot lines became all the more ...  Read the complete review

Ally McBeal is a sit-com based around a law firm and the main character Ally McBeal. She's not like most people, she's quite the narrotic lady always in her own imagination and with her drama. It begins with sexual harrassment (something you will come to enjoy watching on the series), which leaves Ally out of a job... bumping into an old fellow ...  Read the complete review

I used to love watching this show back in School, so when I spotted this complete box set of Ally McBeal for £35 last year, I leaped at the chance to buy it. The show ran from 1997 until 2002. From what I can recall, the first season begins with Ally getting touched inappropriately by a boss and trying to sue him, then after leaving ...  Read the complete review

Kelly, (Boston Legal and Chicago Hope) comes this fantastic comedy which is Ally McBeal.

We were allowed to share the turbulent and exciting life of Ally McBeal for five long years. Every week we looked through the keyhole to please us about Ally's sometimes quite confused way of life and sometimes also to shake one's head. What probably held most one's breath was her indefatigable search for Mr. Right. There was Billy - ...  Read the complete review

So what's this show about? Well Ally McBeal is all about a Boston law firm, and as you can tell from the title it is basically centred around the life of Ally McBeal, although not heavily as there are many other characters involved. The Law firm is named Cage & Fish after it's two partners John Cage and Richard Fish. John Cage ...  Read the complete review

Ally McBeal is a Courtroom Drama with a difference. It is set a Boston Law firm called Cage and Fish, now as law firms go this one is slightly different. It has a ecocentric female lawyer (Ally), a sex craving partner (Richard Fish), another partner who can do strange things with his nose (John Cage) and that without even mentioning the face ...  Read the complete review

Ally McBeal - woman of the..90s? no, Naughties. The subject of many a philosophical debate, the main one being - is it just a chick flick? Many a guy cuddling up with his lady in front of the telly will have been baffled about the source of the fits of laughter his woman is in - it's a subtle sort of feminine humour, to be honest, but ...  Read the complete review

Ally McBeal is a fun take on the "legal eagle" comedy-dramas that we've seen over the past few years, with a nod towards 90's sensibilities. If I was to categorise it, I'd say it was somewhere between LA Law and Bridget Jones - it's definitely pitched at the "chick-flick" market. The series ...  Read the complete review

I have been a big fan of Ally Mcbeal since the very first episode. The show combines humour with emotion and originality, and you really care what happens to the characters. Which is what my problem with it is. I like Ally's quirks and occasional dillusions, but recently it has been getting to the point of outright insanity. Her constant ...  Read the complete review

Can her world be for real? Narrrrrrrr thats why its such an interesting American sitcom. We find it so interesting because our life's are just so boring compared to this fictional character. Ally mcbeal(Callister Flockhart ) lives in a dream world of her own hallucinated about dancing babys, she works in a law firm as a lawyer owned by Cage ...  Read the complete review

Ok, anyone who says that women like the show Ally McBeal because they identify with the lead character (Ally) has to be a bloke. I don't think that us girls like watching Ally McBeal because we feel some connection to the poor luckless lawyer, it's because it makes us feel better about ourselves. No matter how bad things get at least ...  Read the complete review

A must see! - Advantages: extremely entertaining, great actors, interesting topics - Disadvantages: only on once a week

Ally McBeal is one of those shows that love it or hate it is compulsive viewing. It has the ability to make you both laugh and cry in the same hour slot. Now in it’s fourth series over here I have decided to put in my 2p worth about the show that I simply cannot miss. …WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Ally McBeal is a ...  Read the complete review

Very funy - Advantages: fany, delicious - Disadvantages: is too short

As my wife rolls around the floor with Laughter during Ally McBeal, I sit there, asking her to point out what was funny. Directions, a map-reading, Global positioning? Anything... Just please point out where the humour is? It has got to be one of the worst programmes on TV. An American attempt at dry wit I think. ...  Read the complete review

hot shit - Advantages: funny, deals with important issues - Disadvantages: occassionaly inaccurate

How can you guys call this tripe funny? Its about as funny as songs of praise, literally. Who wants to watch another American so called 'sitcom' that isnt in the least bit funny compared to a British comedy like 'the office'. Ally McBeal is a neurotic, thick Boston woman in her mid 20s i think, and her character ...  Read the complete review
