In terms of a courtroom type show it becomes completely awful and stops trying to be that after like the first season. Every episode is just like 40 minutes of them screwing around and losing the case horribly then they give some long winded soap box speech about the state of society and win every time.

But if you do not care about accuracy at all it is pretty great. It is just an entertaining and fun to watch show. And even then it isn't very good except for James Spader who is just one of the best personalities in media ever in the perfect role for him. Which elevates the show to pretty great status just off that.

My man, this is from like season three.

Don't get me wrong, season 3 has Alan Shore's sleaziness cranking up to unlikable levels and weird topics like incest coming up way too much. Season 3 is the nadir of the show and it never quite recovers. But season 4 introduces Katie Lloyd and her relationship with Jerry, and I think she saves the later half of the show.

After years of characters coming and going, Katie Lloyd was the perfect series regular to bring on full time. The first couple of seasons are better, but she is the best part of seasons 4 through 6. Though even saying that, the show is always capable of these great character moments.
