Jimmy is a fucking treasure, though. I always get emotional when he turns down the cash settlement in favour of getting the little girl surgery instead.

Boston Legal is a great show. It went a bit too off-the-rails in season 4 when some cast changes meant that the wackier characters started to outnumber the "straight man" roles, which knackered the balance and meant that the jokes didn't land as well, but it pulled it back for S5, which had such a satisfying ending.

I can see what you mean. That being said, I thought season three's lows were the nadir of the show and season four pulled it back with the addition of Katie Lloyd.

The most divisive part of the show is probably Jerry Espenson. I haven't seen his actor in anything else, but I know he's a good buddy of James Spader and they've acted in a lot of other things. He gives me that vibe of "able-bodied actor overacts a disability". That being said, I like Jerry as a character - it just feels a bit like the show doing jazz hands and going "Asperger's!!" whenever Jerry does something that strays significantly from the norm.
