Alice in the Wonderland of the Legal System. A Canadian Gem! This program is amazing! The characters are full of depth and humor and pathos. The stories are true slices of life; full of the incredible complexities of real human experience. I love that the stories are not neat little packages to be tied up at the end of the episode. The dialog rings true every time. While there is sorrow and angst in the character's lives, the wry humor in this series is intelligent and very enjoyable. I only wish there were more seasons available and even more I wish CBC in its infinite wisdom had not cancelled it.
Legal TV that is also human I'm not a fan of lawyer shows, but this is a show about human beings, some of whom are lawyers, some of whom are judges, some of whom are accused and all of whom are changed by the experience. Funny and heart breaking and educational about what it's like to live underneath the headlines.
