The Most Under Rated Series....Ever! October 17, 2008
Mr. A. R. Castor (London, England)
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I completley agree with another reviewer..you have to be a little bit mad to actually enjoy Ally to the full.
br /Make no bones, this isn't no Friends, no Sex in The City, nowhere near a 'girly series'. This is an incredible and mindblowing, and possibly life-changing series that is so well written its almost impossible to comprehend the intelligence of the writer.
br /Ally will make you cry, male or female, because it gets through all your barriers and certain episodes just hit raw nerves that seem so well protected. The comedy is not canned laughter, its sublime, and was never really intended to be a 'laugh a minute series', its a lot more serious than that.
br /All of the characters are fantastic in their own right but Ally and John Cage steal the show with some dialogue, and closing arguments in court, that will leave you thinking about your life and where you are at for a very long time.
br /I watched Ally the first time round, maybe 9 years ago, and own all the box sets. Ive just started to watch them again, and ive just started to think again.....
br /Forget the Sopranos, this is the work of a genius.....
Great show - fun to watch July 5, 2008

You need to love really stupid and bizzare humour to enjoy Ally McBeal. Luckily I do and so I love it. I came to the show late and this is my first time watching (now nearing the end of season 4) but I have found the characters quite addictive - especially John Cage. Not sure I want to watch season 5 having read some of the reviews - esp. the loss of key actors.
br /
br /The one big disappointment about this set is the almost complete lack of extras. There are two full sets listed on Amazon - one (the other one) refers to loads of extras such as interviews, commentaries and cut scenes as included with individual season purchases (however one reviewer on that listing says they don't exist on the individual seasons). They certainly don't exist in this package which is a great pity. There is the odd featurette (a few minutes long) at the end of some of the seasons but I can't believe there weren't hilarious out-takes from this lunatic cast and surely a few cast members could have contributed the odd commentary! What a pity.
A Must Have collection of one of the best shows ever! December 19, 2007

This is the greatest thing I've seen in a long time. In the U.S. they never released these shows on DVD because of the music rights or something. When i found i could get them from Amazon UK i was so stoked! Note: you do need a region free or region 2 dvd player to use these but they work flawlessly if you do. This is over 30 DVD's of 5 seasons of at least 20 episodes per season. What a great price for such an extensive compilation. Way to go, Fox!
A series way ahead of it's time! April 25, 2009

Ally McBeal-The unlucky women who can't find love, goes off into a dreamworld, and gets into endless trouble... seems like a lifetime ago on television-I don't think anything has been on since, well it aired nearly ten years ago, strange that I saw this the first time around when I was 16 and when it finished nearly going into my early 20's.
br /
br /I always did love the program even when it had it's sad moments (I won't let on) and I have a kooky sense of humour so Ally McBeal fulfilled this.
br /
br /It made me realise it was alright to be weird and complex. Friends (the program and people i knew) never did this and should have stopped after season6/7, Fraiser was close but went on way too long and dried up, Sex in the City was way too superficial, and way too predictable. It pretty much influenced Scrubs and many more...
br /
br /The beauty of this series was how the characters developed Richard Fish, Ling, Elaine, Georgia, and especially Ally and John Cage, you got to know them so deeply that you started to see charteristics via your friends or while you were at work.
br /
br /David E Kelly's writing was extraordinary different from Chicago Hope(another great program) and he was a original writer on LA Law, but the writing here is definitely quite interesting for a weirdo-i reckon a mixture of Fish and Cage is very similar to him in real life-just a hunch. Plus he is married to Michelle Pfeiffer-lucky man...
br /
br /For the price this series is a bargain, I only wish their was outtakes (which I only imagined happened).
br /
br /But if you want to watch a series that is deep, interesting and humourous, I would highly happily advise this one...

Ally McBeal - The Complete DVD Collection
br /I loved Ally McBeal but had missed a lot of episodes, so thought this would be a great set to buy, and IT IS! I'm in the US, and purchased an inexpensive DVD player compatible with Region 2 DVDs. I ordered this set of the complete collection at a wonderful price, and received it from the UK less than 1 week after ordering (free shipment). Hours and hours of entertainment, great stars and guest stars ... you can't go wrong with this 5 season DVD collection or the service from Amazon UK. I'll definitely be a repeat customer!
