Boston Legal (2004)
Boston Legal is streaming in New Zealand on Disney Plus.
The verdict
Boston Legal has pulled the kind of numbers most English series never see. It carries a 7.9/10 on TMDB across 399 ratings — comfortably clear of the pack. Episodes clock in around 42 minutes. In New Zealand you can stream it on Disney Plus.
Is it worth starting?
This is 5 seasons deep — English comedy with a drama streak. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- Currently 7.9/10 from 399 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
Alan Shore and Denny Crane lead a brigade of high-priced civil litigators in an upscale Boston law firm in a series focusing on the professional and personal lives of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. A spin-off of long-running series The Practice.
