TV show description:
Boston trial attorney Ally McBeal (Calista Flockhart) is a very smart and confident litigator who is quite neurotic in her personal life — particularly when it comes to her inability to maintain a relationship.
Fresh out of Harvard, Ally is offered a job at the new firm of her longtime friend Richard Fish (Greg Germann). Unfortunately, her old boyfriend Billy Alan Thomas (Gil Bellows), for whom she still has feelings, and his new wife Georgia (Courtney Thorne-Smith) also work there.
Other quirky characters include Ally’s busybody assistant Elaine Vassall (Jane Krakowski); Ally’s sensible roommate, deputy District Attorney Renee Raddick (Lisa Nicole Carson); strange but brilliant lawyer John “The Biscuit” Cage (Peter MacNicol); politically-incorrect attorney Ling Woo (Lucy Liu); and handsome and dynamic lawyer Larry Paul (Robert Downey, Jr.).
From the mind of David E. Kelley, this series deftly mixes drama and quirky comedy, features strange court cases, and tackles a number of topical subjects.
