Poster for Ally McBeal
Such a fascinating show! Despite being so committed to not being politically correct, it's always full of surprises and ends up being more layered than expected. Often ridiculous, perplexing on so many levels, clearly reactionary, surprisingly tender, and very very very frustrating—it is a product of its time and fully aware of it. Love Ally and her inner world, adore Renee and John Cage, obsessed with Georgia and Elaine, despise Billy with every fibre of my being (there has never been a blander character). I started quoting "I don't have my mental health" weekly. (I forgot exactly when I finished S1, so logging a relatively close date.)
