Expanded roles for Bowen and Valley are just two of this season's welcome improvements; along with Bergen and Auberjonois, they add engaging counterbalance to the Spader/Shatner juggernaut, while newcomers Justin Mentell and Ryan Michelle Bathe (as legal assistants) add youthful appeal in roles that necessarily remained marginal for most of the season. As always, series creator David E. Kelley (aided by a new writing staff) maintains a constant flow of outrageous behavior (most of it Denny's) and compelling courtroom trials based on hot-button issues including assisted suicide, the war in Iraq, private school discrimination, medical malpractice, tax evasion and a variety of other cases in which belligerent judges (played by Henry Gibson, Anthony Heald, Howard Hesseman, Shelley Berman, and others) play antagonistic foils to Alan Shore's impassioned defense. (It's here where Spader excels; Shore may be a lascivious lothario, but you offend his moral conscience at your peril.) A stellar array of guest stars, impeccable editing and cinematography, and glossy office production design make Boston Legal a constant feast for the eyes and ears, with breezy emphasis on the farcical goings-on at Crane, Poole & Schmidt. (The series' writing and production values are explored in brief but enjoyable bonus featurettes included on the final DVD in this seven-disc set.)
With Denny and Alan's season-ending visit to Los Angeles (where they defend a sexy celebrity played by Star Trek: Voyager's Jeri Ryan), it's delightfully obvious that Shatner and Spader are the heart and soul of Boston Legal, which is ultimately about the mutual affection of two men whose viewpoints are often as polarized as their friendship is compassionately co-dependent. Bolstered by clever allusions to Shatner's Star Trek legacy and throwaway references to their own status as characters in a TV show (as Kelley and his writers deliberately demolish the "fourth wall" of TV for comedic effect), Spader and Shatner quickly turned their episode-closing balcony scenes into an honorable tradition, where differences dissolve in the taste of fine scotch and slowly-savored cigars. They're bringing us the finest "dramedy" that primetime network television has to offer, and we'll gladly follow them as their crazy lives continue. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Boston Legal - Season 2
Defective Disc 7 1 star for the disc but 5 stars for the program. Disc 7 is defective. Amazon replaced my original order but the replacement had the same issue. Disc 7 pixilates the image. Am returning both box sets and ordered from Barnes and Noble. $3.00 higher and I had a $30.00 coupon to use on the Amazon order....but what options are there. Hopefully the Disc 7 problem is Amazon stock only.
Defective Disc 7 ?
...based on technical disc difficulties.

>Ironically, there appears to be an issue with Disc 7...containing the last three episodes and the Special Features. A number of customers who have made it to the last disc find the episodes filled with pixel noise. The screen menus work fine but the actual episodes won't play properly. Replacement sets from Amazon exhibit the same trouble, so it's a manufacturing problem.

The best for a very long time.
Season 1 has only just finished here in the UK and I must say this is the best series to cross the pond for an age. It has just about everything and is enjoyable from opening scene to final credit.

>The chemistry between cast members fair drips from the screen. James Spader and William Shatner are superb in their respective characters and display a rare interpersonal banter that is exceptionally funny yet poignant and profound.
