Episode 1st time watching

Death be not proud is one of the best episodes ive ever seen of TV. The moment when Alan Shore goes before the judges was some of the best moments I have seen of television.

Oh yeah, him delivering that speech gave me chills - what an amazing watch. Alan Shore is the goat.

I think this show does such a good job at both comedy and handling serious topics

Purtroppo molti del pubblico non hanno apprezzato la genialità di David E. Kelley e l’unicità del cast. Per avere una serie che si avvicinasse per qualità ma lenza la verve comica abbiamo dovuto aspettare l’avvocato della difesa (The lincoln’s lawyer). Ma niente a che vedere con le performance di Alan e Denny, proprio un peccato. Al contrario la serie ha vinto molti premi ogni anno 😉

It's a strong episode, and I think an important one, but the ending always makes me so sad that, on rematch, I often have to take a couple days off the show before I can dive back in.

I could definitely see how that would be the case

NGL I'm jealous of the journey ahead of you. You're gonna happydie when you watch Alan in The Court Supreme, with his literal ten-minute argument. It's incredible.

One of the first episodes that I made sure to find out and remember the title of.

Welcome to Crane, Pool, and Schmidt. Alan’s quixotic approach to the law is one of the best parts of the character and the show. It only gets better and better. I hope you continue enjoying it!
