Critics' reviews

"This show uses its lead character's profound self awareness to explore the realities of every day life -- work and love, mostly -- with humor and poignancy."

Steve Johnson: Chicago Tribune
"It was pretty imaginative for its time (...) Now we're accustomed to fantasy sequences, song interludes, viral videos... But back then, these flourishes still seemed relatively fresh on TV."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"'Ally McBeal' displays his signature qualities: human-scale characters, respect for the audience's intelligence and a healthy cynicism"

Caryn James: The New York Times
"You can still appreciate the show for what it was doing and how much it captured the zeitgeist of the time"

Liz Kocan: Decider
"Ally McBeal is still a surprisingly good show, particularly in its first and second seasons."

Margaret Lyons: Vulture
"With the assonance of its name matched only by the asininity of the rest of it, Ally McBeal exudes a kind of obscene fluffiness"

Irish Times
"'Ally McBeal' has a spark of hope in her that you just can't turn your back on... How can one not root for someone like that, annoying flaws aside?"

Allan Johnson: Chicago Tribune
