Deposing Boston Legal
December 2nd, 2008 | Derek Johnson
Last night marked the penultimate airing of ABC’s Boston Legal. Before its finale next week, I thought I’d offer some thoughts about the end of a series that has proved so compelling yet also incredibly frustrating to me over the past five years. Though I’ve never missed an episode (see my earlier comments about commitment viewing), the formulaic repetitiveness of the last three seasons long ago led me to believe that Boston Legal had run out of creative terrain to explore–”outrageous” and “shocking” (to quote Henry Gibson’s Judge Brown), but content to be predictably so. In moving towards a definitive end, however (ABC made it clear at the beginning of the season it would not go beyond its initial 13-episode order), this final season has shown growth, giving me a picture of what Boston Legal could have been all along.
