I've long been a fan of Boston Legal, a socially aware courtroom com-drama that wears its characters' politics on its pinstriped sleeves.
Spader and Shatner are brilliant in this weekly series and the writing seldom disappoints.
In this, the season opener for season 5 (and also to be the show'...
Wow.
What a "summer finale".
We move, along with Michael, Fi and Sam, closer than ever to Carla and her band and are reeled-in to the web of intrigue. Carla is deeply shadowed and mysterious and Michael is a consummate pro at unwinding the web.

Basically, as the series works to find its 'groove', we get more color on just how screwed up Mary's family really is.
Brandi attempts a drug deal ...
Michael's in a bad way, as Carla's new boy trumps his every move...forcing him into a heist.
Along the way, he has time to help out a friend who's getting framed by a squirly hip-hop mogul's manager.
Great action, as usual. Good story. Always good to see Gabriel Anwar.
