In 1997, a charming, romantic, strange and passionate lawyer made her debut in a series that would become the emblem of a whole generation: we named “Ally McBeal”, the procedural, the attractive, the eccentric.
Ally McBeal and Billy Thomas lived all their childhood together. Ally even followed Billy at the Harvard law faculty despite his lack of interest in law. But when Billy chose to continue his legal career far from Ally, their relationship ended.
Ally is now a young single lawyer in search of love and fulfillment. However, when her former classmate, Richard Fish, offers her a job in his Boston office, she finds herself working with Billy … and his wife! While she still experiences feelings for him that she struggles to overcome, she must adapt to eccentric patterns and a curious and talkative secretary. At home, Renée, her friend and roommate, regularly advises her on her love life. Faced with this situation, she must deal with her feelings and her overflowing imagination.
23 years ago, we said goodbye to Ally McBeal after five seasons of good and loyal service. But as many years later, this name has not finished seducing us. According to the professional and love tribulations of the brilliant, gentle, adorable and neurotic young holder, with an unforgettable smile, embodied by the brilliant and iconic Calista Flockhart, the series of David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies, anatomy of a scandal) went beyond the pure legal drama, mixing affairs and feelings. It is therefore not surprising that she has registered among the best of all time, among the most simply cult – and that she is one of the 10 judicial series that must have seen in her life too!
Fox
Ally McBeal thus conquered the heart of its audience by being both funny and captivating, wacky and endearing. Holding no less than 7 Emmys and 4 Golden Globes, the series has everything extraordinary: from its improbable situations to its soundtrack, without forgetting its crazy twists and its superb casting – with madness guests please!
Staging a brilliant and memorable bunch of colleagues and friends (and more if affinities), the show brought together emblematic actors of CALISTA FLOCKARTGreg Germann, Peter Macnicol, Gil Bellows, Jane Krakowski, Lisa Nicole Carson, passing by Portia de Rossi, Lucy Liu or Robert Downey Jr., to name a few.

On the program, it is therefore a human and completely barred adventure that awaits you, one of that will make you go from laughter to tears in an instant, and will take you through feelings. To see or review absolutely.
