Ally McBeal

ComedyDramaRomance43 min per episode

A young lawyer takes a job at the quirky Boston firm Cage and Fish and finds that her cases are often easier to manage than her own love life. Ally McBeal, played by Calista Flockhart, spends her days in court and her nights picking through old relationships, new crushes, and the awkward fact that one of her coworkers is a man from her past. Around her, the office runs on rivalry, gossip, flirtation, and strange professional alliances, so every lawsuit comes tangled with personal drama. As Ally tries to keep her footing, the series follows how work, friendship, and romance keep colliding in ways she can’t neatly argue away.
