Eric Taylor This is one of the best Aussie legal shows I have seen in years. The episode story-lines are clever and the underlying personal stories enjoyable. It is intelligent viewing, not flooded with violence and sex. Just what the mature viewer wants to see. The characters are interesting, because they are different, but not totally ridiculous. The saddest fact about this show is that there are only 8 episodes in the (first) series. I look forward to many more series in the future - please!

Euan Mitchell Newton's Law brilliantly balances dramatic and comedic story-lines in a highly entertaining series. I enjoyed Claudia Karvan's lead character (Josephine Newton) as much as Richard Roxburgh's legendary character Rake, even though they are very different types of barristers.The main dramatic thread in each episode handles current or unusual legal issues in an original and engaging way. The supporting story-lines provide comedy, charm and clever plot developments that seamlessly complement each court case. The sexual tension between Claudia Karvan and Toby Schmitz (Lewis Hughes) plays out with continual twists and allure across the first season. More please!!!

sunali It's light, fun, quirky, witty as anything and the acting/direction is superb, the script is smart, and there is so much subtlety and fun. I particularly love the chemistry in the various almost-matches - it's just delicious! I was so disappointed to find that my new addiction was scuttled after 8 episodes. More please!

bfmoore-97836 Probably expected this to be as gritty as Janet King or Crownies.The gorgeous Claudia was the attraction for me but her work in other shows is far stronger and convincing.She certainly had her work cut out in emulating the power,suspense and credibility of these predecessors. I don't know if ditz and law gel at this level, as comedy does in Rake and augustness in John Deed.Maybe now the premise is established it could fire up but at this stage the plots are hackneyed and humor,lame. Gee i wanted this to work as the menu of watchable television continues to dwindle to a set two course offering,hopefully another vehicle will come her way.
