June 22, 2014Drop Dead Diva / Final episode date
After a brief cancellation a year ago, Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva was resurrected with a fifth-season pickup and in September received a 13-episode Season 6 renewal. Now the network has announced that the upcoming sixth season will be the series' last.
As the show is about a wife of a state attorney who goes back in to law when her husband is caught in the middle of a sex scandal, The Good Wife is massively influenced by real life events such as the scandal involving Bill Clinton.
9 Your Honor - 7.7. With two iconic television shows under his belt, Bry an Cranston leapt back in to the medium, as he plays a judge whose son kills a teenager in a hit-and-run. Your Honor is special because it’s one of the few law dramas that is serialized, where others tend to be procedural case-of-the-week type shows.
SVU has run for a long time, as there are close to 500 episodes in the series, and it’s amazing the show has managed to remain consistent after all this time. And with the franchise getting another spin off, there are a lot of things it could borrow from Special Victims Unit.
Law & Order has several spin-off shows, Breaking Bad received a legal drama spin-off in the form of Better Call Saul, and of course, the great Boston Legal is a spin-off of The Practice. It’s one of the rare times in which a spin-off is better than the original.
The Practice was much more realistic and it actually treated its viewers as if they were smart. And when it came to legal proceedings, deep themes were explored; including personal morality, which was a great approach considering criminal lawyers had never really been depicted in such a light before.
It barely comes as any surprise that Better Call Saul is the highest rated legal drama of them all. Being a descendent of Breaking Bad and taking place before the events of that show, Better Call Saul expands on the criminal underbelly of Albuquerque in ways that weren’t even imaginable. From going in to greater detail about Madrigal to showing how Gustavo Fring built his meth empire, it goes in to great depth about organized crime in the city.
Douglas Brackman Jr. is the manager they seem to end up with. TRIVIA: Norman Chaney, a firm name partner, is found dead of a heart attack in the very first episode and is never actually seen on camera.
Full of pratfalls and seriously good intentions, the show managed to humanize the one place where most people meet up with the law. TRIVIA: John Larroquette (prosecutor Dan Fielding) narrated the original version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
They usually involved some of the most divisive issues of the time (abortion, un-American activities, censorship, race). The show was based on a two-part drama called The Defender, which had featured veteran actor Ralph Bellamy and a young William Shatner.
Suits is an American legal drama television series filmed in Toronto, Canada, created and written by Aaron Korsh. The series premiered on June 23, 2011, on the cable network USA, and is produced by Universal Cable. Suits is set at a fictional law firm in New York City. The focal point of the show follows talented college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who initially works as a law associate for Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), despite never actually having attended law school. The show focuses on Harvey and Mike managing to close cases while maintaining Mike’s secret.
Bobby Donnell was a handsome, driven defense attorney who surrounded himself at the self-named firm of Robert Donnell & Associates with talented lawyers who lacked the pedigree necessary to cut it in BigLaw. They made up the difference with street smarts and sheer tenacity.
Sebastian Stark (James Woods) was a heavy-duty criminal defense lawyer with a reputation for sleazy tactics and ridiculous success. After he helps free one too many bad guys, he’s recruited to take his tactics to the district attorney’s office, where he heads a special team that prosecutes hard-to-win cases.
This first spin-off of L&O is more police procedural than lawyer-driven drama, but was still a favorite of our judges. The sex-crime plotting is explained in the opening narration, and the serialization is keyed to the show’s two principals—Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).
fixer who frequently represented high profile politicians and athletes like Monica Lewinsky and Kobe Bryant. The show revolves around Olivia Pope, and her job is to help these high profile people when they are involved in a scandal.
He is a witty and sleazy lawyer with a weird sense of humor. A prequel to the Breaking Bad series, Saul Goodman mostly represents the bad guys, and helps them navigate the tricky lines of law and order. 2. Daredevil. Daredevil takes a darker tone than Marvel movies and even other Marvel Netflix series.
It all depends on the theme and how it was carried out. Several good shows didn't make the list because they are currently not available on Netflix. For now, enjoy the ones that are.
Especially, overseas in the France and Australia. Part of the success can be attributed to JAG, another popular lawyer show and of which, NCIS is a spin-off.
TRIVIA: The show’s producers refused to cancel or amend the first episode, which featured a controversial medical assertion that mercury used in childhood vaccinations was a major cause of autism. Give us feedback, share a story tip or update, or report an error.

Hyena - The story follows two extremely talented lawyers from very different backgrounds. Jung Geum Ja is a third rate lawyer whose priority is to make money, no matter the means. Yoon Hee Jae is the ace lawyer of a top lawfirm, disliked by his peers for his arrogant, cold manner. When a potential case causes Geum Ja to take interest in Hee Jae, their paths cross, turning Hee Jae's life upside down and creating what is honestly some of the best on screen chemistry I've ever seen. Investigations, court room battles, great OSTs, bickering, team bonding, humor, SIZZLING chemistry, high class intrigue, this drama has it all. - u/foxxi_paradoxxi
So she starts her job as lawyer Kwon Jung Rok (Lee Dong Wook) 's secretary. Kwon Jung Rok is a really famous and successful lawyer and he doesn't watch drama or else and he doesn't want Yoon Seo at all.
Diary of a Prosecutor - For work related drama set in a prosecutor's office, this is the one for you. Follows the day to day life of a group of prosecutor's in a backwater location. A great drama to watch when you're done with all those plot twists and backstabbing and unrealistic scenarios. - u/BarefootWanderer
Touch your heart is a cute and wholesome light hearted drama about a former actress that becomes a lawyer’s secretary for 3 months to prepare for a drama that she really wants to star in. The male lead (the lawyer) is a very calm and preserved man. The two leads have a good and steady relationship “progression”.
While You Were Sleeping - Nam Hong-joo (Bae Suzy) is a reporter who can see things gonna happen in future in her dreams. One day her dreams bring her to Jung Jae-chang (Lee Jong Suk) who is a prosecutor and later a police officer named Han Wook-tak (Jung Hae In).
Yoon Kye-sang, the ML is also a scene stealer. In fact acting-skill-wise this is one of the best dramas undoubtedly. It's an adaptation of the US Good Wife, yet the distinctive korean elements are there, making it unique in its own way.
