This program is amazing! The characters are full of depth and humor and pathos. The stories are true slices of life; full of the incredible complexities of real human experience. I love that the stories are not neat little packages to be tied up at the end of the episode. The dialog rings true every time. While there is sorrow and angst in the character's lives, the wry humor in this series is intelligent and very enjoyable.
I only wish there were more seasons available and even more I wish CBC in its infinite wisdom had not cancelled it.

I'm not a fan of lawyer shows, but this is a show about human beings, some of whom are lawyers, some of whom are judges, some of whom are accused and all of whom are changed by the experience. Funny and heart breaking and educational about what it's like to live underneath the headlines.

As I write this, this set is almost out of print. I say almost, because while most Canadian retailers don't have it available any longer, the CBC's own shop site does have it, and for $40 Cdn., new.
That sure beats paying $90ish US...
