swatjester-1 Tries for the wit and speed of Boston Legal and fails. While another commentator tries to say "this is what real prosecutors do", he obviously has no clue. Real trial work, especially criminal, is slow, tedious, and boring. 90% of cases don't go to trial, and the ones that do never look anything like TV.It's not a bad show, but it's not as good as Boston Legal, not by far. The acting is OK, the camera work is mediocre, and the writing is average. Ho hum. Another average court show. If I wanted to watch that I'd watch one of the dozens of law and order knockoffs. There's no real catch to this show.
abdou_shah Is the best court-series i've seen ... worth to mention i was never a fan of any kind of clearing a crime such as csi .... till i saw shark, nice work in writing, directing and story telling still though it needs a lil bit of "24" theme -i think - as for the actors ,james woods still the best. the others are good really .. but i hate to say it ...they all look too damn good . almost too pretty to be lawyers!!! i know they have to attract audience but a lil bit of reality wouldn't hurt!!! for example : Jeri Ryan who plays "Jessica Devlin" she's talented ...and so on but according to her she's suppose to be a bit older !!! i don't wanna say it was a miss-casting but ..... this show has what the other Hollywood shows has : every body is good looking sexy and they all happen to be our stars !!! i like this show ....but its not perfect ...... i wish they did something else here but i guess man can't have it all ;-)
glennsouthall Shark is a classy, although formulaic investigative/courtroom drama series joining a host of similar efforts coming out of the States, such as CSI, Boston Legal, Law and Order and so on. The premise is nice....former top defence lawyer turned champion of the people for self-redemption...and the performances, scripts, production etc is of the high standard one would expect in this well proved line. But what sets it apart and propels it to a different level is James Woods. Better casting for the part of the sharp, supremely confident and wise-cracking ("Don't shoot, this is a new suit")lawyer is impossible to imagine. In fact it is because he is so good that I rate the series as a 9 and not a 10. How does that work? Well, without Wood's brilliance the few scenes in which he does not appear seem unduly flat and tame by comparison. Unfair, I know, but Woods is that good.Sadly, the series is a one trick pony (crime-suspect-twist-shark prevails) which means it can't run forever, so get it while you can and immerse yourself in witnessing a true master of his craft revelling in a vehicle tailor made for his talents.
Julia This is the sort of thing i've been waiting to see for a long time..Recently crime and/or drama series have started to become repetitive. They seem to have lost some of their edge. 'Shark' was obviously made to blow out the cobwebs.. very refreshing..!James Woods is excellent as 'Shark'.. very believable as the 'dad'.. It will be interesting to see how he balances that with his work.. However i hope the series WON'T be concentrating too much on that..I like the way the story progresses towards a huge ending.. you know its going to be exciting..! The courtroom scenes are really believable, very intense..Extremely gripping stuff.. About time too..
