    I can't stop this feeling

    Ally McBeal joins a prestigous law firm which is full of wierd and wonderful characters. The crux of the series is about her searching for romantic love from a females point of view and dealing with her many neuroses. I am reviewing from memory and I am not sure how well it would hold up today, but at the time I om really enjoyed her quirky antics.
