Newton's Law

My husband & I both enjoyed watching this series. We weren't really sure about it at first but we kept watching and it seemed to just get better & better with each episode. With new shows, I think it takes a little time for the characters to bond & develop their roles & how they relate to each other. This show accomplished that & was really coming into its own, just in time it to be cancelled, apparently. I can't find anything about why. We are very disappointed.

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!

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!

I loved series 1. Hope there will be a second series. Thank you for great Australian legal humor Well done!

This show might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoy watching it every week.

Written by the women who did 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries', 'Newton's Law' is a charming, quirky show with plenty of heart. All the characters are well-meaning, the underdogs always win, any mistakes our heroes make are forgiven, and everything wraps up perfectly in the last 15 minutes. Sure, it's not the most realistic (or best written, if I'm honest) show on TV, but it's a whole lot of fun, and refreshingly angst-free. Not to mention, it manages to slip in a surprising number of important messages about gender equality, multiculturalism, and even gender dysphoria.

Like I said, it's not for everyone. But I've got a soft spot for indulgent, fluffy, light entertainment; and 'Newton's Law' hits the spot.
