Review of Boston Public

Boston Public (2000–2006)
Altman-esque
11 June 2001
"Boston Public" is one of the best Shows on T.V. right now. "Public" has excellent writing, acting and a great cast. David E. Kelley is certainly the best writer in T.V. and it shows here as on his other shows, "The Practice" and "Ally McBeal". When it comes to the cast Sharon Leal is great as "Ms. Sudor". She is alone worth watching the show. "Boston Public" is an ensemble drama though so it would be unfair not to mention, Chi McBride as the principal, Loretta Devine as "Marla Hendricks", Fyvush Finkel, Jessalyn Gilsig, Anthony Heald and others. Debbi Morgan is great when she shows up as "Superintendent Marsha Shinn." "Boston Public" reminds me a lot of the great director Robert Altman's movies "The Player" and "Nashville." "Boston Public" has a lot of characters leading, supporting and secondary and always multiple story lines, four or five per episode, most Dramas have only two or three. Overall "Boston Public" is great T.V. and worth watching.
