A very dark psychological legal drama/thriller about ambition, moral corruption, idealism and loyalty, all stirred in a very complex but gratifying stew. Seasons one and three of this show in particular are absolutely stellar, and season two is also quite great. Seasons four and five, after moving networks from FX to DirecTV, are unfortunately rather weaker and less polished. Though even then, the show is still quite good, not to mention with memorable performances from an amazing list of excellent guest starts (John Hannah, John Goodman, Dylan Baker and Jenna Elfman, to name a tiny few).
