	Author	Review
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"'Ally McBeal' displays his signature qualities: human-scale characters, respect for the audience's intelligence and a healthy cynicism"	POS
United States	Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune	"This show uses its lead character's profound self awareness to explore the realities of every day life -- work and love, mostly -- with humor and poignancy."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"It was pretty imaginative for its time (...) Now we're accustomed to fantasy sequences, song interludes, viral videos... But back then, these flourishes still seemed relatively fresh on TV."	POS
United States	Margaret Lyons Vulture	"Ally McBeal is still a surprisingly good show, particularly in its first and second seasons."	POS
