Synopsis

With her low-flying solicitor's practice incinerated by a disgruntled client, her marriage collapsing and motherhood fast losing its charm, Josephine Newton's old uni friend and not-so secret admirer, Lewis Hughes, persuades her to resume her briefly glorious career at the Bar. As she rises to the challenge, though, trading the benefits of her brilliant mind for a berth in the lofty glamour of Knox Chambers, Josephine realises it's not so easy to leave her entourage behind.

Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Euan Mitchell Newton's Law brilliantly balances dramatic and comedic story-lines in a highly entertaining series. I enjoyed Claudia Karvan's lead character (Josephine Newton) as much as Richard Roxburgh's legendary character Rake, even though they are very different types of barristers.The main dramatic thread in each episode handles current or unusual legal issues in an original and engaging way. The supporting story-lines provide comedy, charm and clever plot developments that seamlessly complement each court case. The sexual tension between Claudia Karvan and Toby Schmitz (Lewis Hughes) plays out with continual twists and allure across the first season. More please!!!
gregrose-96395 Great story lines, great characters and incredibly interesting to see a legal show actually follow legal processes. No more of the fake "I OBJECT" shows, this show empowers women as the main character is showing she isn't just there for looks. Could do without the Husband story line but other than that, it is a really good show. It is no Janet King, but ABC seem to have found the formula for a show that works.
sunali 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!
Pete Love it. One of three TV shows worth my time each week. As John Grisham has written "courtrooms are where the drama is". I like the light comic touches - for me TV drama is escapism. I like the twists in the tales - kudos to the script writers! Oh and, of course, I'm enchanted by Claudia Karvan's character, Josephine.
