The Firm brings to the table an action thriller crime drama that establishes itself as one of the premiere shows on television. Josh Lucas plays the roll of Mitch McDeere, who is a criminal defense lawyer.
Displayed at the beginning we first learn of his involvement in a scheme that goes way beyond just his criminal cases. Those reasons lead him to be assailed by not only the Mob, but crossed and entrapped into his own firm. Rewinding the time table we journey back 6 weeks before to see exactly how all this played out. Thus begins the gripping tale of The Firm full of honesty, and deceit. Justice, crime, love, and violence, the firm incorporates very strong lead acting by Josh Lucas which carries the show beautifully.
A wonderful witty script, and excellent content make this so far an excellent show and one that will most likely draw in quite a large amount of viewers as we are engrossed with how the story unfolds. Plenty of riveting action, strong acting, meaningful content, and highly entertaining. I think The Firm establishes itself as something else besides just another TV show.
Valithanithizum Jan 8, Details Edit. Often many of Alan's behaviors support this claim. Alan states on numerous occasions that he is sure that his final fate will be murder. He voices concern, although only to Denny Crane , that he fears waking up alone as he is sure that, in a previous life, he was murdered in his sleep.
Alan considers Denny to be his best friend, and every night he drinks Scotch and smokes cigars with Denny on his office balcony often reflecting on the events of the day and confessing their most intimate fears and desires while displaying their many oddities and eccentricities, and often confessing their platonic love for one another.
When Denny's Alzheimer's disease worsened, Alan and Denny decided to get married, so that Alan could have Power of Attorney over Denny's medical care, as well as spousal privilege in any future criminal proceedings. This would also allow Denny to transfer his considerable wealth to Alan tax free.
Alan is a brilliant lawyer, extremely intelligent and very well-informed, which aids him immeasurably in his job as a lawyer. With a strong moral core, Alan is nevertheless not above obtaining ethical outcomes through unethical means. Illicit computer hacking, lying, concealing evidence, fraud, blackmail, disguise and bribery are all tools he uses without hesitation. Alan is, however, unwavering in his defense of the underdog unless he is representing the other party.
An indefatigable patron of various left-wing causes and with liberal views, Alan supports pro-choice, gun control, the Democratic Party and ardently opposes the war in Iraq and the death penalty, which on a number of occasions creates sharp political ideology clashes between himself and Denny, who is a staunch pro-war, pro-death penalty, conservative Republican and Bush supporter, but their friendship remains intact despite the political differences.
He constantly voices his disappointment and disillusion with how the country has changed in recent years, and routinely confronts these issues in open court. His usual courtroom strategy involves identifying what he sees as the underlying problems in society that put his clients at odds with the law or another person in the first place, and articulating them to sympathetic juries or judges that frequently grant him and his clients favorable verdicts. Wherever he works, he treats his coworkers with levity and refuses to take himself too seriously.
Alan suffers from night terrors, has a fear of clowns and, in two episodes, suffered from word salad. He has resigned himself to the fact that he will never be made partner at the firm due to his unpredictable behavior and lack of trustworthiness. He is considered an unethical attorney due to the sometimes questionable methods he uses to help his clients; however, Alan seems to be able to help his clients and fellow lawyers when no one else can, due to his quick wit and apparent lack of fear for the consequences of his illegal actions.
He once had an unlicensed doctor remove a bullet from one of Lori Colson's clients after the client refused to have it extracted in a hospital due to the fact it might convict him; Alan helped him out because the bullet might have had a life-threatening impact on the man. Like Denny , he is a womanizer, with an insatiable sexual appetite. Alan has had relationships with Sally Heep and Tara Wilson , the latter having had a major effect on his psyche.
It is hinted that he and Denny suffer from satyriasis. His sexual harassment of Nora Jacobs , his former secretary which mainly included him giving her a score on a scale of 1 to 5 with regard to what kind of sweater she was wearing , drew a rebuke from Shirley Schmidt.
Alan's ex-girlfriend once tried to run him over, and he later served as her lawyer to get her out of the mental hospital she was in as a result. When Alan represented Joanna in a custody suit involving her ten year old daughter, she suggested that the sexist part of him is actually becoming Alan Shore, and that he is losing the ability to connect with a woman in a non-sexual way, an observation that unnerved Alan. Alan has also shown to be vulnerable to a few women during his life, though he always regains his composure.
When Lorraine was first introduced, he suffered from word salad and felt intimidated by her, almost compromising his ability to represent Shirley in a case. This again became evident when another old flame, Pheobe Prentice , came up against Alan in a case which Alan was suing a big tobacco company, which Phoebe was representing. Alan also has some strange quirks. For reasons that have nothing to do with money, he does not have a home; he lives alone in a hotel room and has alluded to a feeling of comfort from knowing that he can check out at any time.
He suffers regularly from dangerous sleepwalking associated with night terrors, has an almost paralyzing fear of clowns, and twice spoke in word salad, which was caused by anxiety. Alan is attracted to mature, older women, although he routinely sleeps with younger women as well. He also gains arousal from being measured for pants, and has claimed to have a foot fetish. He has admitted only to Denny of his sexual encounter with a neighbor woman at the age of fourteen, where he lost his virginity.
Alan points to this as why he has trouble with women, claiming he is "missing a love gene. Alan was once charged with inciting a riot after he and Tara pretended to try and pick each other up at a college fraternity bar. Episode 2 53m. Episode 3 55m. Episode 4 55m. Episode 5 54m.
