This show is really good! It's really funny and interesting. The two main guys make the show what it is. It has a lot of sexual innuendos but is nothing overly graphic, most violence, if there is any, is not too bad but is quite brutal (but still funny) and is usually not shown. A man get his fingers accidently cut off (not entirely shown and a cat grabs them, one man gets shot in the knee at point-blank, but no blood etc.

About Boston Legal
Parents need to know that this quirky legal drama is laden with sexual innuendoes and references to drugs and alcohol. The inappropriate suggestions and dialogue also contributes to presenting an unrealistic depiction of the workplace.
