None of them liked Ally McBeal and they failed to find the essence of the programme. Certainly on this side of the Pond, the TV critics seemed to have lost the plot - if they had found the plot in the first place.

TV critics are supposed to use their experience and knowledge to map out the salient points of a TV series. The series follows Ally's trials and tribulations in life through her eyes, and caricaturizes her personal thoughts and fantasies. At home, Ally's friend and house-mate Renée regularly advises her on her love life. At the office, Ally puts up with a nosy, gossiping secretary named Elaine, and an oddball lawyer named John Cage never seems to lose a case. This puts Ally in a predicament since she still has feelings for Billy which she's laboring to get over. In the present, an old classmate of Ally's named Richard Fish gives Ally a job at his law firm, where Billy and his new wife are also working.

But when Billy chose to pursue a career in law away from Ally, their relationship came to an end. Ally even followed Billy to Harvard law school despite having no interest in law.
