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.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Eric Taylor This is one of the best Aussie legal shows I have seen in years. The episode story-lines are clever and the underlying personal stories enjoyable. It is intelligent viewing, not flooded with violence and sex. Just what the mature viewer wants to see. The characters are interesting, because they are different, but not totally ridiculous. The saddest fact about this show is that there are only 8 episodes in the (first) series. I look forward to many more series in the future - 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.
Rachel Lynch This show might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoy watching it every week.Written by the women who did 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries', 'Newton's Law' is a charming, quirky show with plenty of heart. All the characters are well-meaning, the underdogs always win, any mistakes our heroes make are forgiven, and everything wraps up perfectly in the last 15 minutes. Sure, it's not the most realistic (or best written, if I'm honest) show on TV, but it's a whole lot of fun, and refreshingly angst-free. Not to mention, it manages to slip in a surprising number of important messages about gender equality, multiculturalism, and even gender dysphoria.Like I said, it's not for everyone. But I've got a soft spot for indulgent, fluffy, light entertainment; and 'Newton's Law' hits the spot.
bfmoore-97836 Probably expected this to be as gritty as Janet King or Crownies.The gorgeous Claudia was the attraction for me but her work in other shows is far stronger and convincing.She certainly had her work cut out in emulating the power,suspense and credibility of these predecessors. I don't know if ditz and law gel at this level, as comedy does in Rake and augustness in John Deed.Maybe now the premise is established it could fire up but at this stage the plots are hackneyed and humor,lame. Gee i wanted this to work as the menu of watchable television continues to dwindle to a set two course offering,hopefully another vehicle will come her way.
