Shark Audience Reviews 4d2l48

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Ivana Iva I enjoy the show. Sebastian Stark (James Woods) goes from defending the bad guys to prosecuting them. And he goes with style. Yes, there are better & worse episodes, but every episode so far has been watchable, enjoyable and funny. The "little helpers" from his office might appear to be too good looking for their job but once Woods is on the scene there are all forgotten. Also, Jeri Ryan, who plays Stark's boss, for some reason shows her thin waist in every episode (at least so far). This does not really go with the position she should have but I guess it was a desire of the people who created the show. In addition, she walks like on a catwalk and it looks rather comical. Also, it was probably thought that the show will be more interesting if Shark and his team do not only take on law but also do the police work. Like in Law & Order there are at first the cops who investigate crimes and then there are the lawyers; the creators of Shark decided that Stark will do everything. That's where the show is not entirely believable. With that said I have to add that I don't mind too much, I just sit and watch :)
akulier-1 This really is a great show, fast-paced, witty dialogue, and James Woods does what he does best. That really IS his role. But, forgive me folks, but what's with this American obsession with youth? Why did he get so much - and so bad - plastic surgery, and robably botox on top? He is a great actor, but you just can't see it because he looks just like a zombie. What's wrong with having a few wrinkles a guy his age? Would actually add to his credibility. This appearance certainly doesn't.Other than that, this show really is about what makes the US so appealing to the rest of the world. Cool guys, hot babes and a lot of high class entertainment. If only the real world could be as cool as this. But has anyone noticed that, while a few years back, it used to be cool to be in the defense side, nowadays the "heroes" are on the side of the law. The times are-a changing - back.
jmorris-8 James Woods is a master at his craft. Any actor who can take a cliché ridden "TOUGH GUY LAWYER" SERIES and make it --not only fascinating but, current in its vibe each and every week is a master at their trade. Woods carries the weight of this series on his considerable shoulders and seems to have that uncanny ability that you only see in a very few actors, to raise the "game" of some of the younger actors on the set as well as some of the journeymen actors who appear in guest starring roles on a week to week basis.The thing that differentiates SHARK from other Lawyer series we have seen.... From Raymond Burr's 301 episodes of Perry Mason, to present day shows such as L.A.Law and Law and Order, we have seen just about every possible story line under the sun......... I mean---- come on, is there anything else to explore here??? But, James Woods explores the proverbial DARKSIDE of the Legal business. From switching sides of the aisle, transforming from a high price advocate for drug dealers, murderers and other assorted low life's in LA County, to a RULES adverse Special District Attorney, Woods shows some of the antics that occur behind the scenes in the screwed up legal system. These shows need to show the personal lives of the people involved to keep the viewer interested. Shark does not let us down in this respect. Instead of showing some fairytale life of the rich and famous of L.A.. Woods is a Divorced, single parent of a teenager, played surprisingly well by Danielle Pannabaker. The give and take between Woods and Pannabaker is an excellent sub-plot for the series and the writers of the series give Pannabaker several key story lines in the first season. Pannabaker handles these roles like a seasoned professional. She had to raise her game to fit in with Woods.All in all, Shark is wildly entertaining. You know it is a good series when you find yourself eagerly awaiting the next installment ---- or is that the next "SHARK ATTACK????
taneli113 If you are familiar with Wood's work as an actor you already know why you have to watch a show with him thriving.If you are not,just watch one episode and you'll be absolutely hooked.I'm talking about top notch performances in each and every one.Woods delivers his lines in the astounding way he has as used to.His great acting will have you at the edge of your seat begging for more.I mean,the man is like a well oiled machine:everything from his facial expressions to the last word coming out of his mouth,spreads out the wide canvas of his acting skills for our delightment in an absolutely thrilling way.On top of that,'Shark' is excellently written,fast paced and with more than one twists in each episode that will leave you with your mouth open.Even the less enjoyable and interesting episodes (due to the plot-let's face it,when you have 22 episodes with a different case in each one,these are bound to exist) are elevated by the brilliance of Wood's acting,as we watch him waging battle after battle against his opposition of lawyers,criminals and the occasional serial killer/arch nemesis.Don't miss the chance to enjoy one of the most fascinating actors at his best!
