It’s about time somebody gave the wonderful James Woods a role as good as this. Shark casts him as an attorney who’s happy to go about things by whatever methods get him the necessary results. Whether it involves bending the rules or cutting corners, when we meet Sebastian Stark he’s a defence attorney par excellence.

But it soon changes for him, and he ends up taking a job on the other side of the fence instead. And as he changes allegiances to become a prosecutor instead, he leads a rough and ready team on the track to getting justice. Thus begins Shark, another in a line of quality American legal imports that are worthy of your time.

This DVD set brings together the entire first season run of Shark, and there’s plenty to enjoy. Woods may have changed sides in the show, but his methods are as unconventional as ever (think House, but in the legal system, and you’re on the right track). As a result, the show is fast, funny, and terrific entertainment.

And let’s make no bones about this: as commendable as Shark’s supporting cast is, it’s Woods we’re here to see, and he doesn’t disappoint. He positively eats up the screen, and it’s an absolute delight to see an actor as strong as him at the very top of his game.

Tightly scripted, swiftly directed and rarely dull, Shark is a treat that’s well worth taking for a spin. Highly recommended. --Jon Foster
