The Verdict
The Practice is a late-'90s legal drama built around moral ambiguity and courtroom ethics, not identity messaging. Its diverse ensemble fits a modern Boston setting, and while it engages social and legal debates, it does so through casework rather than lecturing. Essentially clean on the woke axes.
