OK, so it's not the best thing I've ever seen but it has real charm and wit. The leads are excellent and the stories and dialogue have just enough quirkiness to lift it out of run-of-the-mill.I am not normally a fan of UK shows being remade but I do feel that this would work well redone for an American audience - maybe we Brits just don't do angels too well - too cynical - and Americans would buy into the premise a bit more.I'd love to see it get a 2nd series, so long as it takes the characters somewhere and doesn't simply degenerate into the 'case-of-the-week' that just happens to contain angels!

I liked that it seems not too clever or complicated. I really like courtroom dramas and it's interesting to have angelic beings acting as lawyers. Reminded me a bit of that lovely old film with David Niven,- A matter of life and death. In Eternal Law the acting is wonderful, if it wasn't they would never have been able to pull this off at all. Because, I sit there all tense, even when the wings are out, until it's all over and I know that clock isn't ticking anymore. The cast are brilliant - isn't Sam West the best actor we have, what a voice:) I love the dry wit that his character has. I love that he is tortured with lustful feelings for Hannah. While I am 'rooting' (sorry) for him to give her one - partly I must admit to see if his ejac would really knock her head off.- I do understand that the struggle he has with these feelings are really what it's all about. The fall. If that old angel hadn't fallen for one of us. We would all still be dancing around with fig leaves on having fun in the garden of Eden. Mr Mountjoy is just so bureaucratic, but isn't that just so true of everything in our world. Our whole existence balances on the tip of his ball point pen. I really loved the latest episode. It was so touching. I love that Zac and Tom are caught in the middle as innocent tools of Mr Mountjoy. I like it that Mr Mountjoy has no compassion and would switch us off at the drop of a hat just because the paperwork was building up and anyway we irritate him. He made a mistake when he made us and he knows it. After all he made us in his own image. The imagery of the Great war hit home to me. After all wasn't that just a bureaucratic exercise devoid of any compassion towards flesh. I hope there will be further series in the future. I love the light and dark. The defence and love towards those who seem wrong and guilty and bad. If it isn't continued I hope the ending is that we all go out in a blaze of glory as Zak has his wicked way with Hannah, blows her head off and shoots his cream so hard and high that it blows a hole in the ceiling, arcs a rainbow, rips the sky into two and hits old Mr Mountjoy right in the eye.

Have watched a few episodes now and think the series is great. People are always saying we do not have any new ideas for dramas and then when one comes along they are over critical, judging by some of the reviews.Even the opening titles are enjoyable. Being a critic does not mean you only have to criticise. Just sit back and enjoy a great series cleverly written with a fantastic cast and excellent acting. The stories about the Court Cases are interesting and involved and the back story about the Lawers is intriguing. To explain the concept to someone who has not seen an episode it may appear bizarre and I watched the first episode just to try it out but I was very pleasantly surprised and it is quickly becoming my favourite series.

Okay so I watched the first one of these because I thought with this cast it deserved a look. Was a bit strange and not you traditional law drama but thought I'd watch it again this week (second episode) and I think it's actually quite good. Sure there will be people for whom the concept doesn't fit but I think if you can get you head around it and accept it it's actually a good drama, none the least because of the acting, all the main cast are good and Sam West is superb, that and the random but cool songs they seem to like playing in the end credits for me means it deserves a lot more than the 4.8 its currently rated at on here! If your open minded and like a your drama well-acted give it a try.
