sunali It's light, fun, quirky, witty as anything and the acting/direction is superb, the script is smart, and there is so much subtlety and fun. I particularly love the chemistry in the various almost-matches - it's just delicious! I was so disappointed to find that my new addiction was scuttled after 8 episodes. More please!

Pete Love it. One of three TV shows worth my time each week. As John Grisham has written "courtrooms are where the drama is". I like the light comic touches - for me TV drama is escapism. I like the twists in the tales - kudos to the script writers! Oh and, of course, I'm enchanted by Claudia Karvan's character, Josephine.

Harry Harison Characters are caricatures, which is probably suppose to be funny, but it isn't. Newton's Law fails as both comedy and a drama (non-existent anyway). Script is two-bit clichés thrown together. There are so many law shows, to stand out you have to come up with something innovative (or excel on old and improved), this show has none of it.Save your valuable time for something worthwhile, this isn't it.4/10, and I'm being generous.

adam-703-808689 To be honest, I only watched 15 minutes of Episode One, but I was astounded by the number of levels on which this comedy-drama drove itself into a ditch and stayed there, writhing with wrongness. Scripting, characterisation, casting, direction, costume design, production design, art-direction, photography, colour, acting... all are a series of horrible mistakes wrought by people who seem to have no idea of drama. Really! It's like being a passenger in a car which heads the wrong way from the start of the journey; doesn't even try to find the right way, and keeps driving up dead-end streets, and doing u-turns in the hope that merciless quirkiness will amuse. I'm sure a lot of people worked very hard to make this, so please forgive my damnation, but...wow! Perhaps the drama suddenly found its way after the 15 minutes for which I viewed it, but it was not an auspicious quarter of an hour. It did occur to me that Newton's Law is a strategic move in the alleged plan for Michelle Guthrie to destroy the ABC.
