>>603 Oh hell yeah the Best Actor Emmy belongs to Vance. I too binged on after watching TNM and it was hard to turn off. I'm currently rewatching TNM (I'm on Ep. 6) and except for Episode 3 (which I lovingly refer to as Tom Hollander's forgotten Emmy reel) the show was too hit or miss scene-wise to match TPvOJS.

>>612 TNM felt like a triumph of style over substance. Great titles (also got nominated!), beautiful locations, quality cast - but the script wasn't that good. And on second watching TH wasn't that good either. I was fooled by the endless appearances of the Hiddlesbum!

I have sad before I think that TPVOJS was the best evocation I have ever seen of what it is like to be a trial lawyer in a big trial. There were so many times I thought, that is exactly what it is like. I think people who don't know the world still feel that authenticity and respond to it. I strongly doubt that TNM represents the experience of MI6 operatives, or anything like it. Plus of course TPVOJS made a story to which we all know the end utterly gripping. The last episode, I swear I thought he was going to get convicted.
