Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Downey's "Ally" portrayal of lawyer Larry Paul is one of the high points of current television. He takes the romantic byplay David E. Kelly has written for Larry and Calista Flockhart's Ally and runs with it. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Austin Smith New York Post That's what's so confounding about Robert Downey Jr. This guy seems like the world's biggest screw-up, and yet he's been turning in some of the most winning performances seen on TV all season. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Steve Vineberg New York Times Mr. Downey's astonishing work on ''Ally McBeal'' may be as good as anything anyone has done on a television series Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Justin Strout Orlando Weekly Creator David E. Kelley's slapstick musical paean to the modern working woman reached a pinnacle of excellence in its fourth season... a study in how to push your series' lead to her breaking point without ringing a single false note. Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Oh, it's still over-the-top and tacky... But "Ally" is offbeat and loony again instead of just plain stupid and tawdry. And Downey deserves a great deal of credit for the show's revival. Mar 13, 2019 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun Downey is a real actor who is selling the character rather than playing for a sitcom punch line. His presence gives the hour a dramatic ballast it desperately lacked. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
