Pilot is incredible, and the first 6 seasons are really good.

It has more comedy elements than normal legal dramas, but I actually preferred it to Good Wife and similar.

Everything about her was perfect. The ever present cigarette hanging from her fingers, the leopard print, the just-slightly-heightened wig, the just-slightly-exaggerated accent, the pure vinegar of her tone about everything... Just magic.

O'Grady became a domestic household name in his later years, but it’s hard to capture now just how bold a figure he was back in the day. The Lily Savage persona owed a little to Panto, sure, but she was a very distinctly and uniquely British drag character, and as strange as it is to think I genuinely think she was good for LGBT representation in media. Your dad might think it's weird to see a guy in a dress, but he can't deny how funny some incredibly brutal joke about some public figure or other was.

Savage is credited with starting at least one riot and would have eaten most modern Queens for tea, incidentally.
