Watched the first two episodes of LA Law this past weekend and liked them. Did remember more than I would have thought from years ago.

If I can get my wife more interested we will continue to watch. Wonder if we would like to see Hill Street again.

Boston Legal started off in outstanding fashion but toward the end got very weird and to us unwatchable.

Suits was an outstanding series

Suits also went downhill rapidly when Patrick Adams left the show. MM was ancillary anyway, IMO.

But it's hard to run any series more than about 4 seasons before it starts getting stupid as the writers run out of material and start to jump the shark.

Having said that, the OP didn't ask about any of the shows subsequent posters mentioned. I"m not sure why people can't answer any given OP without straying off-topic. So to the OP: Both LA Law and HS Blues were excellent and are both worth your time, but if I had to pick just one, HSB is better IMO, but it is also older, so expect some time warp.

For better or worse people try and be helpful with other suggestions. I for one are happy they do so as many suggestions have merit

Between those two choices, Hill Street Blues.

Bonus: The original Hawaii Five-0 (1968-1980).

Hill Street Blues. BOTH are good. LA Law is more dated than HSB - but it filled me with nostalgia (styles, trends, slang).

I am watching Blue Bloods with the hope I finish by the series finale.

I loved both, they are very different..... Hill Street is gritty, LA Law is fun. Another great series is St. Elsewhere.
