Trivia:
Shark was in jeopardy of getting canceled before it even started, but James Woods gave the legal drama new life once he signed on to star in the pilot. Woods has spent most of his career focusing on feature films, not television. He said about the decision though he had nothing against TV as most people assumed, as he had done TV movies. There were simply no characters he was willing to commit to full time until the part of Sebastian Stark came along. The creator was looking for somebody like him to play the part anyway more
Quotes:
Raina Troy: I got something on the Abbot case.
Sebastian Stark: That's like bringing the jaws of life to a graveyard.
Raina Troy: I've been going through the tributes to Steve Abbott online.
[reading transcript]
Raina Troy: 'I'm devastated by the loss of a good friend. Steve's suicide is a terrible tragedy.' That was written by Rick Karras.
Danny Reyes: So, he misses his buddy. What's the big deal?
Raina Troy: Try this. This was posted a day BEFORE Steve Abbott's death was publically ruled as suicide.
Sebastian Stark: At the time of the posting, everybody thought that Steve Abbot was murdered.
Jessica Devlin: There's no way Karras could have known Kelly moved the gun 'til a full day later.
Raina Troy: Unless he discovered the body before she showed up.

Let James Woods be James Woods!, 29 September 2006
8/10
Author: ancatdoh from United States

I've seen the first two episodes, and within the confines of a one hour network TV lawyer drama, Shark is very good, and for James Woods fans, lots of great James Woods moments. Dialogue sounds like it was written for him, and we get that great Woods sarcasm and slashing style.

I had long since abandoned network TV, but this one had a pretty good premise and James Woods is perfectly cast.

Some great chemistry with all these egos (DA, LAPD brass, defense lawyers), and the daughter adds some depth and a human side his character tries hard to hide.

Sure, there's overlap with his character in the McMartin Pre-School movie, but still worth putting down the remote for an hour on Thursday nights.

A must see for James Woods fans, and this show could earn him some new ones.
