Legal High has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. The 2-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 96 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Masato Sakai leads a cast with real comic timing. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Legal High is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Legal High does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A lawyer with a big personality works with an straightlaced recent law graduate on various law cases in Japan. Masato Sakai and Yui Aragaki lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Across 2 seasons (2012–2013), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Legal High holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Legal High respects your intelligence. If you have already watched Franklin & Bash, Legal High is a natural next step. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Masato Sakai's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Legal High wrapped up in 2013, created by Hideki Inada and Junichi Ishikawa — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
