    Technically engaging, but the standard of femininity seems to be written by men against womens liberation who portray women as boy crazy 7th graders (the log line accurately calls it vapid) whose self worth is tied to designer clothes and makeup. Hey guys, you screen writers, grown women are not that vapid, nor are we supposed to be. That is an (infantile) male fantasy. The opposite, namely women without the vapid cuteness are written as mean (Janes peer) or hopeless losers (the judge) who dont adhere to this male fantasy model of girly silliness. Womens equality is Put Down by the writers in the 5th episode, where Jane is depicted as estranged from her father and family because She Became Aware of Injustice Towards Women in the past. Wow. Blaming the victim. Acknowledging injustice against women doesnt break up families unless there is some sort of associated abuse, then it could. This is a mucked-up narrative about women written by male chauvinists to try to cutesy-fi (subjugate) strong women.

    Someone recommended this series to me and I thought I would watch one episode and dump it, as the premise was cute. Cute is not typically very captivating for me. I was very surprised to see that there is true depth to the characters and their situations. They actually examine difficult life quandaries and dont shirk exploring ethical dilemmas. Like all good ensemble casts, the series gets better and better.

For Jane Bingham, life really is more wonderful the second time around in this wild second season of the breakthrough comedic drama hit. Just when she’s ready to move on from her former existence as a shallow wannabe model and accept her sudden reincarnation as a plus-size, brilliant attorney, Jane gets thrown a whole new set of curves, including a hottie love interest, the shocking arrival of her “secret” husband, the discovery of a half-sister and a career-threatening courtroom showdown. Once again, Jane must chart a bold, new future for herself. Among the guest stars: Paula Abdul, Chad Lowe, Vivica A. Fox, David Denman, Devon Gummersal, Robin Givens, Cybill Shepherd and Natasha Henstridge.

Brooke Elliott is one of the most engaging TV series heroines in ages--dazzling and compulsively watchable. In the second season of Drop Dead Diva, Elliott hits her stride as Jane, a plus-size attorney with a razor-sharp mind. The twist? Jane is actually the reincarnation of the vapid Deb, a shallow supermodel who was technically dead--as was the real Jane--when Deb"s soul slipped into Jane"s body and was revived. So Drop Dead Diva examines the adjustments and personal life of the formerly gorgeous Deb adjusting to life as Jane, as well as showcases plots for a believable and engaging legal procedural. In the second season, Jane is enjoying the fact that people take her seriously, and that she in fact has a brilliant legal mind. But it"s complicated. Season two sees the return of a husband Jane hadn"t realized she had (Ethan, played by the slightly off-putting Devon Gummersall), and a new love interest who really loves Jane for who she is. But the brilliance of Drop Dead Diva is that Jane is still both Jane and Deb, and spends a lot of her non-courtroom time trying to piece everything together, with the help of her best friend, Kim (Kate Levering), and a sometime guardian angel (Fred, played by Ben Feldman). The rest of the supporting cast is delightful, especially Margaret Cho as Jane"s loyal and sometimes a little too proactive assistant, Teri. Cameos in the second season include the return of Paula Abdul--as a judge, of course--as well as Vivica A. Fox, Robin Givens, Natasha Henstridge, and Cybill Shepherd. But it"s Elliott who makes all the magic happen, both in the courtroom and in her own extremely complicated, second-chance life. Her talent at conveying mixed emotions in a single look is amazing.

The complete second season boxed set is packed with extras, including three behind-the-scenes featurettes. One breaks down the choreography and work that went into the musical dream sequence in the season opener, with Brooke singing "Would I Lie to You?" to Judge Paula Abdul, with a chorus of the entire cast as well as perky patrons of a food court. There are some great deleted scenes, and, oddly, a trailer of highlights for season two. Once you"ve watched the full season, the viewer will realize that all of season two is a highlight. --A.T.
