Another brilliant episode to a brilliant series! Alan and Shirley, however, don't quite cut it for me regarding sexual tension! Spader is brilliant as Alan, as it Bergen with Shirley, and the two have excellent chemistry- but it just doesn't seem to work for me!
That being said, it was brilliant seeing Alan and Denny's reaction, especially the proposed wrestling match! The wrestling match itself was hilarious, and can only be gotten away with on a show like this!
Claire flirting with the creepy therapist was nicely done, as well as Paul scenes with Judge Hooper- I loved how they did that, and when they use Paul they do get a brilliant performance.
Bethany's case was brilliant, especially with her being rattled but delivering the opening she did- it was really well done, and got a chance for Brad to do something useful- that exchange was just brilliant! It was nice seeing her and Denny as well.
The canibal case seemed silly at first, but it was actually quite moving- and Alan's closing was one of the best yet. I really like the DA he went up against, and it really did make me laugh!
Overall, another brilliant episode- after a weak premiere, the Season really is going strong. Cracking stuff.moreless

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Alan: Admit it, Shirley, you're drawn to me like Eve to the Serpent. Take me home and help me stretch my coil. This a reference to the Biblical story in the book of Genesis about the expulsion from Eden, in which Lucifer, disguised as a serpent, seduces Eve into eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Edit
- Episode Title: Fine Young Cannibal An allusion to the 80's pop band Fine Young Cannibals, which in turn is named after the 1960 movie All The Fine Young Cannibals. Edit
