Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the courthouse.

Shark Aired From September 21, 2006 – May 20, 2008 On CBS.



Plot:

Shark is a drama that follows the professional and personal life of Sebastian Stark, a charismatic, supremely self-confident and cutthroat prosecutor who chose to leave his long-beloved career as an ace defense attorney after a disturbing outcome in one of his cases resulted in a personal epiphany.

Though Sebastian is seeking to redeem himself, he has no intention of changing his underhanded approach to winning cases just because he's now working for the other side of the law. Having weathered a challenging but successful first year as head of the Los Angeles District Attorney's High Profile Crime Unit, Sebastian has had the added good fortune of persuading the ambitious, accomplished and recently displaced former DA, Jessica Devlin, to revisit her glory days as a trial attorney by becoming a senior member of his team.

The junior lawyers on Sebastian's team, who are beginning to use some of Sebastian's infamous brass-knuckle tactics themselves, include the smart, tough and passionate Raina Troy, the shrewd and high-powered Madeleine Poe, and the newest member, Danny Reyes, whose edgy and aggressive style challenges Sebastian at every turn. The team also relies heavily on their resourceful investigator, Isaac Wright, a former LAPD detective. In addition to striving to be a good father to his 17-year-old daughter, Julie Stark, and enjoying his status as one of LA's most eligible bachelors, this legal shark is intent on proving that he can play, and win, for the "good guys."
