Hulu Retains L.A. Law — But There’s a (Technical) Twist
L.A. Law fans, Hulu is making a strong case for your patronage.
Hulu has announced that all eight seasons of the ’80s courtroom classic will be available to stream on the service beginning Nov. 3 — and there will be a notable asterisk attached: All 172 episodes have been newly remastered in HD with 16:9 aspect ratio from the original film source. (Translation: The elevator shaft that swallowed Rosalind Shays never looked better.)
Also of note, per Hulu: All original commercial licensed music was kept intact and upgraded.
L.A. Law‘s back catalogue will continue to be available on Prime Video, although those episodes retain the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
