Steineded How sad is this?
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
hakajmarko Boring, predictable, unreal on so many levels... But important thing is, its politically correct, so I guess it's ok for TV...
Capital_Vice I loved it from the first episode, its fast paced, witty and has some of the best character casts I have ever seen! The chemistry between Atwell and Cahill is amazing, the dialogues are refreshing and the CSI part of the show is very interesting, not the typical forensic Nasa talk we usually see, its described in a way that non-scientists (like me)can understand.Its been a long time since I have been this riveted by a show, there are so many to choose from and perhaps because of the variety, actual gems get buried under shows that do not even deserve a pilot. I only hope that its given a chance to go to Season 2 because I'm pretty sure it will be as amazing as Season 1!!Well done to the Cast and Crew.
SnoopyStyle Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell) is the scandal-plagued former First Daughter. New York DA and former flame Conner Wallace (Eddie Cahill) gets her out of jail in exchange for leading his new Conviction Integrity Unit. The team is given 5 days for each case to investigate and overturn. Team members include paralegal Tess Larson (Emily Kinney) who is trying to atone for her involvement in a wrongful conviction, ambitious ADA Sam Spencer (Shawn Ashmore), skeptical lead investigator Maxine Bohen (Merrin Dungey), and ex-con turned forensics expert Frankie Cruz (Manny Montana). Jackson Morrison is Hayes' brother working on their mother's Senate campaign.This is a procedural with a set formula that the show constructs right from the pilot. There is nothing organic about the construction. The premise is laid out in the first ten minutes and the show tries to power through it with the sassy Hayley Atwell. I continue to hope that she finds a home somewhere but I doubt it's here. Maybe she's better off making movies. One way to create better construction would have been to follow one member of the team every show. There is a safeness to this show that isn't very winning.
nick-machnik-foster It is interesting to see what some reviewers on here have actually been watching because it most definitely isn't Conviction. The main character of the show is supposed to be a spoilt little rich girl jaded by the experience of being the First Daughter and in a seemingly constant rebellion against her family and society in general, a part that Hayley Atwell plays amazingly, and the cast in general is very sound and yes maybe clichéd in their roles but very good none the less. The actual premise is a brilliant idea a department that investigates the integrity of cases to insure they are are correct, and staffed with flawed characters to if needs be the whole project can be disowned. Get past the premiere and you will find an engaging and really good programme that shouldn't be cancelled because some people just don't get it.
