I can't imagine there being a single person able to tell how many TV shows about lawyers have been made. It seems there is always a few of them on at any given moment. Some focus more on the courtroom, while others tell more personal stories of the lawyers. Most of them fall somewhere in the middle, combining court proceedings with private lives of the characters. Doubt is one of this series and, sadly, it is simply yet another legal drama. My main issue with the series is that it is the same as any other mediocre show about lawyers. We see the same old boring cases and even when the show touches upon important issues such as racism, police violence or transphobia, it is done in the exact same way we've already seen on a million other shows. The main story arc might have been interesting if it wasn't totally predictible right down to the last plot twist in the show finale.To make things worse, virtually all characters seem one-dimensional, like they have one characteristic that defines them. Sadie is brilliant, Nick is a reformed ex-con, Tiffany is full of energy, Billy is charming, Isaiah is anti-establishment, etc. It's really hard to find one fully fleshed out, complicated - and therefore believable - character. The fact that all the lawyers talk in wisecracks pretty much all the time makes them seem even more similar to one another and quickly becomes insufferable. All in all, I'm not surprised that Doubt was cancelled so soon after its premiere. It's not the worst tv show ever, but it's just too bland and too similar to other legal dramas to be interesting. It just doesn't offer anything we haven't seen a thousand times already and at times it can be really annoying with the constant wisecracks and a good measure of overacting.
... View MoreLove this show so please renew it, at least we want to know what happens next! The acting is good and there are many interesting characters who no doubt will develop further if you give them a chance. There are so few good legal dramas with such promise. So please please consider another season at least. Thanks
... View MoreIt's a shame this show was canceled. It's also a shame I did not discover this until after I finished watching the last episode. I see a lot of people didn't like the first few episodes. I think the chemistry on the show definitely improved as it went on. And let me say the cliffhangers they left us with at the end of episode 13 were stunning. I would really like to see where this goes. It did get a little over the top, though.
... View MoreHonestly I found this show an easy watch the characters were easy to relate to and sometimes I think that's what you need after a long day at work. I don't understand the negativity I found it enjoyable not to much violence and gore could watch with my teens :). And love the fact they brought a transgender person into the show if any thing that gave us a bit of diversity.
