"In Contempt" is a most excellent program, however for the hearing impaired it has no self contained scripted closed captioning which leaves the voice to text caption not making any sense towards the scenes and script. "In Contempt" needs to include scripted closed captioning that comes up and matches the exact conversation, because you know how badly voice to text works.

The beautiful Ms. Erica Ash has done it again but with a twist! In Contempt gives an on the ground angle into the life of an attorneys journey from near infancy. The reasons I like the show is because it shows the raw details that may not be shown or is overlooked on other law shows. For instance the anxiety that she has when she is in the thick of a trial displays, the stress an attorney feels and copes with, the vices that are utilized, and the ever breeding competition. This show is to say the least refreshing!

Smart, sexy, interesting and love love love Erica Ash. She plays my favorite character of all time in Surcicor's Guilt and she's bringing it just as strong for Gwen Sullivan.

When I saw that this show was from the producers of Law & Order I was intrigued, avid admirer of all the L&W shows. Then I watched it and thought this can'tt possibly be right because I was thinking Dick Wolf, and Co would never back this.. The concept is good but the execution of said concept is not. It's over the top drama that's trying to be something it's not. There wasn't anything that makes you want to watch the next episode and to say it's a gritty urban version of L&W is highly misleading. It seems rushed and not very well researched. For now you'd be better off watching reruns of the real L&W or old episodes of The Practice. Lot of work to do on this one, but if cleaned up with better writing, more polished acting it could work.
