lillalejon I found this serie just now. Started to watch and could not stop. I looked at all parts within 24 hours. It was great, fun and exiting. I very seldom really like series nowadays, seen to many. In my opinion the did nor give this serie the chans it deserve. It could have become much bigger in time. Just look at the reviews and the grades it got, and the popularity is growing although the serie has stopped in 2016. It was a HUGHE mistake to not continue with it. I'm really, really, really disappointed! Please start doing it again, I want to see a season 2!

akeembob Hayley Atwell was delightful as Agent Carter. Here she is thoroughly unlikable. Her character is a good time/bad girl former first child in the public spotlight. She takes a noble job for ignoble reasons and proceeds to live down to her reputation. The two ladies who produced/wrote this obviously have a political agenda to sell and it destroys any semblance of coherent plots and cripples the dialogue. Badly written and poorly acted, this series was doomed from the start. Do not waste your time.

drchevalier I started watching the series because I think that Hayley Atwell has talent and she has done some very solid work. She is doing a good job playing an unlikeable character, not particularly a good route for series longevity. Sadly the writing is weak, the plots weak, the characters flat and the whole thing both boring and rushed. It is very much the hurry up and run in circles until the aha moment, only ever discovered by the protagonist. The sequencing lacks continuity, is jumbled and is not believable.I get it that a goal is to show a strong woman in a leadership role. Atwell could certainly make that happen, if she had a character to play that wasn't such a polished turd. Sadly the show is shot and lit to highlight her wardrobe and her shoes as much as it is the plot. The inter scene switch with the overlaid scenes is both jittery and headache inducing. Sometimes a show is recoverable. Too much would have to change to save Conviction. Hopefully Ms. Atwell's next series will offer her the opportunity to show how good she can be.

Elewis1195 Hayley Atwell is fun. She plays the tough, but still has a heart, charming, not perfect but likable, leading lady quite well. The show is an interesting attempt at something slightly new, but only slightly.Haley's Mom is a senator and Dad is a former president now incarcerated (The Clinton comparison is impossible to miss). The show is all about the dynamics of the team, so much so that there's very little time left for investigation even though it's one of those law and order, investigate the case kind of things, the investigation aspect of the show is quite weak, with basically one, two minute "re-imagine the crime" and a few interviews, but it's basically handed to the audience with little suspense or mystery.Shawn Ashmore, who's usually very good, plays her conflicted #1 man and he's part self serving politician, part good guy, but it's not clear which side he's fully aligned with.Merrin Dungey plays a former cop with a strong sense of morals.Emily Kinney, the wide eyed youngster who almost believes everyone is innocent, in part because of her past of identifying the wrong person and putting them in jail.and Manny Montana plays a former convict who's part of the team (I forget why), but mostly just so they could have 5 people who are enormously different from each other.Add to that a loving brother, a tense and controlling senator for a mother, a cocaine conviction that was undone, and the implication that Haley is smarter than everyone, with just enough of a self-destructive streak that she still manages to get herself and others in trouble and a politician, who, for some reason, thinks that Hayley's team reviewing convictions will help him get elected someplace in the future.Basically it's a big hot mess where, you don't get the feeling that any of these people are friends, it's all about individuals with their own sense of morality and stuff not always working out, but there's enough personality on the screen that she show kind of works, at least, for now. It's hard to imagine anyone caring much of Hayley faces jail time or if she gets her politician who hired her kicked out of office, just because nobody really feels like they're in this together, it's all about "look how smart Hayley is".Still it's not the worst show on television. 4 shows in, it's watchable so far.
