Evil_Herbivore 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.

kysama3-1 I really love this show... I feel it was judged too early. There are shows still airing that are senseless..violent.. too explicit...Yet this one got canceled before it even kicked off!! Just watched the final episode..I believe it had great potential..Bomb of an ending!! But now those of us who really got into it are literally and forever left HANGING I tried to post sad faces in my comments but this site wouldn't let me

michaelrthomson Unlike many reviewers I kinda like Katherine H, sure, she isn't the worlds best actor but she's persistent and tenacious, she can act the part when the material supports her along with good direction.This show just felt like a terrible mashup of ideas, political correctness and attempts to cover too many bases, is it a drama, a comedy, a vehicle for musicians, all of the above.I personally am not a fan of Laverne's acting, I always find her a little bit wooden and false, sure she can deliver a line, but then so could most of us - she might tick the 'diversity' box, but come on people, if the script is meh, and the direction is meh, at least try to get people on-board who can act?Katherine, well, we all know the story here, early success, much acclaim, then a slow but steady decline into C grade movies and TV shows that rarely get past 6 episodes, let alone a season 2. As I said, I don't mind Katherine, she's an OK actor and actually from what I've seen of her off the screen via media and social media, she seems to be a good human being also. It just feels a little bit to me as if she is sabotaged, either by herself or others (i can't decided which) in the choices she makes. As another reviewer has mentioned, perhaps she should try a different genre, maybe she would make a good villain, maybe the masses would appreciate seeing her as some sort of rampaging psycho?Anyways, the show has been canceled after two episodes, which kind of says much about the entire thing, surely the lead actors cannot solely be to blame for that? There is perhaps little value in watching it if you didn't already, I watched the first episode but have simply deleted the second, I figured the writers won't have don't anything amazing with one more episode, and who needs another show that just stops at the point where you may be starting to like it/them?It will be interesting to see what happens next, I'm hoping Leverne just finds something that suits her, because acting really isn't it in my opinion, and Katherine, well she needs a rethink as well.

CSchultz56 I really like a few of the actors in this series, specifically Dule Hill. But even my fandom does not help me with this show. The over acting, the predictability, the stereotypes, the choppiness, the damn music and lastly, most of the characters are just plain bad.I made it thru the halfway point and shut it off for good. I then went in to my CBS All Access account and removed the show from my WatchList. I don't care what they do short of starting with a clean slate, I will not be back....
