"Doubt" review by

Airs Wednesdays on CBS
I wanted to watch this show because I love legal shows.
This one has a great cast, headed by Katherine Heigl as
Sadie Ellis, the star lawyer at a law firm known for
taking high profile or difficult cases. Elliot Gould
stars as her boss and mentor, Isaiah Roth. The rest of
the cast is great as well, especially Dulé Hill as
Albert and Laverne Cox as Albert. The show is very
fast-paced and could slow down just a tiny bit to
introduce the characters and their problems to us, as
well as focus on the cases they feature each week.
I like the fact that the show is funny and quirky while
taking on serious cases. I also like the fact that it
shows that lawyers have personal lives as well as their
work lives. If you like serious procedural lawyer
shows, you won't like this show. If you were a fan
of shows like "Drop Dead Diva," this is the perfect show
for you to watch. I enjoyed it and will watch it again,
hoping it will slow down a little, and strike more of a
balance between the characters personal lives and their
work lives.
I give this show 4 out of 5 stars.
MORE INFORMATION DOUBT
stars Katherine Heigl as Sadie Ellis, a brilliant attorney
at a boutique firm who starts to fall for her charismatic
client, Billy Brennan, an altruistic pediatric surgeon
recently accused of murdering his girlfriend 24 years ago.
Sadie is hiding her growing feelings from everyone,
including her close friend and colleague, Albert Cobb, who
thinks he knows everything about her. Working on other cases
at the practice is Cameron Wirth, a transgender Ivy League
graduate who fights passionately for her clients since she’s
experienced injustice first hand; Tiffany Simon, a
second-year associate who is quickly learning the ropes from
Wirth; and Nick, a former felon who earned his degree while
serving time. They all consider it a privilege to work for
Isaiah Roth, a revered legal lion and “lefty” legend, whose
approval is their holy grail. Sadie’s decision to become
involved with her client could put her career, as well as
her happiness, at risk if Billy is found guilty, which means
she needs to work all the harder to prove reasonable doubt,
even if she has some herself.
