Kudos to Fox for attempting something this ambitious and, more often than not, riveting and even heartbreaking at times. [30 Jan - 12 Feb 2023, p.8]
-
Accused offers well-cast, engrossing mini-mysteries with twists viewers (mostly) won't see coming. In the Dark Ages of broadcast TV, that qualifies as a glimmer of light.
-
Over the first five episodes that were presented to critics for review, the show largely lives up to its billing as a promising freshman series, telling a diverse array of stories that illustrate the blurring divide between guilt and innocence in today’s world.

Nothing is clear-cut, but the methodology of the storytelling—a kind of multiple cliff-hanger strategy—is close to irresistible. ... “Accused” may be out to provoke, but it scores more hits than misses. And its sins of indulgence are ultimately well-intended.

[The “Accused” premiere] made me want to see Chiklis in a series again, maybe playing against his tough-guy type. Future episodes deliver diminishing returns.
