    I also had trouble hearing the dialogue. It got to the point that I turned on the closed captioning and had to read what the actors were saying because the music was so loud.

    This has got to be one of the worst shows I ever seen. The main character is absolutely ridiculous. I really like 2 of actors on this show (Eddie Cahill and Merrin Dunguey) and I wanted to like this show but it's an epic failure. It is too bad, as the premise of reviewing convictions is interesting, as are some of the cases, but the writing is bad and the main character is just not at allThis has got to be one of the worst shows I ever seen.

    Coercion might be the only way to get an audience for this incredibly labored legal drama.

    The plot is ridiculous, the writing is bad and Atwell seems embarrassed to be there.

    Judging from the premiere episode, Conviction is not just compelling and topical, it’s a master class in TV-series construction.
