Season 1 Review: It's just a younger and hotter and stupider and drunker "Law & Order" office. Read full review

Season 1 Review: When it comes to both character and story, there's really not much in "Conviction" viewers haven't seen before. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland
Season 1 Review: It's not a terrible show; if you don't have anything else to watch, well, it won't kill you. Read full review

Washington PostTom Shales
Season 1 Review: The characters' lives just aren't fascinating, and by reverting to a more traditional way of telling crime stories, Wolf simply reminds us how superior his other version is. Read full review
