Critic Reviews

    It's just a younger and hotter and stupider and drunker "Law & Order" office.
  2. When it comes to both character and story, there's really not much in "Conviction" viewers haven't seen before.
  3. It's not a terrible show; if you don't have anything else to watch, well, it won't kill you.
  4. 30
    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.

    Astoundingly boring and uninspired. [3 Mar 2006, p.91]
  6. Neither the characters nor the cases in "Conviction" generate much of anything. Not drama, not comedy, and certainly not viewer loyalty.
  7. 25
    Despite the obvious, desperate attempts to inject youth appeal, Conviction is as tired as it is undistinguished.

    A far cry from Boston Legal or even The Practice, this is so clumsy in its mix of the procedural and the personal that it should barely be legal.
