    I think the show is very watchable. Jason O'Mara is amazing. Why has he not been in more things? I think the show draws the watcher in and has you rooting for the underdog.

    I love this show and hope they bring it back. I think the episodes were always interesting and the cast members are great. For those of us who have to stay home on Friday nights to take care of a family, it was a good hour break and to me a can't miss show.

    My family and I really like In Justice. We like the characters (especially Conti) and the stories. Please tell me it is not being taken off the air. It is one reason we look forward to t.v. on Friday night.

    I really miss this show; I thought it was fantastic. Does anyone remember the episode where an incarcerated woman is set free and she leaves the prison to the song "Hit the Ground Running". I would like to know the real name/singer of that song; it was so moving! Thanks for the help!

    I'm a little surprised they kicked off the series with that storyline. You need to lay that big 'ol hook out there so people will keep watching. Something quirky or unusual about the lead character's life? A particularly compelling way that the group goes about investigating? This show didn't have it. But because Klye Mc is the star, I'll give it another week.

    Maclaughlan tries too hard to be the next Denny Crane (William Shatner; Boston Legal). The show is easy to folloe and tolerable if you are home channel surfing on Friday night.

    We loved this show and it is hard to get GREAT ratings on a new showing airing on the worse night, Friday. I bet if it was on in a better time slot the ratings would have been what the network desired. Obviously, there are a lot of people who did watch it just look at how many of us have searched out this site. BRING IT BACK!

    This was one of the BEST shows on tv. The critics apparently know NOTHING. Why in the WORLD did the network take this show off? There are obviously MANY fans for it. It's a shame to the network that they removed this show. As with some of the other reviewers, I anticipated Friday nights because of this show. Now, Fridays are boring.

    I love this show. The episode this weekend was very touching, Conti's need to make right his mistake from the past. The scenes with his ex-wife. I love Rebecca Pidgeon and hope she'll become a regular. Swain in the jail was just hysterical. A great mix of all emotions while watching. I can't wait until Friday night.

It provides a twisting, intense plot, but always ends with you laughing at the ingenuity of it all. I personally am voting for Jon and Brianna to get together. Also Sonya and Conti. These couples are absolutely perfect. This show is amazing, keep up the fantastic work.

I love the variation of characters and how they work together to get things done in the legal arena. I like also that each character has their strengths and weaknesses and that sometimes they balance each other out to get the objective done. I I love this show also.

    I have really enjoyed the show so far. As an attorney, I have seen outrageous injustice. It goes on regularly, and it involves both prosecution and conviction of the innocent and a failure to prosecute or dismissal of charges leading to freedom for the guilty. Hopefully, this show will wake some people up to what is happening in our "justice" system and bring about needed reforms, such I have really enjoyed the show so far.

It goes on regularly, and it involves both prosecution and conviction of the innocent and a failure to prosecute or dismissal of charges leading to freedom for the guilty. Hopefully, this show will wake some people up to what is happening in our "justice" system and bring about needed reforms, such as, the right to a trial by jury as envisioned by our Founders, open public access to complaints about judges and prosecutors, and access to a grand jury to hear those complaints rather than a group of judges and attorneys.… Expand

    The writers and directors do a sometimes routine, sometimes solid job of making something as atypical as an imprisoned innocent seem believable in the world of fictional network television.

    Though reminiscent of other TV fare, though standard in dialogue, plotting and performances, "In Justice" does boast a touch of originality by examining not only investigators, victims and criminals, but innocent bystanders ensnared in the crime web as well.
