    I'd like to see this show get a chance to stick around. I like it a lot, but think it could be even better!

    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.

    A perfectly wonderful new series on ABC. Jason O'Mara shines as Charles Conti, and the chemistry between Mr. O'Mara and the other actors is truly remarkable. Five stars to the creators and keep up the good work!

    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.

    This is my favorite new show! As an activist that has worked for years on the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal and other innocent people on death row and/or locked in America's prison system, these stories ring very true.

The show brings to light the many ways that any citizen can find himself wrongfully accused. It is a very important and brave show as the average American citizen has no idea how easily he could end up in one of these scenarios. Bravo to the producers and ABC for making a show that actually says something!… Expand

    This is a great show. I was a huge fan of The Agency and am thrilled to see Jason O'Mara on weekly again. This show has it all, great stories. It kind of reminds me of Law and Order in the way the show is set up but with a twist, getting the innocent out of jail. Finally something worth watching on Friday nights.

    I love this show, I read Actual Innocence and have studied the Innocence Project and this follows the stories very well. Good job, very entertaining.

    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.

    Really dredafu;. Full of every cliche. Evil cops, corrupt prosecutors, gorgeous interns and all the criminals are innocent. Doesn't even make sence. One client is doing 15 to life and would be eligible for parole bit for some reason is in 23-hour lockdown

    The worst attempt at crime/social import drama to date, and I was prepared to embrace the show with all the advanced hype. Oh well...

    Surprisingly good for "just" another court show. Interesting casting. Looks fresh! Look forward to it.

    I think there is great potential here and hope the show gets the time and attention to realize that potential.

    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.

    The regular characters are generic, and the plots are filled with holes. But as a mindless TV distraction bent on reminding us that the justice system is not perfect, ''In Justice" will do.

    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.
