Feb 19, 2019Great idea with the most disappointing execution. The dialogue is SO mediocre and everything feels very convenient. Nothing smart about it. You can watch this while folding your clothes, and if that's the case why watch it at all? Fox and producers really did a bad job developing this great idea.

Artificial and obvious, long on expository dialogue but somehow short on information, little in it feels convincing.

Proven Innocent looks to be a middling, mildly involving and sensationalistic crime anthology, with self-contained, single-episode plots about seeking justice for the wrongfully accused and the wrongfully convicted, along with an ongoing mystery about a murder more than a decade earlier. The tabloid-friendly, relatively complex old case is more compelling than the all-too-conveniently-resolved one-off plots.

Each Proven Innocent episode has a one-off case of injustice to handle and in the two episodes I've watched, both procedural cases are handled without any notable ingenuity. That's paired with the incrementally inching case of who actually killed Madeline and Levi's friend, a mystery that is interjected with some style by pilot director Patricia Riggen, though it lacks for sufficient intrigue to be parsed out in this way.
