Great Film overall
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreI found this serie just now. Started to watch and could not stop. I looked at all parts within 24 hours. It was great, fun and exiting. I very seldom really like series nowadays, seen to many. In my opinion the did nor give this serie the chans it deserve. It could have become much bigger in time. Just look at the reviews and the grades it got, and the popularity is growing although the serie has stopped in 2016. It was a HUGHE mistake to not continue with it. I'm really, really, really disappointed! Please start doing it again, I want to see a season 2!
... View MoreBoring, predictable, unreal on so many levels... But important thing is, its politically correct, so I guess it's ok for TV...
... View MoreHayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell) is the scandal-plagued former First Daughter. New York DA and former flame Conner Wallace (Eddie Cahill) gets her out of jail in exchange for leading his new Conviction Integrity Unit. The team is given 5 days for each case to investigate and overturn. Team members include paralegal Tess Larson (Emily Kinney) who is trying to atone for her involvement in a wrongful conviction, ambitious ADA Sam Spencer (Shawn Ashmore), skeptical lead investigator Maxine Bohen (Merrin Dungey), and ex-con turned forensics expert Frankie Cruz (Manny Montana). Jackson Morrison is Hayes' brother working on their mother's Senate campaign.This is a procedural with a set formula that the show constructs right from the pilot. There is nothing organic about the construction. The premise is laid out in the first ten minutes and the show tries to power through it with the sassy Hayley Atwell. I continue to hope that she finds a home somewhere but I doubt it's here. Maybe she's better off making movies. One way to create better construction would have been to follow one member of the team every show. There is a safeness to this show that isn't very winning.
... View MoreWere it not for the excellent cast, I would have rated this series a 5 out of 10. Whose idea was it to cancel the refreshing Agent Carter, and put Hayley Atwell in yet another (unnecessary) crime drama? Conviction is self-satisfied, lazy, and holds no surprises. The cast is lovely and does what it can, but I can't imagine this show being at the top of the list for anyone under the age of 55. It tries too hard to be relevant and doesn't succeed. One has to wonder what the plan is for the show. 2 seasons? 3 seasons? Maybe 4? I'm already exhausted thinking about it.A show like this should be limited to a run as a miniseries. That way, some success may be achieved. But please, please don't make us wince through hours of uninspired story lines. There's so much better on television these days, and this show does not even compete.
