In Contempt

Smart, sexy, interesting and love love love Erica Ash. She plays my favorite character of all time in Surcicor's Guilt and she's bringing it just as strong for Gwen Sullivan.

When I saw that this show was from the producers of Law & Order I was intrigued, avid admirer of all the L&W shows. Then I watched it and thought this can'tt possibly be right because I was thinking Dick Wolf, and Co would never back this.. The concept is good but the execution of said concept is not. It's over the top drama that's trying to be something it's not.

There wasn't anything that makes you want to watch the next episode and to say it's a gritty urban version of L&W is highly misleading. It seems rushed and not very well researched.

For now you'd be better off watching reruns of the real L&W or old episodes of The Practice. Lot of work to do on this one, but if cleaned up with better writing, more polished acting it could work.

"In Contempt" is a most excellent program, however for the hearing impaired it has no self contained scripted closed captioning which leaves the voice to text caption not making any sense towards the scenes and script. "In Contempt" needs to include scripted closed captioning that comes up and matches the exact conversation, because you know how badly voice to text works.

Took a few episodes to find its groove, but now its really good.

I rarely watch shows live, but have taken to keeping Tue @ 10pm free to catch this.

Great cast, good story lines. Looking forward to there being a Season 2.

From a legal background perspective, it's clear that they didn't do adequate research on simple issues like witness examination. The acting is really poor. I would never recommend this as a legal show to watch.
