Doubt

The first 2 episodes were so long ago I forgot what it was about but, I remember thinking it was an absurd show trying to infuse too many elements from other popular shows and, of course, historical events. I didn't think I'd keep following it. I watched the return and was pleasantly surprised. It's watchable now. Still, at a 7, just barely but if it continues to improve it could become something. Maybe too late. I think I saw it may have already been canceled. Much better now though, in it's second incarnation, than the original 4 I might have given it. The cast is mostly alright, but I've never really cared for Elliot Gould's acting. He seems like a really nice guy but, a one-trick pony... doddering, clueless, yet always with that omniscient grin... you're right E, there must be something you know that I don't.

Addendum: The way I rate shows... I don't usually review anything less than a 7 because 6 would be a failing grade and I won't waste my time watching it. I'm old; I don't know how much time I've got left. Since I probably turned it off before getting even halfway through, it wouldn't be fair to rate or review it. 7 is watchable but I may go a while between episodes since, though somewhat entertaining, there are other shows more interesting or compelling. 8 would be a regular in my lineup. 9 is a must see and probably bingeable. 10 is just the epitome of superbity and headed for my all-time favorites list. I'm adding this to my reviews because it seems there are a lot of binary reactions to pretty much everything these days. I am not a like/unlike kind of guy. I see a lot of grays so if I give something a 10 it doesn't mean the only alternative is a 1.

Honestly I found this show an easy watch the characters were easy to relate to and sometimes I think that's what you need after a long day at work. I don't understand the negativity I found it enjoyable not to much violence and gore could watch with my teens :). And love the fact they brought a transgender person into the show if any thing that gave us a bit of diversity.

It's a shame this show was canceled. It's also a shame I did not discover this until after I finished watching the last episode. I see a lot of people didn't like the first few episodes. I think the chemistry on the show definitely improved as it went on. And let me say the cliffhangers they left us with at the end of episode 13 were stunning. I would really like to see where this goes. It did get a little over the top, though.

This funny and, yes, very quirky legal lightweight drama was a pleasure. So much better than so much we see today. A feel good series with fun and tongue in cheek humor and yet some very decent messages and moments. The characters are likable and fun and don't have to take themselves so seriously in order to be a pleasure to watch and fun to experience. Focus on the transgender community right now is so important and a light should be shown on its acceptance and should be targeted. I will miss this funny and pleasurable escape. A real shame.

Those who panned just don't understand. Doubt is a fantastic mix of production and direction, the acting adequate and almost lost in the artistry. Katherine Heigel, the big name star is probably the weakest performer and is still adequate. This series is so cleverly done it can be a comedy, black comedy, light hearted courtroom drama; whatever the viewer is in the mood for at the time. Costly production with masterful edits - a shame to cancel but those who panned just don't understand.
