Sounded Interesting but unfortunately looks like a sitcom

Jason O'Mara and Kyle McLachlan are two good actors and the premise sounds interesting. Unfortunately, the show looks like a sitcom.

Was it shot on video? It sure looked like it.

In any case, that and the sitcom-style 5-second main title and what I read on this site which made it sound like the music was a pretext for the promotion of young artists and they lost me quickly.

It looks like it's doing badly in the ratings, which is not surprising.

It won't be a big loss and hopefully everyone will forget that McLachlan and O'Mara were even involved in it and they will get bigger and better opportunities elsewhere.

A Crime Drama For Us Bleeding Hearts!

Here's a well done crime drama that focuses not on the primary victims of crime but on the secondary victims, those wrongly convicted. Jason O'Mara's emotionally driven investigative personality is what drives the show but Kyle MacLachlan's gonzo rich lawyer headline seeking eccentric character makes the show work. There are only two actors who could do this part and spin an entire show, Kyle MacLachlan and Oliver Platt. Either one is perfect casting. Not only do we get a tightly focused message here, we get a tightly focused message that's also very entertaining. The stories are easy to wrap your head around because they all begin with the ultimate underdog, someone who's situation appears hopeless. Who can't root for an underdog? IN JUSTICE is not just another crime drama, it's a crime drama with a heart, a message, and a sense of truth.

Entertaining Show

This is an enjoyable show that raises some interesting questions not typically considered by primetime TV.

It has been well established that the legal system often convicts innocent people. This show dramatizes the complexity of how that happens. We might even get some ideas about how to make things better! Insights are good things....

There are definite comedic points in the interplay of the ex-cop team leader and the politico head of the project, the team leader and the women.

At times, the forensic examinations reveal really interesting tidbits that are very clever.

It is fun to watch this show, and given some more time, the characterizations will get better. Good stuff to be aware of.

Enjoy!

Bring back "In Justice"

I came across this show by chance in the beginning of 2006 and was totally enthralled by its premise. I looked forward each week to seeing a new episode. I also told all of my family and friends to tune in. They did and they loved it also. When I went to watch it one week, all of a sudden it wasn't listed anymore. I was extremely disappointed. I assumed it wouldn't start a new season until this September. Never hearing about it for months, anywhere, I decided to find out what was going on and came to this site. I read that it had been canceled. I couldn't believe it. We need more shows like this one, that teach people to care and to stand up for injustices that go on every day in this world. Good values to instill through uplifting behavior by good, giving and dedicated human beings. Please, somehow, let us try to bring it back.

Great Series

I have seen all the episodes since Feb 17th, and I thought this series was great. This is not a stereotypical series that promotes and idealizes the justice system. Although our justice system was created with the best of intentions, there is room for error, just like everything else. Nothing is perfect and this series shows those imperfections that can happen within our justice system. It makes the public think. I also liked the fact that not every episode has a happily ever after, that just because someone is innocent, they go free. That is real life. Sometimes innocent people go to jail. Anyway, this series showed what the jury believed and then try to disprove it because they believe the person in prison is innocent. Although the acting wasn't always the greatest, I thought the premise was excellent.
