Very well executed

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

I can't imagine there being a single person able to tell how many TV shows about lawyers have been made. It seems there is always a few of them on at any given moment. Some focus more on the courtroom, while others tell more personal stories of the lawyers. Most of them fall somewhere in the middle, combining court proceedings with private lives of the characters. Doubt is one of this series and, sadly, it is simply yet another legal drama. My main issue with the series is that it is the same as any other mediocre show about lawyers. We see the same old boring cases and even when the show touches upon important issues such as racism, police violence or transphobia, it is done in the exact same way we've already seen on a million other shows. The main story arc might have been interesting if it wasn't totally predictible right down to the last plot twist in the show finale.To make things worse, virtually all characters seem one-dimensional, like they have one characteristic that defines them. Sadie is brilliant, Nick is a reformed ex-con, Tiffany is full of energy, Billy is charming, Isaiah is anti-establishment, etc. It's really hard to find one fully fleshed out, complicated - and therefore believable - character. The fact that all the lawyers talk in wisecracks pretty much all the time makes them seem even more similar to one another and quickly becomes insufferable. All in all, I'm not surprised that Doubt was cancelled so soon after its premiere. It's not the worst tv show ever, but it's just too bland and too similar to other legal dramas to be interesting. It just doesn't offer anything we haven't seen a thousand times already and at times it can be really annoying with the constant wisecracks and a good measure of overacting.

I'm a fan of legal shows, but this one falls a little short. I definitely appreciate the diversity...it's what drew me to check it out. However, there are others that (I think) are much better written and executed (I.e. Suits). This show lacks the chemistry and not quite as witty as they try to be. But, to each his own. I dvr'd it and finally got around to watching after I, literally, had nothing else on my dvr to watch. I'll revisit if it lasts another season...

I recently watched some of the canceled episodes and realize the reason it was canceled was because it touched on touchy subjects in the US. A strong female lawyer, another lawyer who is a trans woman and they show her struggles being accepted and opening up herself to a new relationship, corruption in the justice system that this firm exposes, the fact women get the raw end of the deal in rape cases even if they are telling the truth, and then get accused of smearing the man's name... I think that all the stuff touched in this series are great and they should really reconsider restarting this series again.

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.
