CGiii Comment
Ooops...after airing just 2 episodes, CBS pulled the show due to dismal ratings!
It's not too difficult to see why...this is a muddled, [weirdly] light-hearted approach to a legal drama...with too many 'quirky' characters surrounding the pugnacious lawyers. The silly soundtrack certainly doesn't help either.
Perhaps the rationale behind this was an attempt to 'Ally McBeal' the legal drama...well, that would require far better writers...a talent pool deeper than this shallow effort.
Ooops.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A successful defense lawyer at a boutique firm becomes romantically involved with a client who may or may not be guilty of a brutal crime.
The Orange Is The New Black star and former Emmy nominee has been cast in a new pilot for CBS, Doubt, a legal drama that follows "a yet-to-be-cast attorney who gets romantically involved with one of her clients who may or may not be guilty of a brutal crime," according to Variety. Cox will play a tenacious transgender lawyer:
[Cox] will play Cameron Wirth, a trans Ivy League-educated lawyer who’s both competitive and compassionate. Described as fierce and funny, Cameron’s own experience with injustice causes her to fight even harder for all of her clients.
Cox’s role is a big move for diversity and transgender actors this pilot season.
