It is those events that tell of the lawyer who was appointed and his first daughter, Hayes Morrison, to head the New Integrity Unit in New York City, where that person appears to be the most suitable for that position. Now, things seem to be going well when the lawyer and his daughter use their brilliant minds to investigate cases where people may have been wrongly convicted in that big garden.
Conviction is so into overkill, it's hard to tell what to take seriously. Maybe Atwell has that same feeling about this lame procedural consolation prize for ABC's failure to establish her better vehicle Agent Carter.
The real guilty parties here are the writers who've populated this show with so many stock characters and clichéd twists that it's difficult to become invested in any of the outcomes.
While Conviction is a fine show, it's lawyer-scandal-cop formula is also a dime a dozen. Agent Carter was one of a kind. It's hard not to think about its absence when watching these first few mediocre episodes.
