Review of Conviction

Conviction (2006)
7/10
good show, bad timing
19 December 2016
"Conviction" was a one-season Dick Wolf production. Dick Wolf is the mastermind of such long-running shows as Law & Order, L&O:SVU, and L&O: Special Victims Unit.

This is another Law and Order spin off, starring Stephanie March reprising her role as Alexandra Cabot, and some attractive young actors as ADAs, including Juliette Nicholson, Eric Balfour, Jordan Bridges, Milena Govich, and Anson Mount.

The stories focus in on a few cases, not just one, but also on the private lives of the attorneys. And the episodes I've seen are absorbing and well acted.

I don't remember this series at all, and I think part of the problem may have been there were just too many series similar to this on the air. I could be wrong but I think besides the three Dick Wolf series, there was also Shark, Justice, and Just Legal -- too many, and I don't think any of the newcomers survived.

It's a shame, though the actors all went on to have successes. This one had some promise but was lost in the cracks.
