SnoopyStyle Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell) is the scandal-plagued former First Daughter. New York DA and former flame Conner Wallace (Eddie Cahill) gets her out of jail in exchange for leading his new Conviction Integrity Unit. The team is given 5 days for each case to investigate and overturn. Team members include paralegal Tess Larson (Emily Kinney) who is trying to atone for her involvement in a wrongful conviction, ambitious ADA Sam Spencer (Shawn Ashmore), skeptical lead investigator Maxine Bohen (Merrin Dungey), and ex-con turned forensics expert Frankie Cruz (Manny Montana). Jackson Morrison is Hayes' brother working on their mother's Senate campaign.This is a procedural with a set formula that the show constructs right from the pilot. There is nothing organic about the construction. The premise is laid out in the first ten minutes and the show tries to power through it with the sassy Hayley Atwell. I continue to hope that she finds a home somewhere but I doubt it's here. Maybe she's better off making movies. One way to create better construction would have been to follow one member of the team every show. There is a safeness to this show that isn't very winning.

sakharv 1) It is a female lead show. Not many of those on air. 2) Hayes is privileged, yet objective on controversial issues. Both are requirements for her job as head of the CIU. And although she is considered flawed and destructive and problematic, her objectiveness and vulnerability (which in my opinion originated in her privileged, yet overexposed childhood) redeem her. 3) The CIU is not a fictional unit. It exists in certain cities throughout the country. People should know about this fact. 4) The show brings diversity in many regards. And I for one love that Hayes is bi (and this fact was stated in a very casual, matter- of-factly way, as it should be). Plus Hayes and Maxine have developed a good friendship. And so have Tess and Frankie. 5) Tess has questioned her white privilege on multiple occasions. I think that makes her a fantastic role model. And we need more episodes to see that Matty actually forgave Tess (and that forgiveness is possible in such life-altering situations). 6) Frankie portrays that people can reform after a conviction. A prison sentence does not define a person. Human beings are multi- faceted, complex individuals who can change and improve. 7) And above all, the show brings up controversial issues that many people don't often think about or purposefully overlook because those issues don't affect their daily lives.

Kurokami Miki This is a good show with highs and lows some good stories some with so many plot holes that would make a grater blush. The reason I gave it a 3 is because Hayley Atwell if not her it would be a 1 star all the way. The writers on this show are making it political for some reason, they forgot that good writing attracts quality viewers but no this show has a point to make especially about race and gender, why can't it be a show with a strong female lead (like the Good Wife, Bones, How to Get Away with Murder and a few unmentioned other), why does it need to yet again use the victimization agenda of SJW, no more quality TV.I never understood why lately all the shows are trying to create racial tension I will never understand. Now to motivate why I say all of the above: Episode 1. Victim: Female Hispanic (dead); Wrong convict: Male Black (released); Real Convict: Male Hispanic (incarcerated); Theme: Male violence;Episode 2. Victim: Female Black (alive); Wrong convict: 2 Male White (2 released); Real Convict: Male White (incarcerated); Theme: Teen Male violence;Episode 3. Victim: Multiple Male Muslim (dead); Wrong convict: Male White (bigot, free speech blogger) (incarcerated); Real Convict: Female Muslim (incarcerated); Theme: Racist White Male, Muslim Woman Justice;Episode 4. Victim: Autistic Child (dead); Wrong convict: Woman White (released); Main Suspect: White Male Dad Real Convict: Child Female White (not sure); Theme: Moms that suffer with autistic kids;Episode 5.

Victim: Multiple Woman (dead); Wrong convict: White Man(dead); Real Convict: White Male (not sure);Make your own conclusions.

leopalski I loved Hayley Atwell in Agent Carter and love her in this as well! The reasoning for why she got the job is not very believable , but I really think all the actors and their characters are great and interesting to watch. I don't think it would work if they weren't.I don't know why, but the boss relationship issue seems a little over used, but it doesn't spoil the rest of the show. When all put together, there is plenty of conflicts and issues within the different characters to keep me wanting to see more.I really like it! Hayley is a great actress and is surrounded by great actors here as well!
