blanche-2 "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.

yuehan1 Compelling show, enjoyed every episode. Thought I would hate it, but couldn't resist downloading the first episode for free from itunes. I was hooked from there. Too bad it was canceled. Some of the comments here claim that this show was too formulaic, but I beg to differ. There was a freshness in the cast of this show. Enough to make it worthwhile to come back to. My one criticism stems from the predictability of the episodes. It seems that the young DAs somehow win every single case, or at least get a pretty good plea deal. This seems unrealistic to say the least. I would think that there is a MUCH lower success rate with these types of cases. Then again, TV requires suspension of disbelief, and apparently the better the show, the more one must suspend. Here's hoping that the powers that be see some of the positive comments about this show and decide to breathe life into it once again.

c20006660 Hi Over the Christmas break I got a chance to watch the Conviction DVDs and I must say that they are amazing.Being an SVU fan, I was initially drawn to the Alexandra Cabot character, however I must say that I have enjoyed all the characters.Is there any chance that this series will be revived?The most exhilarating episode was the second last one and I was very thankful that there was a finale. So many of the 'ending' episodes prior to a series being off air for the non-ratings season end with cliff-hangers and I was pleasantly surprised that this one did not.While you knew the ending, come on the good guys must win. But I wasn't prepared for it to be so dramatic.The character profiles make the DVDs a worthwhile buy even if you have seen the series on TV.

randypeck Wanting to duplicate the "success" of the soon-to-be-defunct WB (if targeting young viewers made so much money why did they fold their tent?!!) NBC cast a bunch of pretty-boys and girls in this show.No attention was paid to acting ability and when you add absurdly unrealistic situations and dialogue, you get a show that is creatively DOA (like practically every show on NBC nowadays) Isn't it time that some executives who actually know what they're doing be hired by NBC instead of the hipsters currently in power there who can only spin the numbers and obsess over the "all important" demographics that would make them feel hip.Ageism is just as bad as all the other prejudices, but somehow, in TV land, it's all right to be prejudiced against older viewers, actors and creators. The result is hopelessly bad shows like Convictions (and most of the UPN and WB lineups)
