Hayley Atwell’s last ABC series, Marvel’s Agent Carter, lasted two seasons before being cancelled. How will Conviction do in the ratings? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
A legal drama series, Conviction follows what happens when attorney Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell), the daughter of a former President, gets “blackmailed” into joining the Conviction Integrity Unit. It’s a NYC department that re-examines cases when there is suspicion of wrongful conviction. The rest of the cast includes Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.

Love the show one of the best new show
My favorite tv viewing is police and/or law drama. Great spin to see the main characters trying to reinvestigate a crime and get someone out of jail. Give it the chance to develop a following.
Love Hayley Atwell but the Conviction plot is dumb. Agent Carter was much better. Only reason I watch is Haley Atwell. Hope she gets a better series next time.
Love the show! Its different so I hope its not cancelled!
Really good show but I wish they would write an episode about how “recreational use” has ripple effects through society.
Love this show. Please don’t cancel it
Have really enjoyed this series so far and would love a second season to see how the characters develop
GREAT SHOW!!!!!!! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT.
Best new show on tv. Would love to see more of it.
I feel that this show really has a lot of potential and wish that ABC would give it a chance. The cast is great and while the pilot was slow, we are really starting to learn about the characters and the last few cases have been really interesting
Love the show. The first episode was rough but the next two episodes are amazing. It’s a smart show and given the chance it could really turn into a great show. It’s was better than Quantico
Second episode FAR better than the pilot. More story development, less introduction of characters.
The show deserves a chance!
Love the show, almost didn’t watch, but I’m so glad I did. Hope their are more episodes to come.
I think the show is fantastic. I think Hayley Atwell is a terrific actress and it is so refreshing to see a truly normal size person in a TV show (or any media, for that matter. Nice to see a show that doesn’t try to corral viewers because of naked body parts, sex, uncouth language, guts and gore, blaring music, or canned anything to tell me how to feel. Great job to the creators and writers.
I started it and turned it off… then I watched the whole thing! I actually like it… so that means it will absolutely be cancelled before it gets into a groove. Let me know any shows you need me to hate immediately so it will run for a solid 8 seasons… and deepest apologies to other fans.
