Telly’s Take
Hayley Atwell was charming in Marvel’s Agent Carter but the ratings were lousy and the series was cancelled. I think the network was hoping that her fans would help make Conviction a hit. Unfortunately, the ratings were low to start and they’ve gotten much worse. ABC didn’t order any more episodes beyond the initial 13 episode order. That, combined with the terrible ratings, means that it’s very doubtful that Conviction will survive to see a second season. Unfortunately, we may not get official word from ABC until May. My condolences. Better luck next time, Ms. Atwell.
5/12 update: ABC has officially cancelled Conviction after one season. Details here.

Great cast. A new way to seeing criminal cases. Heartbreaking to see it end so soon.
Please, Please bring Conviction back for a second season. Very clever take on things. A refreshing change from Law & Order. Soooo tired of that show and they keep spinning off new ones, ugh.

I LOVE this show, watch it over and over again. Please don’t cancel it!!!!
Love this show what a different take on courtroom drama very very awesome !
I enjoy the show Convictions. Sometimes a new show does not get good ratings in the beginning, but if you invest in the show an audience grows and it becomes a hit. There are several shows on television that had poor ratings in the beginning and are now big hits. I wish another station would pick up the show, preferably the station that airs the Big Bang Theory, and place the show where it has a chance to become a big hit. The station that broadcast it now never gives a show a chance to develop an audience. I preferably… Read more »
I enjoy the show, and all the characters. Hope that it gets renewed. Maybe needs different time slot!!!
So disappointed that the numbers didn’t work cause I live this show. Eddie Cahill (favorite from CSI) and Haley Atwell share great chemistry. And lots of familiar faces too,…(The Following, Graceland, Private Practice)…I really enjoyed this show….one of the few I’d watch in real time (dvr…fast forward through commercials)
Now a days a lot of us binge watch the shows, and wait for the season to be over to start watching the shows. this is a smart and entertaining show, it would be a shame the executive don’t give a chance.
This is one of my favourite shows, it would be sad to see it go.
I really like conviction I hope it gets renewed for season 2 and I want Wallace and Hayes to end up together.
