TV show description:
A legal drama, the Doubt TV show follows Sadie Ellis (Katherine Heigl), a brilliant attorney at a boutique firm. Conflict arises when she starts to fall for her charismatic client.
Altruistic pediatric surgeon, Dr. Billy Brennan (Steven Pasquale), was recently accused of murdering his girlfriend, 24 years ago. Sadie struggles to keep their relationship strictly professional.
She must hide her growing feelings for Billy from everyone. Chief among them is close friend and colleague, Albert Cobb (Dulé Hill). Albert thinks he knows everything about Sadie, but that’s not the case.
Also working at the practice is Cameron Wirth (Laverne Cox). A transgender Ivy League grad, Cameron fights so passionately for her clients because she has experienced injustice first hand.
There is also Tiffany Simon (Dreama Walker), a second-year associate who is quickly learning the ropes from Wirth, as well as Nick Brady (Kobi Libii), a former felon who earned his degree while serving time.
The entire staff feels privileged to work for Isaiah Roth (Elliott Gould). The boss is not only a revered legal lion, but also a “lefty” legend. Roth’s approval is their highest goal.
Getting involved with her client could put Sadie’s career and happiness at risk — particularly if Billy is found guilty. She must work all the harder to prove reasonable doubt, even while she has some doubts of her own.
Series Finale:
Episode #13 — The Return
After the jury delivers their verdict in Billy’s trial, Sadie learns he has a secret that might have impacted his case. Also, Billy uses a favor owed to his family by the governor and gets Carolyn released from prison, and Nick is charged with the murder and Isaiah and the firm rally around him to get him released.
First aired: August 12, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Doubt TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched season two?
I cannot believe they canceled it after only two shows! It’s crazy. I have been looking for weeks on demand to see if it was coming back and then wandering if something happened to one of the cast members like Training Days star, May he Rest In Peace! I don’t know how a show can be deemed not good after only two shows!
Was there an underlying issue besides the ratings? I cannot believe it was canceled after only two episodes aired! It was bright, fresh, smart: W H Y ??? Kathryn Heigl was very good as always. It was nice to see Elliot Gould back also. Their combination played well. Bring it back for at least the 13-episode run so people have a chance to see what good clean TV is. I agree with other comments: Too much reality TV!
I cannot believe they pulled that program after only 2 episodes! Maybe TNT or USA will pick it up. Katherine Heigl was great.
it should have never been cancelled to much reality tv. Why are all the good tv shows cancelled.?
Agreed. Most people hadn’t even heard of it yet. What is wrong with the exec’s running TV? This show is great, and Katherine Heigl is amazing!
WHY oh WHY do they air a show for about 2 or 3 episodes and cancel it? I LOVED this show. Ridiculous. Never gave it a chance.
What the heck they aired 2 episodes!?? What is that? That is by far the most ridiculous thing. They didn’t even give it a chance. I liked it. I can’t believe they air these shows and then just yank them off because they don’t have 50 billion people watching it. Why not take of some of the trash they have on like house wives and Kardashians. I think we can all agree we can all live without that crap.
Why do all the good shows get cancelled? I thought Doubt was excellent. It made you think, laugh and look forward to the next episode. Elliot Gould at his best! Please bring it back
Bring it back on TV, please!
wonderful, intelligent legal show! Incredible cast! Needs to be put back on!
So disappointed that the 3rd show wasn’t on. Please do not cancel this wonderful series. Katherine Hegel was brilliant and love Elliot Gould.
I loved the show & was looking forward to watching more shows!
I loved this show. Put it back on!
I love this show and am very disappointed it’s being cancelled. I like the story lines of the clients, the interaction of clients with the lawyers, and the acting is excellent.
My husband & I started watching Doubt. We both enjoyed it and were searching for the 3rd episode. I can’t believe they pulled it. Why would CBS yank a show without giving it a chance? I was afraid they were going to add this to Good Fight on their “You have to pay extra to view these shows” CBS Access. What are they thinking!!
Yes I want to keep watching this series. I was enjoying it and looking to see if it had been moved to another night. It is very frustrating to start watching a show and having it cancelled without any type of finale. I don’t understand how a network expects to gain an audience when they they cancel in this manner. Makes you think twice before starting to watch any other new show with that network.
My husband & I enjoyed the 2 episodes we have seen…it is ridiculous to cancel a show that hasn’t been given a chance…
I really liked this show! They need to air the rest of the season!! ridiculous to cancel after only two episodes!
