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?
should be renewed
Please, please, somebody pick up this show! I think it must have been up against some heavy hitters when it started on Thursday nights. There are few good legal shows left on tv, and this one was smart and fun and riveting!
I liked that show a lot. How come they always cancel the good shows?
Doubt was a great show, it should not have been canceled. I watch less and less new shows on that network, they constantly cancel good shows. I hope someone else picks doubt up.
I am extremely disappointed that this show was cancelled. It was riveting and suspenseful. It made me laugh, sigh and cry.
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back!!!!!
I loved this show sat night was not the night it should have been on PLEASE RENEW
I am extremely disappointed that CBS is cancelling this series. Doubt is very entertaining and on the same level(maybe better) than The Good Wife!
I really got into the last 11 episodes of Doubt. The show’s story lines really held my interest and there is great character development. I really wish this would be picked up for the 2nd season by CBS. If not I wish it could be shopped around to another network.
Second time ive gotten interested in a good show featuring Kathrine Heigl, and had it unexplainely cancelled. State of Affairs and now Doubt. Seems networks are quick to pull the plug these days. Hopefully this one gets picked up on another network but wont hold my breathe
For some reason good, intelligent, interesting shows don’t appeal to the 18 – 49 demographic and that’s the only one networks care about. The rest of us aren’t important to them. It makes me wonder about the intelligence of that demographic that the only thing that appeals to them are reality shows. Of course those are also cheaper to produce! So if networks can get them to watch crap at less cost, why bother with quality programs? Maybe if all the unimportant people quit watching network tv they’d finally pay attention. What do you think folks? Ready to boycott?
So disappointed that this was cancelled. Really enjoyed it. Fox, HBO, Amazon…someone, pick this up, please!
A great show with plenty to keep your interest. Why CBS would cancell this series is a total mystery. Of course CBS is not known for their great decisions.
Intelligent show, so no surprise it was cancelled.
No they should not have cancelled this show! Great acting and story line. Kept you guessing.. will miss it. Hope they continue..
They shouldn’t have cancelled “Doubt”! Strong cast would have kept this storyline going. Unfortunately, networks are too quick to cancel new shows. Seems if it isn’t a reality show, it’s not wanted. Highly disappointed!
Bring it back… I loved the show. Much better than most of the crud on tv nowadays…. Theres mush more of the story and future storylines you can do with it
