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?
Since I have found this show, I have been faithfully watching. When I looked it up online, I discovered it had been canceled. Very disappointing! I don’t care to watch reality shows, and I had been thinking that CBS has more really good dramas. Too bad!
I really like the show and it was not given a chance!!!
Bring the show back. I’ve enjoyed watching it, great storyline. Let it be a Summer Series but don’t cancel it.
I love this show!!! Bring it back!!! You didn’t give it a chance!!!
I enjoyed this show and think you ought to reconsider!!
I like the writing and looked forward to the next episode.
This was smart TV, I’m tired to dummy shows.
Very sorry this show is being cancelled … enjoyed it very much .. please reconsider.
I enjoyed the show, I’m tired of having good shows cancelled for reality TV shows. I stopped watching a lot of networks for this reason.
Doubt was well written, smart, well acted. Every week the scripts got better & the cases were engrossing. I guess only dumb shows like the Bachelor succeed. Also CBS made no effort to advertise the show. CBS should reconsider & bring the show back. Since it was a new show it should been been wedged between two successful shows. I doubt Bull would have made it without that help.
I enjoy watching the show why was this cancelled,
this show is an excellent depiction of great acting. Although it doesn’t seem like acting because it seems so effortless, I love Dule HIll, Katherine Heigel, Laverne and all of the other actors that make this show so excellent. I miss great lawyer shows. I miss shoes that can be Funny, serious, interesting, smart, fashionable all while making it an interesting show to watch. it has a great storyline while having storyline and characters that draw you in. This show reminds me of other great shows that I enjoyed like Ally McBeal and all of the other amazing shows. I… Read more »
I would have kept watching as I think it was canceled too early.
I would have kept watching. Katherine Heigl is not a kiss of death for a show. Give her a chance. Laverne Cox is a wonderful actress. Networks are to quick to cancel shows.
This is an excellent show – maybe the best new drama of the season: beautifully acted, written, directed – smart, funny, touching, d a little romantic. I would definitely have kept watching!
Have faithfully watched the show and it just keeps getting better!
I cannot believe that CBS canceled a show after just two weeks. The show was great and I told my friends about it. I am happy you are at least finishing season one. Now how about creating season two.
