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?
We have really been enjoying it! Would definitely have kept watching!
I love, love, love this show! I don’t watch a lot of local programming but I do watch this series. I hate that CBS isn’t even giving it a chance.
Excellent show. Superb writing. Great acting. Wish it would be renewed.
I hate that CBS decided to cancel this show. My husband and I both enjoy watching it. We are not included in the millennial group so I guess our opinion doesn’t count.
I can’t believe this show is being cancelled! I am really enjoying it and just recommended it to a friend before I knew it was being cancelled.
I am so glad that you decided to air the other episodes of Doubt. It is a terrific show and I think you did not give it a chance by canceling it after two episodes. I am so glad that this summer I am getting to see more of it. I feel you should give it another chance.
CBS TV ~ WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? CANCELING DOUBT AFTER TWO EPISODES? Thank goodness a LITTLE sanity came into play when they decided to release the other canned episodes, on their random schedule. Without my DVR and the ability to tape, I would have missed a stellar show. It is unbelievable production has ended. As it is, I have only been able to retrieve six episodes. DOUBT IS A KEEPER! KATHERINE HEIGL AND CAST ARE EXCELLENT. The writing is ‘over the top’. It keeps me wanting more! Isn’t this what CBS wants in a show? I really hope other TV… Read more »
I was so glad that you brought Doubt back. With all the bad shows on television you seem to take off thegood ones
We LOVE Doubt! It is a wonderful character study that runs the gamut of human emotions and feelings! I hope that the network programming execs will listen to those who watch and reconsider their decision. My husband and I truly look forward to this show!
Love “Doubt” ! I was very sad to hear it is cancelled! So glad they are showing the whole season.
I really like this show and I can say I am very disappointed it is cancelled. I don’t get why but to cancel it after two episodes gave the show no chance to build an audience.
I love “Doubt”. I am so glad they are playing all of the first season episodes. Hope someone changes their mind and keeps it on. I am so tired of all the reality shows. This one carries on a storyline but also adds new storylines weekly.
My family and I really like this show. Better than a lot of the shows this year.
Very disappointed that it was cancelled.
I like this show very much. It is so much better than many other shows on the air. CBS never gave it a chance pulling it after only 2 episodes.
This is more proof that the execs in charge of programming at CBS have little no clue about Good TV. If the Numbers were Off back in February, causing the cancellation , AFTER just 2 Episodes!! It was because of the time it premiered. Its a Great Show , and is Fantastic as a Summer replacement . I wonder if the programing Department is bright enough to realize that , and that they would have a Success if they ordered a second season for next summers scheduled.. Naaa… I don’t have to Wonder.. I am sure they are not smart… Read more »
