James (“BrainDead,” “The Good Wife,” “The Book of Mormon”), Riley Smith (“Frequency”) and Clare O’Connor (“Easy”). Adam Armus is an executive producer and showrunner.
What do you think? Do you plan on checking out the new Proven Innocent series in 2019?
We were really enjoying “Proven Innocent” – that is, until you had Madeline and her lover from prison showing physical intimacy on TV. Why can’t you just let it be a crime drama and not bring in lesbian/gay themes. We quit watching after you made it such an issue – it was really a good show until you started showing that. It’s fine to show them as friends – but, please, don’t show them engaging in sex on TV – such a turnoff for a good show….
