TV show description:
From creator David Elliot, who executive produces with Danny Strong and showrunner Adam Armus, the Proven Innocent TV show is a legal drama that centers on Madeline Scott (Lefevre), a resolute attorney on a lifelong quest for justice. When she was just 18, Madeline was wrongfully convicted of murder, along with her brother, Levi (Smith).
Today, no one knows better than Madeline how essential to justice is to set free innocent people. To that end, she and her partner, Easy Boudreau (Hornsby), lead an underdog defense team, dedicated to overturning unjust convictions.
Madeline’s bond with Easy runs deep. He helped her attain her freedom after she served 10 years in prison. Rounding out their team are investigator Bodie Quick (Kartheiser) and communications director Violet Price (James), who produces a true-crime podcast based on their investigations.
While Madeline’s mission is a noble one, her hard-hitting approach is not without its detractors. The most prominent of these is Gore Bellows (Grammer), the prosecutor who oversaw Madeline’s conviction and is still convinced of her guilt.
Although Bellows is determined to return Madeline to prison, she continues her fight to free the innocent and search for the real killer in her own case.
Series Finale:
Episode #13 — In Defense of Madeline Scott, Part 2
With Madeline’s freedom at stake, Easy’s defense hits a bump in the road. The team must band together to focus on solving Rosemary’s murder once and for all before time runs out. Meanwhile, as Bellows closes in, new evidence and old enemies come into play.
First aired: May 10, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Proven Innocent TV series? Should this FOX TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Very good story lines and I enjoyed the acting and the personal eliminates that the main character added from her past. HOWEVER. WHY DOES EVERY AMERICAN SHOW NOW, HAVE TO PUSH A POLITICAL AGENDA. I made it to episode 5. First 4 episodes push that only black people get wrongly convicted but I thought no maybe the next one will be a white person….well I was right it was…..BUT HE WAS WHITE SUPREMACY…… HOW BUASED DO YOU WANT TO BE. ARE THERE NO WRONGLY CONVICTED WHITE PEOPLE IN AMERICA. After reading 9/10 reviews saying the same thing, I’m not going… Read more »
Truly great concept, so what were they thinking????? Miserable execution with possibly the most cliches per line of dialogue created. And if I had to hear “who killed Rosemary” one more time…I woulda barfed.
Why take it off? Is it because Kelsey Grammer is a conservative? I am!
Love this show
Please bring back Proven Innocence, it is such a feel good show. Very powerful especially in our Country’s current atmosphere.
