Tv Season Info
Sadie Ellis (Katherine Heigl) is a brilliant attorney who falls in love with William Brennan (Steven Pasquale), a client of hers accused of killing his girlfriend 24 years earlier. She makes it her mission to prove William's innocence, while hiding her feelings from everyone at work for fear of ruining her career. Among her colleagues are Albert Cobb (Dulé Hill), her close friend; Cameron Wirt (Laverne Cox), a transgender attorney who experiences injustice all the time; Tiffany Simmons (Dreama Walker), a young associate and quick learner; and Nick (Kobi Libii), who earned his degree while in prison. Their boss is Isaiah Roth (Elliot Gould), a renowned attorney they're all trying to please. The first season of the legal drama follows the many cases the firm tackles, while also delving deeper into William's case.

News & Interviews for Doubt: Season 1
Critic Reviews for Doubt: Season 1
All Critics (30) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (14)
Doubt is a legal drama so heavy on the personal that it veers into soap territory.
February 15, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
So far it's strictly so-so on the storytelling front, but with some scenes that raise the bar beyond that. Those mostly involve Light, though. And she's not the one who's supposed to carry the load.
February 15, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
Decent courtroom/workplace drama, also a pioneering one.
February 13, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…
When it comes to TV law firms, the one on CBS' wobbly Doubt can't compare to the one on the sturdy Good Wife.
February 10, 2017 | Full Review…
Doubt is classic CBS procedural, but thankfully with some Good Wife vibes. And like that law show, the supporting cast and their B plots are strong.
January 4, 2017 | Full Review…
It's compelling in parts and humorous in fleeting moments, and there's always much intrigue surrounding Billy's past and whether he's really telling Sadie the truth about the case.
