More Show More Episodes 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. Feb 15, 2017 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic If it would just focus and let its talented actors play off one another rather than splitting them up amid various tasks, it might end up being something more than just entertaining -- within reason. Feb 15, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Esther Zuckerman AV Club Top Critic Decent courtroom/workplace drama, also a pioneering one. Feb 13, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic When it comes to TV law firms, the one on CBS' wobbly Doubt can't compare to the one on the sturdy Good Wife. Feb 10, 2017 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Doubt gives few justifications for sticking with it, other than an undeniably super cast of actors I'd be eager to watch weekly on a much better show. Feb 16, 2017 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter Top Critic 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. Feb 15, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic 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. Feb 17, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Emily Ashby Common Sense Media It's very clear from the dialogue, pacing, and tone that Doubt would really like to remind you of still another CBS show -- The Good Wife -- but, sorry, it's nowhere in the same league. Feb 15, 2017 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV While Katherine Heigl is a natural fit for the lead role, the show is generally at its best when it focuses on Laverne Cox and Dulé Hill's characters instead. Feb 15, 2017 | Rating: 6.3/10 | Full Review… Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies Imitation Shonda Rhimes just isn't as good as the real thing. Feb 15, 2017 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald 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. Jan 4, 2017 | Full Review… Chelsea Tatham Tampa Bay Times I know Katherine Heigl can be...controversial, but I like her, and I think this is a great role for her. The series even has a bit of a Shonda Rhimes feel to it. Feb 16, 2017 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Stacy Glanzman TV Fanatic View All Critic Reviews (30) Audience Reviews for Doubt: Season 1 Nov 04, 2018 A série acaba por ser boa graças ao elenco talentoso e a alguns casos interessantes nos episódios. É uma pena a série ter sido cancelada, porque ela tinha algum potencial. Gonçalo S Nov 05, 2017 The first two episodes were crap, but the rest of the season was _fabulous_! Tiffany M Oct 28, 2017 This was a solid show with a great cast and strong writing and storytelling. Why the network failed to give it time to develop is beyond me! It joins Firefly and Tru Calling in the graveyard of excellent shows. ?? Genine H Aug 14, 2017 I liked the first two episodes enough, that I was gonna watch weekly, and video review weekly.! But, after that, it got pretty bad. Not awful, but definitely not as good and promising as the beginning. The first two episodes were solely written by the two creators, and they only wrote the finale after that. The pilot was also directed by Adam Bernstein, of Breaking Bad fame, and several other things for me. So I see why it lowered immensely in quality, and kind of decreased over time. But, if you're easy to please, and like law shows, I think this is for you. But I was pretty frustrated at the finale, especially since they had five months between episodes airing. They were cancelled, if you didn't already know. This show, I mean. This show was cancelled. Wow. Ok. That's it, now.! Andruw F Aug 14, 2017 I really enjoyed it and wish it would come back Marian S Aug 13, 2017 If most of your critics are men and you viewed this in the beginning you destroyed a very entertaining show...As must as I loved The Good Wife this was better...you got in cancelled...and we were left hanging..in the future when RT gives a bad review I will hurry to watch on TV or go to the movie.. another one you didn't like..Chicago Justice..which was great... jane r Aug 05, 2017 Love this show! It's nice and mellow with sarcasm. Unlike some of tv's other violent shows. Jul 29, 2017 Love it!! Really needs a 2nd season! If CBS is stupid and keeps it cancelled I hope Netflicks picks it up Private U Jul 21, 2017 I totally enjoy this program, and love the trans character. Joan H Jul 05, 2017 I enjoyed this show. It was fun, and the characters were complex. It was not as serious as L&O SVU which is just too intense. I enjoyed the change in pace.
