Brilliant and beautiful, Sadie Ellis has a good job at a boutique law firm where she works with passionate warrior for justice Cameron Wirth, second-year associate Tiffany Simon, former felon Nick, and her close friend Albert Cobb, who believes he knows everything about her -- but Sadie has a secret that could put everything on the line. Clandestinely involved with her charming client, Billy Brennan, a pediatric surgeon accused of murdering his girlfriend 24 years ago, she must work harder than ever to prove his innocence, even if she's not always certain of it.

It's not a perfect show. Still, I'll treasure it for it's revolutionary representation of trans women in pop culture. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 02/16/2017
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. Go to Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 02/15/2017
2/4
Doubt is a legal drama so heavy on the personal that it veers into soap territory. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 02/17/2017
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Stacy Glanzman TV Fanatic 02/16/2017
4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 02/15/2017
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/04/2018 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. See more 11/05/2017 The first two episodes were crap, but the rest of the season was _fabulous_! See more 10/28/2017 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. ?? See more 08/14/2017 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.! See more 08/14/2017 I really enjoyed it and wish it would come back See more 08/05/2017 Love this show! It's nice and mellow with sarcasm. Unlike some of tv's other violent shows.
