The media and criminal law have a complicated relationship... the story of a salacious crime is a powerful tool to drive up news viewership numbers, while what's being reported and how it's portrayed can sway public perception of crimes and the parties involved. These facts are far from lost on news producer Julia George and criminal defense attorney Jake Gregorian, who have a relationship built on the ways they can benefit each other professionally. "Notorious" is inspired by true stories about Mark Gegaros and Wendy Walker, who also serve as executive producers.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Implausible and populated with unlikable characters, Notorious forsakes dramatic credibility in favor of flash and fluff.

Mike Hale New York Times 05/22/2020
The attractiveness of the stars is more relevant than usual because "Notorious..." doesn't have much else going for it. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 05/22/2020
1/4
Mistaking cynicism for sense and creepy for sexy, Notorious just might have been able to yank yet one more thread out of the social fabric - were it not, almost thankfully, so numbingly lazy, stupid and inadequate. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling TheWrap 06/13/2018
There are a lot of missed opportunities in the pilot to really dig into that relationship... Unfortunately for now that's lost in all of the many other subplots going on, making Notorious feel like watered-down, TV-lite fare. Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider 12/20/2017
While there are a few instances of snappy storytelling that might make viewers excited, as a whole it underwhelms. Go to Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media 09/27/2016

11/09/2017 Very good, enjoyed it thoroughly See more 12/18/2016 One of few shows both my husband and I like. Like Perabo in thi role, good chemistry. Hope it stays on! See more 11/26/2016 I like this series. It's no Scandal for sure but it's not like the review says. In my opinion, it's the opposite of what the "tomatometer" says ....as you can see from the consensus, 70 percent of viewers really like it. In the past year, there has not been one single movie /TV series review on this website that I came close to agreeing with.....just sayin.. See more 11/24/2016 This show is good fun and completely addictive. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled before it even gets going. See more 11/17/2016 This is a show I haven't watched a lot of but once was enough for me to see that it was just not for me it seemed to just agg on and on and go nowhere so I just haven't tried again I love scandal how to get away with murder but this is just boring and unfun See more 11/14/2016 I think the leads are pretty strong but the rest of the characters are boring or have no storyline. The behind the scenes look at cable news and attorney's is an interesting premise. Cast is still missing some key pieces. See more Read all reviews
