Murders of a family in their Philadelphia home 12 years ago led to the conviction of two construction workers. The sentence quelled rising racial tension and made a name for DA Adam Page. Now, Innocence Initiative caseworker Christine Rosa believes that one of the two convicts isn't guilty, and she struggles to stop his impending execution. Working to exonerate him, she clashes with Page, who would uphold the verdict and his reputation. Faced with the question of a man's innocence but motivated by their history -- their own divide -- they struggle within the justice system.

The Divide is a show about a highly racial crime, but it does not utilize race pruriently or simplistically. Go to Full Review Allison Keene The Hollywood Reporter 07/17/2014
Under Goldwyn's direction, the series has a cold, wintry palette, and a darkness to it that is atmospheric without being overwhelming, and serves to reflect the show's illustration of moral grayness. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 09/02/2014
