Katherine Heigl of Gray’s Anatomy is back with Laverne Cox of Orange is The New Black in Doubt. Is this new series worth a look? Verdict!
The former star of Gray’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl, is back in the new series of CBS titled “Doubt” . The actress plays a brilliant and determined lawyer, a working girl who does not have the language in her pocket and not the kind to let themselves but who knows how to be understanding and care for its customers. Between Katherine Heigl and Elliott Gould of Friends, Steven Pasquale of The Good Wife or Laverne Cox of Orange is The New Black, Doubt’s cast is more than promising . But is the series really worth the look? The editor of melty offers you to discover, without further ado, her verdict on the new series of Katherine Heigl. As you say right away, this driver convinced us rather, Much more than that of State of Affair which had marked the return of the actress on television. The scenario of Doubt is captivating although it follows a rather simple schema. The talented Sadie Ellis falls under the spell of her client William Brennan who murdered his girlfriend 24 years ago. If the suspect claims his innocence, is he really all white? This is what the lawyer will have to discover during the season 1 of Doubt . If the suspect claims his innocence, is he really all white? This is what the lawyer will have to discover during the season 1 of Doubt . If the suspect claims his innocence, is he really all white? This is what the lawyer will have to discover during the season 1 of Doubt .
From this first episode we get to the heart of the matter very quickly. The beautiful and talented Doctor Brennan, son of a senator, looks perfect and yet he would have murdered his girlfriend, Amy Mayers, in 1991. Michael Slater says the doctor confessed to the murder during a therapy. If the romance points the tip of his nose between Sadie and his client was obviously predictable, it puts the lawyer in a situation of the most uncomfortable . For the moment the dilemma in which it is found is interesting but can it really keep us in suspense during several episodes? If this scenario is not really original, we are tempted to leave a chance to Doubt . The series is between The Good Wife and Gray’s Anatomy , We find similarities between the two shows. It is based on the Shondaland scheme while remaining very CBS . We find the humor and the funny situations of Gray’s Anatomy but also the relationship of Sadie and his boss who is rather a father-daughter relationship, very similar to that of Webber and Meredith. The lawyer is a workkaholic and a perfectionist like Christina Yang while friendship between Sadie and Albert makes us think of that of d’Alicia and Kalinda while the construction of the episode is quite similar to those of The Good Wife .

The series should each week feature the case of Billy Brennan and another case in parallel. The case of a schizophrenic taking for Jackie Chang was rather intriguing and well conducted by Laverne Cox who already knew how to make us fan of his character, Cameron Wirth. The characters are one of the strengths of the series . We like the cool judge, Isaiah Roth, who keeps getting into jail after offending the judges and calling the inmates “bro” . But also the very awkward assistant or Billy’s mother with the strong character who did not fail to point out to Albert that things are not always what they seem to be. The lawyer has a mark on his face because he cut himself by shaving, It does not mean that he killed someone the day before. His son had a scratched on his cheek, does that make him a murderer? Surely not ! At the end of the episode, one also discovers that if Sadie is brilliant, her life is not as smooth as one might have thought . His mother has been a murderer in prison for years and Isaiah is in love. The parallel of the two relationships obviously makes us think of that of Meredith and Derek with Ellis and Richard in Gray’s Anatomy . That looks rather pleasant to look at. We’ll meet you on Thursday for a new episode of Doubt . Meanwhile, discover the true reasons for Katherine Heigl’s departure from Gray’s Anatomy .
