GHScorpiosRule July 30, 2017 Share July 30, 2017 This was the best episode so far. Dulé kicked it out of the park tonight. I was holding my breath and on the edge of my seat when Albert let Sadie have it about her sleeping with Billy. What he should do (report her to the Bar), that she should be disbarred, but he won't. Honestly, a show as ridiculous as Suits is still on the air when it gets so many things wrong and this show got pulled? Though the cannibal case grossed me out and really, would have been a mistrial after the client's outburst, I was just too happy to see DeShawn! from Beverly Hills, 90210 and Jimmy!!! from The Practice!!! Now, did Tiffany's blonde hair just grow out or did she color it brown? Here I did a lot of ???because no way would she have time to do that nonsense during the working day. But, whatever.

kaygeeret July 31, 2017 Share July 31, 2017 So this episode is the first one I have seen - why do they do this I don't know- I digress. By the end I was so sad the series was cancelled because I won't be watching Dule' Hill on TV for a bit, aktho' I guess a Psyc film is coming up. I have loved him since I saw him in The West Wing. At that time I was completely unaware of his B'way chops and tap dance skills. I do love that Psyc let him showcase his talents. That said he killed this episode and I will watch whatever reruns they show just to see him again. The rest of the show.....what a piece of dreck. I completely understand viewers staying away in droves and the decision to cancel. I hope Dule' finds a role that lasts a bit/that he can enjoy and really shine.

Xantar July 31, 2017 Share July 31, 2017 The cannibal librarian storyline is based on a real case except that one involved a group of people (one of whom was a librarian. The others were an electrician and a cop, I believe). And strangely enough, the result of that story reflects real life to some extent, too. The real life cop was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, but the judge set aside the jury verdict just like in this case. Unfortunately, one of the other people in the case has no recourse because he pled guilty to a lesser charge and therefore has no way to get a judge to overturn the conviction. Nonetheless, I pretty much wanted to smack everybody except Cam. I wanted to smack the prosecutor for bringing a bad case to trial. I wanted to smack the judge for eating and talking with his mouth full. I wanted to smack the client for not being able to control herself on the stand and really clearly needing some therapy. I wanted to smack the jury for the guilty finding. But at least the judge redeemed himself in the end, even if his eating habits are still gross. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/53411-doubt-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-3505936
Guest July 31, 2017 Share July 31, 2017 Albert is definitely my favorite person on the show by a large margin. Overall, I like the show, but I just can't like Sadie. I initially did, but she's just so ridiculous and over the top about everything. Yes, it's sad your mom has been in jail most of your life, but she should have thought of that before assisting in a murder (whether or not she realized it would go that far). Yes, your client is hot, but that doesn't excuse putting aside your professional obligations. Blah blah blah. She's not only jeopardizing her career, but really the whole reputation of the firm.

Nessie August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 This was the best episode so far, which isn't saying much considering we're talking about Doubt, but still...I did enjoy it. When the jury in the cannibal case came back with guilty I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME! so I was very glad to hear the judge react the same way. Interesting @Xantar (and terrifying) that it is based on a real case). Thought police, indeed, and kind of makes me rethink my rather recent decision to become more active online (not that I have cannibal fantasies or anything). I was so distracted by Tiffany's hair her entire first scene that I pretty much missed everything that was said after she entered the room. When Albert ripped into Sadie not once, but twice, I cheered him on. About damn time someone gave her a reality check. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/53411-doubt-general-discussion/page/3/#findComment-3511732
