Review of Conviction

After the gimmicky, kind of schlocky, pilot, the show surprisingly reveals layers of depth, particularly to its central character Hayes. Hayley Atwell, one of my fav actors, plays her with customary panache and sensitivity. Unfortunately, the creators have seen fit to interject episodes with gimmicky animation and music which disturb the viewer's involvement, both emotional and narrative! Too bad! Still, personally, I find the series watchable and intelligent.... Update; watched Ep4 "Stay Woke", wow--dialogue and plot are prescient, given the massive BLM protests rocking the world today! Show is seriously GOOD
