Proven Innocent (on tv, shows, characters, episodes)

[Sophiasmommy]

Didn't see a thread about it, if one exists, mods feel free to merge. It premiered last night and I thought that it was quite good. It stars Canadian carrot top Rachael Lefebvre as a wrongfully convicted murderer who was exonerated and went to law school when she got out to help other innocent people who were wrongfully convicted, Kelsey Grammar as the sleezy AD who will do anything to get convictions and is trying to become the states AG and Grimm star Russel Hornsby who was the attorney who got Lefebvre's conviction overturned and then became her business partner. The subplot is that the murder of the girl who Lefebvre and her brother were convicted of killing is still unsolved 20 years later. I thought that it was well acted and save for a few cliché and cheesy lines, well written and it looks like a keeper. Between this and The Passage, Fox has really stepped up their drama game.

I didn't realize it was on last night. I had been looking forward to watching it. I will catch it on FOX's website. It will be nice to see Hornsby again.

I don’t watch lot of Fox and usually DVR shows that I watch but will look for this On Demand and maybe put it into my recording schedule

So I tried watching this on my Ipad’s ATT Uverse app—On Demad
And the lip synch is so off it was making me dizzy
Will try on tv and hope it is better
But there are two episodes—not just the pilot—now On Demand for anyone who wants to watch...

If you don't watch Fox, you're missing out on The Passage too. It's good.

I watched it. Thanks for reminding us it was on, Sophiasmommy. Except for The Resident, I haven't watched much on Fox in a long time. There was an enjoyable legal drama that took place in the South a year or two ago, but except for that, it's been just The Resident for me.

I didn't care much for Proven Innocent, at least not so far. I thought the previous Innocence Project inspired show (ABC, Hayley Atwell) was better, and given that that was canceled so quickly, I'm leery about investing in one that's not as well-written. I'll watch another episode, but are all her wins against Kelsey Grammer's Snidely Whiplash DA going to be this easy? Not much in the way of dramatic tension, though I imagine that will ramp up as we get closer to the end of the election process.

Is The Passage a supernatural story?

I did not care for it. Neither did DW. I thought the lead characters weren’t that interesting or well acted. Even Kelsey Grammer wasn’t that good. The minor characters were very good but they can’t carry a show. Sadly I don’t think this will make it. Will see. Jay

Depends on what you call supernatural I guess. I call ghosts, mediums, supernatural. Vampires I call fiction and "can't happen ". That IS what Passage is about...people being turned into vamps from a biological substance.

Whether "supernatural" or "can't happen," vampires are super-unwatchable to me. The minute I see one of those face-squish movements, I am gone.

I watched it and I think Kelsey grammar is better in comedy than drama . Nope I wont be watching it again . Sorry nothing special for me .
