Imagine what Conviction would have become if James Woods led the cast. I’m sure it would have been a lot better than what we were left with. Shark’s biggest problem will be based on how far the character of Stark can be taken. Eventually he will have to get a heart of some sort in the name of character development. But it is far more interesting to see an asshole on television than a normal guy.
If and when the main character gets to be tiresome, it will be up to the supporting cast that makes up his unit to make more out of his personality through some stories of their own. From the premiere, I couldn’t feel the need for anyone to be on the show — probably because they are intimidated by the star power of James Woods.
Hey, Woody Allen could use a hit. Why not give him a detective series? Yes, I know he hates television, but what other hits has he had lately?

Danielle Panabaker is the best thing about this show.

I thought Jeri Ryan was a good deal more than "monotonous" and she's a hugely underrated actress who is a competent co-star to the James Woods who is obviously the main star of this excellent production. I did not think the other co-stars were that bad either, even though their characters seem to be underwritten so-far.

Found this rather bland. I expected a lot more from James Woods than this clichéd legal drama. It’s hard to imagine how this could have tempted an actor of his stature.
As legal series go I much preferred last years ABC series 'In Justice.'
