'Proven Innocent' episode 1 review: Here's why some viewers could not get past the pilot episode of Fox's new legal drama

An excess of emotional elements in the characters, may not appeal to many courtroom drama fans, that is, perhaps, why many have changed their minds about 'Proven Innocent'
PUBLISHED FEB 19, 2019

Fox's highly anticipated legal drama managed to build plenty of hype leading up to the season premiere February 15, and about 3.09 million viewers tuned in to watch the show, but a few minutes in, it seems many lost interest. No, the show isn't boring, but there are several reasons why the viewers decided to let go of the drama, halfway through the pilot, even before 'Prove Innocent' proved anything.

The show got mixed reviews and many took to applaud the pilot episode where the premise of the show is set - a young fierce lawyer, Madeline Scott (Rachelle Lefevre) wants to fight for the wrongly convicted, mainly because she empathizes with them. She herself was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her best friend, Rosemary Lynch when she was a teenager.
