'Proven Innocent' review: Fox's spellbinding new courtroom drama has a bewitching motif
The showrunners of Fox's highly anticipated legal drama 'Proven Innocent,' promised delivering "a soapy-sexy" feel to a murder mystery, but from the two episodes I've seen, I got a witchy vibe. The premiere aired today and the case of a woman named Lucia was taken up by Madeline Scott's (Rachelle Lefevre) firm to take down Gore Bellows (Kelsey Grammer) and hinder his prospects of becoming the state's Attorney General.
For a kick starter, both for the show as well as for the young lawyer Madeline, the case was a glorious win. Not only was it impossible to crack at first, but Lucia was a hated character, portrayed by the media as a wicked goth witch, thanks to her confession on tape with black paint across her eyes, laughing out loud, saying the "angel" made her "do it."
