Doubt: “Pilot” Review – IGN

IGN:

Katherine Heigl returns to primetime TV for a new legal drama that borrows heavily from the Grey's Anatomy playbook.

Doubt is sure to invite all sorts of comparisons to the mega-popular ABC series Grey's Anatomy, and not just because it features Katherine Heigl in one of her first primetime TV roles since her acrimonious departure from that series – if you don't remember State of Affairs, we don't blame you. Doubt really does come across like the courtroom equivalent of Grey's Anatomy. But while there's a slick, comfortable quality to the show right out of the gate, it doesn't do much to actually get viewers invested in its main characters. It's a series that could stand to to rethink its approach.
