Reasonable Doubt (2022– )
3/10
Main Character is Sorta Awful

Warning: Spoilers
The main character Jax is honestly so unlikable and there is a weird tone throughout. I couldn't get past the first episode. Her husband put security cameras throughout the whole house that she knows are there even though they have split up. He sits and watches her constantly which the show acts like is normal and not weird at all, while framing the husband as the nice normal, rational one. The characters also act like they are constantly on a Tinder date in the "hip edgy" way the script is written.

The show feels like it was trying to be empowering to women but did that by making the most characterless female lead I have seen in a long time. In the first episode they reference an ultimatum that her husband had given her to choose her family or her job, and she obviously picked her job, but she continues on to hookup with the body guard in front of the cameras on purpose, and act like everyone around her is awful and beneath her. The worst part is all these people that we are supposed to dislike are all pretty decent people. I felt like I was supposed to be rooting for Jax but honestly disliked her the most. She is supposed to be this badass criminal lawyer but is really just a twisted mess.
