The Whole Truth tries to do exactly that; it's a legal drama telling both sides of a story until you know the whole truth. In the pilot we see a case from the prosecution's perspective, the defense's angle, then we witness the trial. And even though we hear the jury's verdict, we still have doubt until the last second of the show.
Truth is fast moving, well written, produced and acted. Rob Morrow (Numbers, Northern Exposure) seems to have a hit every time he gets in front of a camera and he's done it again with this new drama. His maverick character is the most lovable lawyer since Denny Crane.
The Whole Truth looks like a seasoned, successful show already.
A winner for ABC!
This looks like my one miss of the year. Up against really tough competition Truth is dieing in the ratings.
ReplyDeleteThe saddest part for ABC is that this is their best new show. Move it to a better time slot and it still has a chance.
