Season 1, Episode 13 – By finally featuring a central case that’s largely background noise, “Past, Prologue and What’s to Come” manages to show off a level of both series’ continuity and character development that Conviction had not previously achieved. If only the other 12 episodes had been this good.

Season 1, Episode 12 – On this week’s Conviction, the CIU team must investigate the case of a terrorism suspect who’s been held for six years without trial. But the real drama on this week’s episode comes from the fact that we finally meet Hayes’ father, former President Morrison.

Season 1, Episode 11 – As Hayes and Wallace attempt to make a real go of things romantically, the CIU team is drawn in to an active crime investigation. Another murder has taken place which fits the pattern of the infamous Black Orchid serial killer. Is the man the system put behind bars for the crime actually innocent, or is a copycat on the loose?

Season 1, Episode 10 – Hayes and the CIU team tackle a controversial case involving a girl serving a life sentence for murdering a college basketball star she accused of raping her. Elsewhere, Hayes and Wallace attempt to figure out there out their relationship status, while Tess finally comes clean to the man she sent to prison.

Season 1, Episode 9 – Hayes, Wallace and the CIU team must race against the clock to determine whether a death row inmate is actually guilty before his execution. The case, and its outcome, have emotional ramifications for everyone, but most especially Hayes and Wallace.

Season 1, Episode 7. This week, the Conviction team re-opens the case of a man with diminished capacities convicted of arson, as documentary team films their investigation. For a show that loves to be controversial, this episode really doesn’t have much to say.

Season 1, Episode 6 – The accidental death of an African-American boy, shot by a cop, sparks a racial firestorm and leads Hayes and her team to re-examine a controversial case. The best part of this episode is honestly that Hayes herself is in so little of it – and several secondary characters, particularly Merrin Dungey’s Maxine are given a chance to shine.

Season 1, Episode 5 – Fallout from her shocking interview has the CIU investigating a case that pits the haves vs. the have-nots, as Hayes attempts to make amends to her mother, Jackson and Wallace. If we all just accept that this show is a soap opera instead of a serious drama, it’s kind of fun.

Season 1, Episode 4 – The CIU team must investigate the case of a woman who went to prison for poisoning her own son on this week’s Conviction, as Hayes must face the music for her recent transgressions on national television. A somewhat unremarkable episode, but it’s much more solid than last week.

Season 1, Episode 3 – The third episode of legal drama Conviction does some of its best character work yet, as the CIU team divides over a case involving a controversial and disturbing defendant. If you can ignore the incredibly contrived ending to this week’s case-of-the-week plot, it’s probably the show’s most intense episode to date.

Season 1, Episode 1 – Agent Carter’s Hayley Atwell does her best in ABC’s new series Conviction, but this legal drama is going to need a few weeks to find its feet.
