| Compelling premise, great delivery

Knowing the plot is based on a real life story, it is compelling to see how the storyline develops in season 1, and the more fictionalized season 2 closes the loop on many stories from the original season. A great cast and credible acting brings home a powerful and some times disturbing picture of the justice system.

Trivia

The series is loosely based on the true story of Isaac Wright Jr., who was imprisoned for a crime that he did not commit. While incarcerated, he became a licensed paralegal and helped to overturn the wrongful convictions of twenty of his fellow inmates, before finally proving his own innocence.
