I finished Conviction and it wasn’t the worst show

#okay so... i feel like it gets a bad rap from what i've seen? #it was finding its legs - it only had 12 eps - which is normal for any tv show i feel like #and even my biggest gripe which is ofc the failure to use ms. stephanie march as much as she deserved #might have been rectified later on #re: alex cabot's character i also feel like i might be in the minority here but? given the timeline #e.g. her just being back from witness protection #everything erratic about her character #especially her swinging from risky (her affair with mr. season 2 discovery captain man) #to absolutely straight laced and expected (her getting engaged in the MOST heteronormative way; her coloring inside the lines in her job) #makes absolute sense #my biggest gripe re: that is that it's subtext #but again if had gone on longer the storytelling would probably have compensated for the apparently last minute decision #to throw stephanie march into the mix #and her background would have come more into play #bc how could it not have? we KNOW her #presumably the reason they threw her in at all was bc she was such a successful character on svu #i didn't even still hate all the white men by the end (except frankie rizzoli sorry bud) #and even though it's just. unapologetically a mid-late 2000s show with all the bells and whistles #with - to be fair - kinda sus and/or too-earnest politics and talking points #i didn't... hate it... #amy watches conviction (and it's a mistake) #(or... was it?)
