Episode 1: Can't Knock The Hustle

Summary

Jax Stewart, a brilliant and fearless defense attorney in LA, juggles work, family, friends, and a complicated personal life while bucking the justice system every chance she gets as she's faced with a potential high-profile client.

Review

Emayatzy Corinealdi announces herself as a formidable lead actor with Reasonable Doubt, a legal drama new to Disney Plus. Executive produced by Kerry Washington (who also directs the first episode), the show has elements of the series that made Washington’s name, Scandal (also available to watch on Disney Plus). Here’s another tangle of schemes, sex and high-stakes cases, set in Los Angeles, where criminal defence attorney Jax (Corinealdi) may have developed too much of an affinity with her potentially dangerous clients.

When her marriage fails and she has the chance to become as freewheeling in her personal life as she is in the courtroom, it doesn’t just complicate her standing as a parent and as a member of a group of supportive friends – it means the show goes to places that would make most legal dramas blush.
