## Synopsis

Reasonable Doubt (2022-present) is an American legal drama series created by Raamla Mohamed for Hulu. Emayatzy Corinealdi plays Jax Stewart, a brilliant and fearless defense attorney in Los Angeles who bends the rules of the justice system at every opportunity, and the series invites viewers to judge her questionable ethics until she finds herself in serious trouble. McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo, and Angela Grovey fill out the principal cast around her. Each season follows her caseload of high-stakes defenses alongside a serialized personal storyline that keeps the legal battles and her own danger tightly intertwined. The series runs four seasons so far, with ten episodes in most of them, and builds its tension through courtroom maneuvering, backroom deals, and the moral gray areas of big-city litigation. Its tone is gritty, tense, and cynical, with a sharp eye for how the legal system can be gamed. Fans of Better Call Saul, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Good Wife will find a similar appetite for flawed legal brilliance and courtroom intrigue.
