"Series star Emayatzy Corinealdi is warmly enthusiastic as we chat down the hall from the courtroom she commands with cool, instinctive ease (and impeccable style) as criminal defense attorney Jax Stewart. At one point, Corinealdi saw herself becoming a lawyer, not just playing one - but if the show has taught her anything, it's that the job is a tricky one. "I'm just this type of person [who thinks] either you're right or you're wrong," she says. "Period! But that's actually not how it works.""
"Reasonable Doubt lives in that gray area. Set in Los Angeles, each season follows a high-profile case, defended by Jax - its third outing (out now) follows Ozzie Edwards, a child star-turned-leading man who's accused of murder. But like the show's title implies, it doesn't take a neat and tidy approach to justice. In place of "aha!" discoveries and courtroom victories, verdicts are often deflating reminders that Jax - and the people she serves - must sometimes pursue more creative methods of restitution."
Emayatzy Corinealdi portrays Jax Stewart, a criminal defense attorney who commands the courtroom with cool, instinctive ease and impeccable style. Corinealdi initially envisioned becoming a lawyer but learned the work's complexity through the role. The series is set in Los Angeles and each season follows a high-profile case; season three centers on Ozzie Edwards, a former child star accused of murder. The show emphasizes moral gray areas, with verdicts that often require creative restitution rather than straightforward triumphs. Jax balances demanding legal work with motherhood and a strained marriage, and her flaws make her human.
