"Conviction", a new legal drama from Dick Wolf (‘Law & Order’-brand series), focuses on young assistant district attorneys in New York as they struggle with a demanding case load that challenges their lack of experience. Although this is not a spin-off of any "Law & Order" show, this show still takes place in that universe, proven by Stephanie March returning as ADA Bureau Chief Alex Cabot from "Law & Order: SVU".
YES ALEX CABOT RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

Well, that's interesting, but odd... isn't (in theory) Alex Cabot dead? She'll come back from the Witness Protection Program?

As far as I remember (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please), Alex was supposed to be dead, after she was shot on the street. The only ones that knew she was alive and going to WPP were Olivia and Elliot.
Then, she came back on season 6 and now everyone knows she's alive, but I understood she went back to WPP, with a second new identity, and Alex Cabot remained dead.

I've watched most of the episodes. I didn't really expect Alex to have a boyfriend or have been romantically involved with some people in her bureau. I especially liked the episode where Alex actually tries a case; she's good.  |

I've been watching regularly, and although I don't think it has reached it's potential yet, its only been 8 out of 13 episodes. Still some time left. My review for the latest episode: trublusvufan.livejournal.com/10825.html#cutid1And I also have a Conviction message board (PM me if interested) The character of Alex: Is she what we expected? Is she what we want? And how in the world did she get back from WPP?! |

I'm really dissapointed at how Alex has turned out... before, on SVU since we didn't know much about her, I was excited for Conviction because I thought it would let us see a new side to her, but after seeing all the episodes so far, she just seems like a b*tch... putting her career in front of the cases, having affairs, getting married to a guy she doesn't really love. I just feel like they ruined the character.
