Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

Inspired by Isaac Wright Jr., who actually did this — passed the bar while serving life, exonerated himself. Art barely exaggerates reality here.

Cultural

ABC's attempt at prestige drama during the 'inspired by true events' boom; cancellation after COVID-shortened S2 left fans stranded mid-case.
