What is Reasonable Doubt on Hulu about?
Reasonable Doubt centers around Jax, a high-powered criminal defense attorney who is known for her questionable ethics and wild interpretations of the law. Even though, she’s the most brilliant and fearless lawyer who “bucks the justice system” at every chance she gets, according to Hulu.
We’re also going to see Jax dealing with a failing marriage and the “pitfalls” of motherhood, TVLine reports. What will probably complicate her relationship with her husband is the fact that she becomes involved with ex-convict Damon.
The trailer reveals the complications in the lawyer’s personal life, at least one of the cases she’ll be working on, the relationship she starts with Damon, and what it all boils down to – Jax loves criminals. Be sure to check out the video below!
Hulu subscription plans include either a $6.99/month option with ads, or $12.99/month with no ads.
