Hayley Atwell Snorts Cocaine in Trailer For New ABC Show CONVICTION
ABC had a deal in place with actress Hayley Atwell to star in a new show called Conviction before the network recently decided to cancel Agent Carter. So one can assume that some executive in charge of making major decisions at the company saw footage from the new show and liked it so much that they decided to officially kick Agent Carter to the curb. Now Conviction has its first trailer and we can decide for ourselves whether that seems like a fair trade.
Yikes. Looks like your typical generic case-of-the-week drama, and is it just me, or is anyone else getting a Serial (season 1) vibe from the story of the guy who supposedly killed his girlfriend? That podcast was far from the first time a situation like that came up, but I can't help but wonder if its popularity might have had some influence on that storyline. This isn't a show I would ever watch, but that probably means it'll end up being one of the most-watched shows on network television or something crazy like that. I obviously wish Atwell all the best, but it's a bummer that Agent Carter fans won't get to see her continue to kick ass in a beloved role she owned so well.
