The Divide, a 2014 legal drama series from WE tv, centers around the complex and often murky world of criminal justice in the United States. The show follows a team of lawyers working at the Innocence Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals.

Led by Christina Rosa (played by Marin Ireland), a talented attorney with a passion for justice, the team takes on new cases each episode, working to uncover evidence that will prove their clients' innocence. The show also explores the personal lives of the lawyers and the impact their work has on their relationships and mental health.

One of the key themes in The Divide is the inherent flaws in the American criminal justice system. The show highlights issues such as police corruption, racial bias, and the pressures prosecutors face to secure convictions, even if it means manipulating evidence or cutting corners. The Innocence Initiative lawyers are often up against a system that seems rigged against their clients, and they must use all their skills and resources to navigate the legal labyrinth and uncover the truth.

The show's main antagonist is District Attorney Adam Page (played by Damon Gupton), a charismatic and ambitious prosecutor who will stop at nothing to win his cases. Page represents the very system the Innocence Initiative is fighting against, and he often resorts to unethical tactics to secure convictions. He is constantly at odds with Christina and her colleagues, who view him as an obstacle to justice.

The show also has a diverse cast of supporting characters, each with their own stories and motivations. Paul Schneider plays Clark Rylance, a newspaper reporter who becomes obsessed with one of the cases the Innocence Initiative is working on. Nia Long plays Billie Page, Adam's estranged wife and a defense lawyer who frequently goes head-to-head with her ex-husband in court. Clarke Peters portrays Isaiah Page, Adam's father and a former civil rights activist who has become disillusioned with the state of the justice system. Joe Anderson plays Danny, a troubled man who becomes involved with the Innocence Initiative after being wrongfully accused of a crime.

The Divide is a beautifully shot and well-acted drama that tackles important issues with intelligence and nuance. It doesn't shy away from the complexity of the American legal system and the moral dilemmas faced by those who work within it. The show's moral ambiguity and emotional intensity make it a compelling watch for fans of legal dramas like The Practice or The Good Wife.

In summary, The Divide is a gripping legal drama that explores the flawed and often corrupt American criminal justice system. With a talented cast and thought-provoking themes, it is a must-watch for fans of the genre.

The Divide is a series that ran for 1 seasons (8 episodes) between July 16, 2014 and on We tv
