Review: ‘Accused’ puts a smart spin on crime with a different trial every week

At a time when roughly half of crime-movie ideas seemingly get stretched out to seven or eight episodes, “Accused” smartly goes in the opposite direction, presenting crisp little yarns in a single hour. While there’s a hit-miss element to that, the best entries in this Fox anthology series sustain suspense from beginning to end, while attracting top stars with its one-and-done approach.
