Presumed Innocent

This is an enjoyable season about a murder and the process gone through from start to finish to achieve "justice."

Jake Gyllenhaal plays prosecutor turned accused Rusty Sanich and does a stellar job of it. The series.focusses mainly on him and his family and other district attorneys.working out of the same office.

The story is compelling, though at times can be slow. I think an episode could have been cut out of the season as a lot of non-pertinent dialogue was used as a filler.

Overall though, I couldnt help but keep watching and saw the whole season in one sitting.

Has some interesting twists and turns - definitely recommend to any fans of crime and courtroom dramas.

Presumed Innocent starring Jake Gyllenhaal is a deft remake of an earlier version starring Harrison Ford. While I liked the Ford version, the extra complications built into the Gyllenhaal version delivers layers upon layers of intrigue. I'm confident the ending will supply the sort of twist we all enjoy.

I would have chosen Presumed Innocent to watch based solely on the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is in the cast. I have never been disappointed in a movie in which he has starred. I have Gyllenhaal on my list of best actors and would argue that accolade extends beyond this current generation. Good script or bad, Jake knows his stuff.

Presumed Innocent was as good as I expected it to be. I knew it would be good just based off the casting of Jake Gyllenhaal and add Peter Sarsgaard, Ruth Negga and a bunch of other good actors and you have the makings of a good show. Gyllenhaal delivers evert time he's in a movie or show and this is no different. On top of that it was created by David E. Kelley who had a pretty good reputation when it comes to crime dramas. This is an edge of your seat whodunit series that will keep you guessing who the killer is throughout the series. I've never seen the original film or read the book but I've read this version is distinctive fr'om those. While it may not be the best whodunit courtroom drama I've seen, it's definitely worth watching.

You should watch this show on Apple TV+ with Jake Gyllenhaal I never saw the 1990 movie with Harrison Ford, nor read the book, so it was all new to me. I was definitely entertained, wondering where it was all going to go week-by-week and I was (mostly) satisfied by the end. Jake has come a long way since "Donnie Darko" (an excellent movie, btw) and he does a great job here alternating between slimy and sincere, leaving us questioning his innocence. The supporting cast is terrific, especially Ruth Negga, great in everything she does ("Loving", "Passing", "Preacher") and an always excellent Peter Sarsgaard as the villain-y character.

I became aware of Jake G 20 years ago, except for maybe 2 of his films, since he became an adult, I have seen everything he's done, including his short stint off-broadway at the Roundabout Theatre; If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet!

This Man is Phenomenal. This series is a remake/retelling of a movie and it feels new!!! Bravo! I was waiting for him to go mainstream with a series!

Jake G. Just gets better with age. He looks up to his accomplished actor Sister Maggie, and I know she looks up to her brother.

I hope they do another movie together. Donnie Darko is still a classic, but they've both grown miles since then.

I'm watching the series, slowly, because it's a limited series and I want it to laaasst lol.
