Presumed Innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal's performance is so powerful, I feel as if it is happening to me. He is just unraveling in this world and absolutely getting shredded apart. I absolutely do not agree with half of his actions but I still am wanting him to fight for his life.

And let's not forget his counter part Peter Saarsgard's Monroe. He is just the perfect villain just oozing vileness. Everything he says just shoves pain and vitriole right in Jakes face without letting up, making it hard to even breathe.

Everyone seems genuine and the dialogue is unrelenting. Just an amazing show. My heart is still pumping.

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.

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.

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.

My wife and I binge watched the series and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. A stellar line up, led amazingly well by Jake Gyllenhal. All the actors played their roles tremendously. From the loathsome Tommy Molto to the amiable Ray, and the wife (Ruth Negga just brilliant) and kids were fabulous. The storyline was gripping and for once neither I or my detective wife did not see the twist coming. We were glad to see a conclusion, albeit unexpected. But it was so well done that it gave the perfect end to the series. I would go as far to say this is a must see series. Certainly one that I cannot recommend highly enough.
