Presumed Innocent

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.

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.

It begins like a typical thriller or detective series, but it quickly distinguishes itself with each successive episode. Initially, it seems straightforward, but the intrigue deepens, and the complexity of the main character unravels in fascinating ways. Just when you think the protagonist couldn't be any more suspicious, the plot introduces more layers of doubt and mistrust.

This series expertly keeps you on edge, making you question the main character's innocence repeatedly. The storyline is crafted to push boundaries, making you believe that the character has hit rock bottom, only to reveal yet another twist that makes you reconsider everything. While it shares some similarities with other films and series in its genre, It has a unique quality that sets it apart, making it a must-watch.

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.

RATING - 9.0🍿

This show follows a prosecuting attorney through an affair in which the woman is murdered and all signs point to him. The series goes through the case and how he defends himself against the evidence and there is a twist to every episode.

I give this watch 9.0 bags of 🍿 as it's the best show I've seen all summer. Great acting and the overall plot and story is a banger. You'll be guessing the whole time and every episode ends with a twist that will leave you saying one more episode. Yes I advise anyone to watch this one!
