Jake Gyllenhaal Is Endlessly Watchable in Apple TV+’s Brilliant ‘Presumed Innocent’ Adaptation: TV Review


In Apple TV+'s updated take on 'Presumed Innocent,' Jake Gyllenhaal is a man grappling with the fallout of his choices and the image he's cultivated.

So often on-screen, wives and children are showcased as footnotes in male characters’ lives, but here, Rusty’s family is intricately woven into the story as the ones most affected by his arrogance and selfishness. From Barbara’s therapy sessions with her psychologist, Dr. Liz Rush (Lily Rabe), to the Sabich teens’ reactions to and understanding of their father’s lies, the series’ breathability gives it a haunting realism. Additionally, Kelley, a master at writing legal dramas, unpacks the baroque politics of a prosecuting attorney’s office and how they factor into the investigation of Carolyn’s killing and Rusty’s trial.
