Presunto Innocente

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.

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.

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.

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!

I'm T 🎬 and I hope you're day is full of peace and love and I love you all!

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.
