The funny thing about this Presumed Innocent is that there’s more sex, yet it’s far less sexy than the original.

It felt like a real dirty treat — glowering, moody, emotional shots of Chicago and everything seemed to be filmed, Peeping Tom-style, through a window, screen or behind a bush.

... The best thing about Presumed Innocent is how accurately it really does recreate the sensation of settling down in front of one of those long, tense, crackingly good Hollywood thrillers of 30-plus years ago.

It all adds up to a seductive ride that steadily turns up the heat after a slightly sluggish start.

Even if well done, it's been done...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 15, 2024

The increasingly prolific—and increasingly mediocre—Big Little Lies creator fumbles yet another all-star adaptation of a courtroom drama.

For all its late-season ridiculousness, wasted actors and a washed-out aesthetic that represents entirely too much of Apple TV+’s brand, I look forward to eventually watching the finale.

Though the story of a family man with a dark secret is a clichéd construct, this most recent version of Presumed Innocent is hoisted to new heights thanks to its cast.

Gyllenhaal and Negga are outstanding, showcasing relatability and struggle through a dynamically damaged relationship. Sarsgaard shines with his sleazy and sketchy portrayal, casting doubt and suspicion not only on himself, but several others around him.

But all [David E. Kelley] has to offer are tortured psychology and transgression, presented slickly and repetitively, with head-scratching surprises in place of new ideas. Meant to be provocative, it’s just wearying.

On a deeper level, this is a good show about what happens when someone is accused of something shocking.

This is rich territory to explore, and it does a terrific job of expanding Presumed Innocent well beyond the courtroom drama that, at core, it really is.

There’s an unmistakable ‘90s quality to the storytelling, but with an added layer of streaming era slickness, Presumed Innocent is designed to be savoured through the summer.

Given almost six hours to play with, instead of the movie’s two, Kelley and his cohorts use it wisely and thoughtfully to flesh out as many characters as possible, misdirect where they can and deepen the overall experience.

Presumed Innocent is a suspenseful thriller that will hook you from the first episode and leave you wanting more. Gyllenhaal's ability to skirt the line between likable and creep is key to making this series work.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 14, 2024

Ditches the gross self-implicating clichés from the earlier work, while making room for more women to be three-dimensional, especially Barbara, who is filled in by Ruth Negga with superhuman depth.

Jake Gyllenhaal lacks Harrison Ford’s gravitas...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 13, 2024

Presumed Innocent isn’t bad, per se, but it’s bland. The writing and performances feel as though they’re going through the motions.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 13, 2024

“Whodunnit” is a tried-and-true starting point, but even bawdy beach reads tend to have more to chew on than this.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Jun 13, 2024

Top-notch acting by the entire cast, especially Peter Sarsgaard who gives an award-quality performance as the dogged “bad guy” prosecutor, and Jake Gyllenhaal as the inscrutable protagonist/defendant.
