Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent follows the story of Rusty Sabich, a Chicago city prosecutor and a family man who becomes the prime suspect of a colleague’s murder, with whom he had an affair. Where the film showed us this story in completely black and white, the series adaptation plays around in the greys and doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to prove anyone innocent. So, if you...

Episode one of Presumed Innocent ended with Tommy and Nico cornering Rusty about his involvement with Carolyn and possibly accusing him of tampering with the investigation of Carolyn’s murder. There was a possibility he was going to be named as a suspect, as his DNA was found in her apartment. Apart from that, Carolyn’s pregnancy threw everyone off, which made Tommy ask Rusty about the possibility of him having an affair with her.

Created by David. E. Kelly, co-produced by and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Presumed Innocent is a binge-worthy legal thriller. The series is loosely based on Scott Turow’s novel of the same name, which was previously adapted into a film featuring Harrison Ford. Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of Rusty Sabich introduces a perpetual sense of uncertainty with an untrustworthy protagonist at its core. As much as the audience would want to trust the chief deputy prosecutor, the more his secrets were revealed, the more dubious he seemed.
Presumed Innocent series begins with the police discovering Carolyn Polhemus’ body at her house, bludgeoned to death and tied up meticulously. The autopsy suggested that her death had been caused by three blows to her head. Rusty was in shock when he found out about the murder.

On paper, Presumed Innocent might sound like your standard courtroom thriller… but there’s no one you’d rather have writing one of those than David E. Kelley. The man has been cranking out quality TV legal dramas since the days of L.A. Law, and the mind behind Ally McBeal and The Practice delivers once again as writer and showrunner of this new Apple TV+ series, premiering this Wednesday. (I’ve seen seven of the eight episodes.) Kelley takes a familiar premise — one that’s quite similar to Paramount+’s far inferior Fatal Attraction remake, in fact — and spins it into a sturdy,...
