The Apple TV+ limited series adaptation of "Presumed Innocent" brings a pulpy, old-fashioned feel to the classic courtroom drama genre. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the accused prosecutor, the show delves deep into his character and family dynamics before catapulting him into a murder trial. Filled with dramatic flourishes and over-the-top performances, the series takes its time to build suspense before reaching the courtroom scenes. Despite a talented cast, including Ruth Negga and Peter Sarsgaard, the show struggles with excessive melodrama and a lack of subtlety. While some viewers may find the excesses entertaining, others may feel that the series falls short in making a compelling case for investing in all eight episodes. With a twisty ending in store, the true verdict on "Presumed Innocent" remains to be seen.
