Presumed Innocent TV review — Jake Gyllenhaal goes deeper and darker in remake of the legal drama

The crime is gruesome, the evidence compelling, the motive credible. The only thing in the defence’s favour is that they have one of Chicago’s finest legal minds in the courtroom. The trouble is, he’s the one accused of murder. The trial and many tribulations of Rusty Sabich play out in Presumed Innocent, Apple’s knotty new mini-series about a leading criminal lawyer charged with the killing of his colleague-turned-lover.

Where Ford played Rusty with his usual brand of cantankerous charisma, Gyllenhaal goes deeper and darker here as the erstwhile forensic prosecutor becomes an increasingly desperate, erratic defendant. Is he overcome by guilt or frustrated innocence? His subtle performance lets us see both. Part of Rusty’s torment is knowing that the prosecutors are right to identify him as the suspect.
