Story

The TV remake "Presumed Innocent" on Apple TV+ features Jake Gyllenhaal as Rusty Sabich, a prosecutor accused of murder. The show, produced by JJ Abrams and showrun by David E Kelley, delves into Rusty's personal life and legal battles, with twists and elongated therapy scenes. The plot includes high-octane absurdities and a focus on the Sabich family dynamics. Despite Gyllenhaal's performance, Rusty's narcissism may make viewers indifferent to his fate.
