Arrives June 12.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-part limited series starring and executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, hailing from David E. Kelley and executive producer J.J. Abrams. The star-studded ensemble cast also includes Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, Kingston Rumi Southwick and Elizabeth Marvel. Based on The New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Scott Turow, the gripping series takes viewers on a journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys' office when chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich (played by Gyllenhaal) is suspected of the crime. The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.

I read the book years ago and have seen the Harrison Ford film. It's a good story and somebody having another go at adapting it isn't the worst idea. My reservation is that they're stretching it out over too many episodes.

 

[Birdman]

Watched E3 yesterday, they're all excellent actors, well cast in their respective roles, but O-T Fagbenle stands out as the exceptionally smug new DA, Nico Della.

Up to date on this before the finale. Binged the whole lot. Really enjoying it. Hopefully a good finish to Season 1.

 

[Caranica]

Loved it. So many horrid characters.

Very good performances from Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard.

 

[Forgotten]

Just finished this. It was excellent. I assumed that having read the book and watched the 1990 film would spoiled this but I was wrong. It was very good indeed.
