    So much that's wrong about our current moment of TV, but the sheer number of 6-10 hour shows that should clearly be (and in the case of Presumed Innocent, actually was) a movie makes me sad. The expectation that we'll trudge through hour after unnecessary hour just because that's the business model.

    We all know that cable and streaming dramas have largely replaced the idea of the mid-budget movie for adults. But we get an especially literal, and mostly frustrating, example with Apple's elongated remake of Presumed Innocent, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. My review:

    So, finished Presumed Innocent (the series). Mixed feelings. Absolutely stellar work by every member of the cast. But the storytelling is all over the place and the courtroom scenes are excruciating. Some great moments, but overall it made me appreciate what the original book and movie did so well.

    It reminds me of the judge in the original Presumed Innocent movie shutting down a line of questioning saying “I don’t think we need to go into all this” because the judge himself was about to implicated by the witnesses answers.

    I tried watching Presumed Innocent (2024-) and everyone is just so awful. The infighting among the DA crew was a laugh but they were all douchebags anyway. I remember not a lot of likable characters in the movie either (actually I only remember Raul Julia as Harrison Ford’s lawyer in that movie).

    Finally getting around to Presumed Innocent the series. Big fan of the book and the Harrison Ford movie, a great unsung courtroom drama. One episode in and all’s I can say is I hope they don’t screw up the very good things they’ve got going. This could work! We’ll see.
