Apple TV+ has released an eight-episode series adaptation of Scott Turow's 1987 novel 'Presumed Innocent'. The new series, created by David E. Kelley, features Jake Gyllenhaal taking over the role originally played by Harrison Ford in the 1990 film adaptation. The series has received mixed reviews, with some critics expressing disappointment in Kelley's adaptation. The show is noted for its contemporary themes, including an allegory for cancel culture. The series debuts today, and Western Pennsylvania native is among the cast. The adaptation also references the brilliance of the late Raul Julia and features Renate Reinsve in a role that has been criticized for its shallow treatment.
The biggest red herring in David E. Kelley's monotonous mystery is casting Renate Reinsve in the original film's most thankless role, only to give her the same shallow treatment yet again.
