Jake Gyllenhaal leads Apple TV+'s perfectly adequate thriller

When The Lincoln Lawyer debuted in 2022 on Netflix , The A.V. Club ’s review stated series creator David E. Kelley would milk the legal thriller genre for all its worth, no matter the quality. Since then, he’s worked on Anatomy Of A Scandal, ABC’s unaired Avalon , true-crime drama Love & Death, The Lincoln Lawyer season two, and, most recently, Netflix ’s A Man In Full. Whew. Now he’s spearheading a new drama with Jake Gyllenhaal as the star.

Their emotional interactions give Presumed Innocent the heft it needs to escape from its otherwise generic identity. In the process, Gyllenhaal and Negga deliver excellent, all-encompassing work. He’s aptly cast as the role requires him to be both winsome and shadowy so the audience is constantly guessing his motivations and actions. Gyllenhaal switches from mania to despair, playing coy well with the camera on him. It’s nowhere near his best performance , but he’s evocative.
