Aramide Tinubu In Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent,” Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Chicago’s chief deputy prosecutor, Rusty Sabich. Based on Scott Turow’s 1987 novel of the same name, the show finds Rusty on trial for the gruesome murder of his colleague and lover, Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve). David E.
Kelley’s eight-part miniseries offers an entirely new and updated perspective, differentiating it from the 1990 film adaptation, which starred Harrison Ford. Many core elements remain the same, but this version isn’t riddled with the exhausting sexism that weighed down the film. Instead, the female characters, including Carolyn; Rusty’s wife, Barbara (an entrancing Ruth Negga); and his lead investigator, Det.
Alana Rodriguez (Nana Mensah), are depicted as three-dimensional and thoughtful women, all reeling from Rusty’s chaotic choices. While Ford’s take on Rusty was stoic, Gyllenhaal plays a desperate man unable to reconcile his damaging decisions with the image he’s presented to others. Entirely watchable, “Presumed Innocent” is one of the best legal thrillers to arrive on television in years.
The story opens on a picturesque day in the Windy City. Rusty and his teenage children, Kyle (Kingston Rumi Southwick) and Jaden (Chase Infiniti), are hanging out in the backyard. The sunny afternoon takes a turn when Rusty receives a call that Carolyn has been found bludgeoned to death.
Agitated, he relays the news to Barbara and then races to his dead lover’s apartment. Rusty’s life then unravels in ways neither he, his family, nor the audience could have anticipated. Since Carolyn and Rusty’s affair was a secret, District Attorney Raymond Horgan (Bill Camp) initially assigns Rusty the case.
