Presumed Innocent is by far the best drama series I have ever watched. Hands down. If you are anything like me and love a good thriller/murder mystery and haven’t yet seen it, I’m jealous. I would do anything to go back and rewatch it (yes it’s that good). I’ve linked the trailer below as well as some spoiler-free content highlighting what makes this show so special.
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, and Ruth Negga, Presumed Innocent tells the story of the prosecutor, Rusty Sabich. Though on the outside, he’s your average, good-looking, family man, there’s more to Rusty than what meets the eye. In this thrilling drama series, you’ll learn more about not just Rusty’s dark past, but his secret affair with his former co-worker, Carolyn Polhemus.
When Carolyn is found dead and her body is left tied up in her home, police immediately turn to their most loyal and trusted prosecuting attorney, Rusty Sabbich, to handle the case. Little do they know about Rusty’s infatuation and complex past with the victim.
Not only does his affair come to light, but so does his aggressive nature. Rusty’s friends and family see a new side of him as he tries to explain himself out of the persistent lies and betrayals, only making him appear more guilty.
From enemies in the office to an envious wife, Rusty earns himself a spot on everyone’s bad side, especially with the public.
However, despite all of his deep-rooted anger and violent snaps, Rusty knows the truth.
That’s all I’ll say for now since I can’t give it away, but I URGE you to watch this series if you haven’t yet! You can find it on Apple TV+. ENJOY!!!
