Critics Consensus

Enlivened by an outstanding ensemble, Presumed Innocent isn't guilty of upstaging the original movie but acquits itself well as an entertaining courtroom drama.

There are plenty of twists and turns, and Gyllenhaal is a sturdy anchor holding it all together, aided by one of the more enviable casts on TV right now.

Presumed Innocent is a fun, lurid, flawed, addictive whodunnit.

Clocking in at eight episodes, “Presumed Innocent” is yet another streaming miniseries that blithely glides past the “mini,” seemingly indifferent to the value of narrative concision while focused instead on creating a broody atmosphere.

[Presumed Innocent] is well worth watching, even for those familiar with the 1990 Harrison Ford film. A gripping miniseries from the creator of Big Little Lies that keeps viewers on edge. [Full Review in Spanish]

Presumed Innocent's dedication to questioning the content of character as its main focus, rather than offering several red herrings to different characters that a traditional murder mystery would offer... offers a more layered mystery.

This was very entertaining and kept my attention. Many things would not have happened in real life so I subtracted a star but still worth the watch.

I picked DA Molto, but I was wrong

The suspense and courtroom scenes were fantastic, but revealing the daughter as the killer felt totally illogical and came completely out of left field.

Great show that doesn’t turn upside down til the last 10 minutes. Great plot twist and amazing acting from the cast.

The acting is superb, very emotionally anchored. There are some stipulated circumstances the show dances around that would make it a clear cut case, but other than that, this was an excellent story of law and romance.

I watched it on my flight home and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. During my layover getting back to finish the season was all i thought about. It’s so good at convincing you it’s someone then twisting it in someone else over and over. All of the actors were amazing and the emotions felt so real. There were so many small things that just added to the story and you can tell they thought it all out.
