Review: Jake Gyllenhaal leads 'Presumed Innocent,' a stretched-out courtroom drama


A semi-erotic legal thriller, with the indefatigable David E. Kelley as showrunner, it's a limited series, though at eight episodes, perhaps not limited enough. This will complicate matters when District Attorney Raymond Horgan (Bill Camp), who is up for reelection, assigns Rusty to the case. Rusty's reputation as a prosecutorial sharpshooter notwithstanding, it seems clear to everyone, except Raymond, that this is not a good idea. For the most part, these scenes, which gain currency from this year of courtroom news, feel plausibly true to life. (It's not an unbelievable response — we've seen that she's arty — but references to aleatory music rarely appear in legal thrillers.
