aghst June 12 Share June 12 I watched the movie when it was available on video. One of the reasons I watched it was for Greta Scacchi. That brunette woman in one of the screenshots kind of looks like Greta Scacchi. Seems to be getting decent reviews so far but there are only like a half dozen reviews 1 Link to comment

Anela June 12 Share June 12 (edited) Are they going to have the same ending as the movie? Or a new one? Rhetorical question, since nobody can answer that. Edited June 12 by Anela 1 Link to comment
Cheezwiz June 16 Share June 16 Not sure if this story is going to work stretched out over multiple episodes. Curious to see if it will have the same ending as the original theatrical movie with Harrison Ford. 1 Link to comment
BetterButter July 12 Share July 12 ‘Presumed Innocent’ Renewed For Season 2 As It Becomes Apple TV+’s Most Watched Drama Series 1 Link to comment
aghst July 12 Share July 12 WTH ... A movie turned into a limited series is renewed. And there's so much fat in this season, with Barbara's affair and Rusty playing private investigator going around beating up perps. So are they going to end this in a cliffhanger? Which are the worst renewals? Big Lies? Hijack? Presumed Innocent? 1 Link to comment

And there's so much fat in this season, with Yeah, I think I'm out, unless I'm in the mood to binge in the future. I've just been reading posts, waiting for the season to end, and now they're going to stretch it out. Edited July 12 by Anela Link to comment
aghst July 12 Share July 12 OK, so it's going to be a new unrelated case. So they will wrap up this case in the next two episodes. They may be rebooting the brand to a general murder trial show, the way Tom Cruise rebooted Mission Impossible show into whatever it is now, which is nothing like the old TV show. 2 Link to comment
aghst July 24 Share July 24 OK they wrapped it all up mostly. It's possible they could bring some of the cast back in future seasons, depending on how long the show lasts. I'll hold off on making more specific comments about the finale. Obviously they padded a couple of episodes to produce 8 episodes, all well under an hour each. Honestly this could have been a movie reboot but Apple probably wanted a series and they got ratings to justify trying to make this some kind of anthology. 1 Link to comment

When you do, please remember to make them in the episode thread for the finale. Not everyone is watching as it comes out, and it would be reasonable to think one could read this "general" thread without major spoilers. Thanks! 1 Link to comment

BetterButter October 29 Share October 29 ‘Presumed Innocent’ To Leave Scott Turow Universe In Season 2 With ‘Dissection Of A Murder’ As Source Material & New Female Lead Link to comment
aghst October 29 Share October 29 Sounds like they haven't cast anyone but mainly secured rights to the source material. They had a lead who had never done TV shows before along with very good supporting cast. It's probably going to come down to casting more than some relatively unknown book as the source material to sustain the popularity of the show from the first season. Link to comment
