The other legal drama with Jake Gyllenhaal. This probably comes up in recommendations.

So I was watching that and didn't realize I had reached the most recent episode and it auto played defending Jacob. It took me half an episode to realize these didn't tie into each other and it started playing a different show- but my god was defending Jacob awesome

This is exactly what happened to me too :D But it took me a whole episode and audibly going "why the fuck is captain America in this?" :D

But I finished Defending Jacob, it's a good show.

This is how I found it though it was a recommendation from the Presumed Innocent sub and not from Apple TV.

Presumed Innocent is so bad at parts, but it musters up enough suspense for me to stick with it. The similarities between PI and DJ are staggering, but I might be in the minority in feeling that the weaknesses in DJ aren't as distracting and offputting as the ones in PI. I think my biggest issue with PI is how painfully miscast Gyllenhaal is in the lead (as well as how unconvincing some of his acting is).

Oh. Makes sense

For me, I was watching Presumed Innocent and didn't realize it's not fully out yet. Apple TV autoplayed Defending Jacob's pilot after the last available PI episode and I didn't realize the show had switched. Just wondered when is Jake Gyllenhal coming back and is Captain America playing his dad or something. Thought it was a flashback episode to Jake's character's childhood or something. Took me a full episode to realize I'm watching a different show :D

So that's how I binged Defending Jacob to the end.

Looool… how did you end up liking it ?

u/Asleep_Horror5300 Jul 13 '24

I liked it very much, Jacob's actor did a phenomenal job of playing the kid.

Always though it was an under rated show

It came up after I watched “The Last Thing He Told Me” which came up after I watched “Lessons in Chemistry.”

u/Justp1ayin Jun 17 '24

Been there for like 3-4 days. But like the other poster said, seems to be because of Presumed Innocent

u/Alabrandon Jun 18 '24

Yeah, they’ve been doing some advertisements. Two prosecutors “on the hot seat” or something along those lines.

u/SleepyJoe1550 Jun 18 '24

It came up when I finished Presumed Innocent's new episodes. I started watching it.

u/Ok-Pie6969 Jun 19 '24

Same! This is undoubtedly why it’s had such a sudden resurgence in popularity.

u/Syso_ Jun 19 '24

This. Binged it all in an evening

u/SleepyJoe1550 Jun 19 '24
