Uma série realmente admirável e que prende a atenção,Em defesa de Jacob foi algo que realmente me fez ficar surpreso com o final,boas atuações,destacando a de Jaeden martell que foi realmente admirável dando vida ao personagem, cenário tenso,conflitos e diálogos fortes e um bom enredo,recomendo muito essa série.

This is a story about a family that is tested brutally after a murder investigation turns up the son as the primary suspect. Through superb acting, writing and directions we are asked the question: how do secrets affect you and the people closest to you, are you still a family when you tell a direct lie to the other two in each episode, always under different pressures and for reasons that might seem good at a time.

I was hooked from the first episode. I think it has some good twists and great acting. It kept me wanted more each episode.

A heartbreaking, emotionally difficult picture. But just as beautiful. The story captures so much that it is impossible to break away. And events give a reason to ask questions to yourself. Applause, it's incredible..

Me gustó mucho esta serie, la trama y la actuación de Cris Evans. Me gustaría que haya una segunda temporada pero es una miniserie.

This Miniseries is very good. Actually one of the best I‘ve ever seen! It is a very gripping family drama with some twists I did not have seen coming. I would wish to see a second season! Definitely a recommendation!!

This is honestly one of if not the best TV show I’ve seen recently. The acting is great, especially Chris Evans, who proves he can do more than just throw a shield, the production value is stellar and it draws from an amazing source material, the novel of the same name. It follows Jacob, a 14 year old boy played by It star Jaedan Martell, who is accused of murder. The writing and the pacing are top class. If the other Apple TV shows are anything like this than I’m extremely happy that I got this subscription.

Le fils du procureur est soupçonné du meurtre, à savoir l’un des camarades de classe de l’ado en question : est-ce une calomnie, une cabale montée de toutes pièces ou le fiston du brillant procureur est-il un vilain psychopathe ? Ses parents neuneus vont tout faire pour le défendre et c’est donc parti pour une série procédurière à procès à la mords-moi-le-noeud : idéal pour pioncer dès le premier épisode et en vérité, ça ne rate pas : avant la fin du premier épisode, on ronfle à faire trembler les fondations ! Les comédiesn jouent mal, c’est mal écrit, invraisemblable et tout foireux ; la mise en scène est endormie tout comme cette pseudo-intrigue à chier debout ! une série indéfendable dont le verdict tombe net et sans bavure : direction la poubelle !

While the performances are strong (although Martel has the sullen teenager played to the extreme), this is a five hours too long. Not sure why the raves since I fast forwarded way more than I would have expected.

great performance by main actors and unpredictable plot twists. so i don't understand why critics are so stupid to recognise what it's perfect

Chris Evans plays a successful assistant district attorney, whose life is upended when his son (Jaeden Martell) is accused of murder. The pursuit of an alternate killer isn't the show's primary focus. Instead, it revolves around the family's traumas dealing with this life-changing allegation and the parent's lingering doubts about their son's innocence. Evans makes a stalwart dad and Michelle Dockery plays an effectively shaken mother, but it's Martell whose performance is the most nuanced. Despite the compelling premise, the interactions are heavy without being especially moving. Unlike the traditional streaming service model, this series is being released weekly and won't wrap up til May 29. I'll stick with it, but it's extended length and plodding plot developments provide this somber drama with scant empathy. (8 one-hour episodes)
