Defending Jacob is a series produced by Apple TV+, based on the book by William Landay with the same name. The series stars Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery, and Jaeden Martell. It premiered on April 24th, 2020, and its final episode of the first season was today, May 29th.
I had the distinguished honor of being on set when some of these scenes were being filmed, but I will try not to spoil anything, in case you want to watch it...(which I highly recommend that you do!).
The story follows the Barber family from Massachusetts as they deal with the possible accusation that their 14-year-old son may have murdered his fellow classmate.
Every week following the initial release of the first 3 episodes in the series, more information regarding the murder of Ben Rifkin are unveiled. But just when it seems like all ends are tied together, they hit you with another twist, making you question every action taken by each character. They all seem to know something regarding the case, but all fingers point to multiple people.
With the conclusion of the final episode, I have to say that I am quite impressed with how the story came to be. The story is outstanding and the performances by Chris Evans and his fellow co-stars is phenomenal. The character development is so intense that you don't really find yourself with any really strong connection to any one of the characters, which makes the whole viewing experience more enjoyable. Every episode left me on the edge of my seat, craving more. With that being said, I really hope they work towards a second season. It seems as if this could be a possibility, as the ending calls for a lot of unanswered questions.
I highly recommend spending a day or two binge watching the series and feel free to tell me your thoughts. It's worth the watch...even if it's just to watch Chris Evans be his handsome self ;)
