About

Defending Jacob Season 1 (2020) is released on Apr 24, 2020. Watch Defending Jacob online - the English Crime TV series from United States. Defending Jacob is directed by Morten Tyldum and created by Mark Bomback with Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery.

Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for over 20 years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife Laurie and son Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: His 14-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student. Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He's his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face his own trial: between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he's tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.

The show can drag a bit, but the performances are absolutely great.

The ambiguous ending to the eight-part series is a bit frustrating, but it sets the stage for a possible second season.

Approached as a crime drama, Defending Jacob might seem a little slow and underbaked, but as an ensemble character piece it hits the mark.
