In difesa di Jacob

The topic is not novel, similar productions have been before (usually pondering on and over the guilt of a spouse), but a mix of procedural and family drama as here is somewhat more interesting to follow. The performances are solid (all leading ones), but the clues and insinuations revealed step-by-step can be meaningful for viewers, but not from the point of view of active criminal investigation. So the plot got stuck for me in several places and I started involuntary comparisons with topical Danish series where distress and doubts are presented in a more thrilling manner.

PS I have not read the book, but as mothers tend to defend their sons to very end, the events in the last episode are not too realistic...

I like the start of this show, have watchee a few episodes but its catchy, great storyline, great acting and the characters are just fit for the story. Dont hesitate to give it a try

The last episode, matters a lot, if not most, in any series. If you ruin it, you ruin the whole series. "Defending Jacob" did the same. A lot of things went quick in the last episode, and rest of the episodes in series move slower than my gradma. If the finale was good, I would have rated it 8. I'm sorry.

It's good, but there is just so. much. filler. Especially the last four episodes could have been 10 minutes each and nothing of importance would have been missed. Also, the character of Lori is completely useless and watching her do nothing for minutes on end is agonizing at times.

Enjoyed the series. Kept me gripped. Thought the cast were brilliant.
