Defending Jacob comes close to being good, but it relies too heavily on melodrama and never delivers the emotion the heavy subject matter deserves.
April 13, 2020
The worst thing about Apple TV+'s new limited series Defending Jacob is that it feels like every other crime series we've seen before.

An exceptionally enthralling ride filled with tense scenes, astounding performances, well-written characters, and an unpredictable outcome!

Chris Evans does some of the best work of his career as Andy... He expertly conveys Andy's desperate, ferocious need to protect his son, his genuine love for his wife - and the haunting memories that jolt him awake in the middle of the night.

Defending Jacob is a clever little thriller. It boasts the slickness that Apple originals have come to be defined by, but sadly, the service still hasn't found that one piece of programming that it can flash as its calling card.

"Defending Jacob" has great ingredients, but the portion size is off.
April 22, 2020
For a show so devoted to stringing you along for answers, "Defending Jacob" doesn't leave you with much once it's over.
April 14, 2020
All the ingredients are in place to make Defending Jacob one of the year's best shows. Instead it's an average outing into an already crowded medium. And that's kind of indefensible.

The high-profile names involved and impressive production are what really separate it from your standard basic cable crime dramas and not necessarily the content itself.
April 23, 2020
Well cast and twisty, it's an earnest if mostly undistinguished effort, one that relies heavily on the one-time Avenger's star power in serving its mission to bring viewers to Apple TV+.

You've seen it before, perhaps, but don't let that stop you. "Defending Jacob..." is gripping enough in its own way, despite some of the familiar moves, and the acting is consistently fine.
