As an important piece in the strategy of Apple TV, who challenges the Netflix and Amazon Prime with multiple themes and original quality, Defending Jacob, which has just been released on April 24, has updated 3 episodes (a total of 8 episodes), so far it is undoubtedly remarkable. Defending Jacob is full of texture and the piano and string music, plus Chris Evans of the US team, Michelle Dockery of Miss Donton Manor, and the already-experienced child star Jaeden Martell's three-person family. Defending Jacob is worth enough without considering the highly acclaimed original story and suspicious elements. The current score of Defending Jacob is 8.9 may fall back to a lower position after more people have watched it, but at least it proves that the audience who are currently acquainted with the whole work are well received.

The first three episodes in Defending Jacob are all dressed up with the prosecutor Neal confronting the protagonist Andy's hearing scene, constantly reviewing the story of Andy and his wife Laurie after discovering that his young son Jacob was accused of murdering classmate Ben 10 months ago. Back to Andy's perspective at the hearing. During the three episodes, we have no idea about whether Jacob is a murderer. Jacob has no idea what he is thinking. He can only tolerate curiosity and follow the slow rhythm to experience everything that Andy and Laurie have experienced: in the town The eyes of others, the distance of colleagues and friends, the media's incessant pursuit, and their torture of themselves, each other, and even their doubts about whether their son is really a murderer. Such suspicion is stinging. When Laurie told the counselor "A mother knows her child. I know what he's capable of, what he isn't." Jacob, who flashed in the middle, was tortured in the bowling alley when he was trying to use the bowling ball to smash the head of the playmate-"My child, is he really innocent?"

In the Defending Jacob first three episodes, the portrayal of the human nature of the outside world of the three-person family is also worthy of attention. For example, even in the United States, which defaults to the presumption of innocence, people are still rumored and malicious, the eyes of idlers in restaurants, school children ’s irresponsible social network speeches, and even fan pages born on the Internet for Jacob , Is undoubtedly a great satire on human nature.

In the next five episodes of Defending Jacob, the direction of the suspense will be pushed to a climax and gradually become clear. The current guess is that the murderer is not Jacob but Leonard Patz, who was previously arrested as a suspect and released, with several shots showing him The evil hidden under the innocent expression and his cell phone full of Ben photos.

But maybe, this is just a tactic that the screenwriter tried to lead us to, we'll wait and see.
