AppleTV+, the (relatively) new stream service from Apple came out of the gate with several shows. Jason Mamoa’s See, M. Night Shymalan’s The Servant, and Ronald D. Moore’s For All Mankind to name a few. Then… they had a gap in major, big production serialized narrative programming. They’ve had the banner up for Defending Jacob for months, and since anything with Captain America’s (Chris Evans) picture gets our attention, we decided to check it out.

We’re fans of the actors and the genre. What we found was a slowly burning thriller that focused on a small cast of characters (or suspects?). Listen in as we discuss what we liked, what we thought could have been different. You’ll have to stick around until the end to hear our guesses on who actually committed the murder!

We ask questions like:

• Andy had to tell a secret in these first 3 episodes. Are there more coming?


• Michelle Dockery and Chris Evans are great actors, but do they have chemistry on screen together?


• Finally, Why is Andy (Chris Evans) answering questions in front of the grand jury?

We discuss these questions and MORE in our continuing coverage of Defending Jacob. Look for our coverage of episode 4 later this week!
