Was season 1 “presumed innocent” worth it?
Collision Emma Kiely Hailed as a “winding and attractive legal thriller” in his review 9/10:
Gyllenhaal gives her most intense performance to dateAnd he could even be melodramatic if they were not a skilfully submitted support presence. Its rusty contrasts strongly with the cool and collected version of Ford, but it works for this approach to history. When Rusty de Gyllenhaal does not act violently, he still simmer, which makes the forecast difficult when he eventually boils.
