Does The Presumed Innocent Ending Go Far Enough?
The TV Adaptation Departs From The Book
It ’s worth noting thatPresumed Innocentbreaks away from the Scott Turrow novel of the same name , which it accommodate . In the novel , it ’s Rusty ’s married woman who is shamed of the murder . The Apple TV+ show seems headed in this counseling too , with Rusty confessing that he tampered with Carolyn ’s slaying picture after the fact and shit it to protect his married woman Barbara ( Ruth Negga ) . For her part , Barbara is horrified by this .
Presumed Innocentwas also conform into a 1990 movie , with Harrison Ford as Rusty , which match the script ’s ending .
Giving one of the best performances ofthePresumed Innocentcast , Negga keeps Barbara ’s terrified grammatical construction when Jaden confess to the murder and Rusty embraces her . It ’s an understandable pulse for each case . Still , the Apple TV+ series , which is the streamer ’s most - watched to date , could have gone even further in underscore the erosive Sabich sept kinetics by let in Rusty ’s son Kyle ( Kingston Rumi Southwick ) . It would have been a stronger point , albeit still puddle , about how far the kinfolk run low to save something that was intelligibly stop .

That sentiment shines through in the closing curtain ’s last scene . The Sabich family is enjoying a meal all together , with Rusty and Barbara share-out what seems to be a smile . It gestures at a larger stop , though that gunpoint is perhaps less powerful than it could be , because the conniption that reveals Jaden as the orca does n’t feel quite garner and believable . Still , asPresumed Innocentseason 2is confirmed , it is an interesting endeavor to break aside from the source material .
