I keep in mind loving Presumed Harmless (the guide AND the 1990 film) so I went again and re-read and re-watched earlier than beginning the Apple TV collection. My full abstract of Presumed Harmless WITH SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING is right here.

What I found was an excellent underlying story, however it’s additionally been nearly 40 years. The guide has some dated forensic expertise and likewise dated concepts about gender, sexual orientation, and extra.

Every is hoping to be elected District Legal professional (within the guide, it’s referred to as Chief Prosecutor, and these phrases appear to be used interchangeably in Chicago, the place the collection takes place. The guide takes place in fictional Kindle county, Illinois.)

  • The election is imminent, and Horgan worries that Carolyn’s homicide will hurt his possibilities of holding onto his place.
  • Horgan (and his deputy, Rusty) and Della Guardia (and his quantity two, Tommy Molto) aren’t on nice phrases. Within the guide, Rusty has fired Della Guardia.
