I've been watching Presumed Innocent. A fairly on the nose apple show. Jake Gyllenhall is two dimensional lawyer sort who makes bad decisions and gets stressed about it. He has a best friend who is a good actor and a wife who is a bad actor with whom he has no chemistry. Everyone keeps going on about how beautiful she is but she's just kinda alright? He's having an affair with his colleague! Who is also constantly called beautiful but is kind of alright. Anyway, Jake Gyllenhal is very stressed and continues to make bad decisions while the only good actor in the show gives lectures to him about being a good lawyer guy in the middle of his own case. The bad guy is a big sweaty greasy fella, who looks like he stinks and has murdered five people. But he's just Jake's rival! Who wants to get him because Jake is a cool lawyer guy who fucks. That's pretty much the whole show.
