seeing your son in such a dangerous
position obviously any parent would
fight to protect their kid at all costs
[Music]
defending Jacob tells the story of a
prosecutor who's fourteen-year-old son
is charged with the murder of a
classmate we have some bad news the
print we lifted from the victim's
sweatshirt
it's from your son wait what
it's tricky when you're trying to create
a miniseries because you want to make
sure episode has a strong engine and a
purpose there's got to be an explanation
I didn't do it I swear we begin to see
his family tested and she begins to
question everything if any doubts about
Jacob sent us no of course not it's all
about the family how they experience it
foundations rocked this is a lot of
trust issues a lot of guilt it kind of
opens all those doors
how well can you ever know anyone and I
think the show forces us to think about
those boundaries that exist for the
people we love once you open Pandora's
box
it's those scary corners you don't want
to explore it the twists and turns of
the thriller are fantastic but it's this
crisis of parenting that makes it unique
are you willing to do as a family how
well do we know our children how far are
you willing to go the interesting thing
about this show is that it's not shot as
a TV show it's shot like an 8 hour movie
I know you think you know Jacob but you
don't did he do this there's a
cliffhanger for every episode I can't
find a move
Jacob how's he doing what do you think
this is a joke I can't play this game
anymore
you
