Thought the miniseries was a little slow in places and could have been done in fewer episodes. I did enjoy Defending Jacob overall and Chris Evans and Cherry Jones were great in their respective roles. Big fan of Chris Evans ever since I saw Gifted. All and all, I thought the acting was pretty good. Jacob's personality as a 15 year old, came across as secretive and naive, or was he? Michelle Dockery did a good job on her American accent and expressing doubt about her son's innocence.
Why the writer changed the ending from the book puzzled me. From what other reviewers stated the book was excellent. Did the writer want to put his own spin on the story? Write your own book and let the original writer have his story told the way he wrote it.
