Thank you for the photos, interviews (print and video). I watched the first three episodes not really knowing what I was getting into, I have not read the book. The music, the dynamics of the family and community sucked me in. I really felt the emotions of these characters were spot on. As a mother, I could feel every emotion of Michelle's character. Jaeden's performance was amazing. Spot on 14 year old boy and yet there is this under current. I loved how I went through the emotions of yes, he did it, to no, it's the pedifile, to wondering about his "friends". When the mom's friend brings dinner and then tells her she can't see her again, the whole scene there was just so realistic. I am loving the heck out of this series!! Chris is really shining in this role. I agree to what was said above about how this may possibly be his best work. As I said before, I've read the book - twice - and I loved it. The first time I read it I did it in a week while I was on holiday and I couldn't put it down. It was gripping and I was shocked at the ending.
This is about as close to the images in my head as I could get. The casting has been spot on and the whole thing is gripping. I'm about to watch Ep 3 again.
I agree that Chris has been brilliant - and yes, I would agree that this is probably his best work so far - it's certainly up there with his performance as Curtis in Snowpiercer. I certainly hope that it gets him an Emmy nomination as had been rumoured. I do feel that Chris & Jaeden Martell have been getting all the credit though and people are forgetting Michelle Dockery. Although I wasn't sure about her as Laurie she's been really good.

The above posted article www.goldderby.com/article/2020/defending-jacob-costume-designer-johanna-argan-chris-evans-video-interview/Evans didn’t look like Captain America [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW with KEVIN JACOBSEN] twitter.com/Kevin_JacobsenCostume designer Johanna Argan had the enviable task of dressing Chris Evans on his new Apple TV+ series “Defending Jacob,” in which the actor plays Andy, the father of a teenage boy accused of murdering a fellow student. The role requires the former Captain America to don a much more muted set of clothing, including navy blue suits, casual sweatshirts, gray coats. “We wanted Chris not to look like Captain America,” says Argan in an exclusive new Gold Derby interview. “We wanted him to look like an everyday professional man who has a family, so we tried really hard to make the clothes feel real and lived-in, not overtly tailored.” Watch the full video interview with Argan above. Moving beyond Evans, who Argan calls a “designer’s dream,” it was important to the story to find the right looks for his wife, Laurie (Michelle Dockery), and son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell). To complement Dockery’s dark hair and ivory skin, Argan used “deep colors and simple silhouettes” to accentuate her best features while also reflecting a certain practicality that comes with being a mom who works with kids for a living. As the series progresses and Laurie starts to question what she thinks she knows about her son and her husband, Argan predicts that “people will subtly notice how I take the color out of Laurie’s life and she blends in.” Conversely, Jacob does not change as much, despite going through a harrowing ordeal, and as Argan notes, “We tried very hard to not show too much through his clothes; he’s the one who seems to stay the same most consistently throughout.” It was a challenge for Argan to work within a limited color palette (cool blues and greys) while still suggesting the passage of time and the changes happening within the characters. This required “making every change, as subtle as it may be, work, so the days didn’t look confusing, the characters didn’t look repetitive.” As a contemporary costume designer, Argan values the importance of making sure her costumes reflect the time period well. “The one thing I always try to do is when I look at my work is think, ‘When I look back at this in 10, 15, 20 years, will it be dated?'” says the designer, who was nominated for an Emmy for her work on “House of Cards” in 2017. While her work might not be as immediately noticeable to viewers as those who work in period or fantasy series, she points out that “we subtly tell the story through the deconstruction of their clothes,” whether it’s Andy’s shifting from prosecutor to rogue detective, Laurie’s unraveling or Jacob’s consistency.
