Presumed Innocent (AppleTV+) - "Bases Loaded" - First episode in a new
series about a D.A. accused of murdering a fellow D.A. that he
previously had an affair with.  So far, it's more or less like the movie
except moving at an even slower pace.

It's not. I heard a review from a critic who had watched 7 of 8
episodes. It's updated to the present. Setting is changed to Chicago.
Characters have changed. Motivations have changed. The plot is
different. The murderer may be different.

With such vast changes, it should have been an all-new story and not an
adaptation.
