You've seen it before, perhaps, but don't let that stop you. "Defending Jacob..." is gripping enough in its own way, despite some of the familiar moves, and the acting is consistently fine.

The high-profile names involved and impressive production are what really separate it from your standard basic cable crime dramas and not necessarily the content itself.
