The only reason I found out about this tv show and wanted to watch it was because of him. Turned out to be a great show but would have never known if it weren’t for him.
Must disagree, the best performence was human torch. JK. IMO it is, captain america, not only cuz he portrayed him really well and up to its expectations, just the evolution with the character and with chris in the MCU. But defending jacob is def on pair (ou pare idk how to write) ou just after.
@@rubensantos7925 I’ll say his best is Captain America, but he also did amazing in Gifted (2017), which was one that at the end made me cry, and he was also great in Not Another Teen Movie which was only his first main role and he still shined. Oh, and he did do a pretty cool, nice romantic comedy called “Playing It Cool” in 2015.

Sivasangkari Arumugam, Renew? More like change partner. Renew sounds more like you’re talking about renewing vows of one marriage. But the rest of your comment is very valid. He wants to find the one. He has dated. Maybe now he’s more private after people, via Twitter, harassed a serious girlfriend for not been worthy of him, according to the shallow comments she got about her looks. rockstarrachita, So he’s not stayed single forever really, only breaks of singleness, only hasn’t been married, divorced or remarried. Which is better I think. He rather wait for the one.
@@nonnidreams I meant the one who renew the marital status with different person as obviously if you are being married with the same person for the rest of your life, you don't have to renew your marriage at first place. Ya, I agree with you. He better keep it private, you know the thing called evil eyes, I really believe in that. How people's toxic vibration break so many celebrities' relationships.
@@angelique757 There was always this grey lighting color in the series-i'm guessing to fit the sad atmosphere of it.Plus they mostly wore grey and dark colored clothes.
Chris is a man that has deep feelings he is very profound and it does reflects into his acting and the way he live his life. He is a gem. Equality is important to him.
listening to this man speak is the most calming thing. he really was exceptional in this. but bruh when the man speaks??? eloquent and articulate. but also please tell me i wasn't alone is pausing to look at the framed photos? (i feel like such a stalker but what is going on in the one just above his neck? it looks like a hallway i think? lmao i'm such a creep im sorry)
Chris was excellent in this movie and that is saying something with Pablo Schreiber being such a great character actor. Chris really held his own! Excellent cast and performances by all!
Questions I WOULD have asked Chris Evans: 1) Do you think that Andy Barber always had a grey moral consciousness to begin with, or his unethical behaviors were a result of his parental instinct and him wanting to protect his child no matter what. 2) Andy's family is basically broken by the end of the show, but he was still trying to mend those cracks even if it takes reconstructing his wife's life on a lie. Again, is it a father/husband thing? Or is Andy clinging to the idea of a normal family/life in an abnormal way?
it is difficult to point out clearly if he generally had a questionable sense of morality. They didn't throw too much light on his work ethics. However, as a parent he did do a few things that called his ethics into question. But as a parent I can't fault him too much. But then again they say the true test of a man's character is in times of adversity. Can't answer number 2 haven't finished watching yet. I do like one thing about his character so far, his unwavering believe in his sons innocence. its nice to have that kind of support when you're truly innocent
I think I would've liked another ending, but I'm not mad about it. Their acting was amazing and chris did an amazing job, waiting to here more news about it :).
Chris is such a diverse and extremely talented actor. I’ve gone back and watched his body of work and all I can say is wow. I love how real and authentic he is. Much love and happiness to you sir. I enjoy watching you. 😘
Dylan Jenkins I think they leaving it open. With Chris Evans in it, they knew it would make a lot of money. Apple gonna push hard for a 2nd season because the show was so successful
He practically said that he did it, bc in my opinion if he didn't kill ben he would still have said No when they were in the car and Laurie was speeding up and he end up saying yes
Defending Jacob has to be one of Chris's best works. He was a phenomenal actor in it obviously, but also the show was just wonderfully written and directed. I hope that the show can stretch beyond the books and delve into another season. This show is evidently about family, and it would be very interesting to see how (and if) the Barber family picks up the extremely broken pieces of their family or if it is even possible for them to regain any sense of normalcy again. Too, it would be interesting to see how Jacob reacts to the accident: whether he think his mom was trying to kill him or not, and if so, how he deals with that.
I dont think Jacob did it at all. He could have easily killed that girl but didnt. Jacob was too innocent to kill somone his age and plus with a nife that's not happening!. I think Ben would have snapped that nife away from him and killed Jacob if Jacob had even tried! I love Jacob in this series!
C Evans the show built up an entire did he or did he not. Finale is an extreme disappointment when we don’t learn the main question the shows been asking.
How is it underrated when it's literally the most viewed show on Apple TV+ and it broke records and when it's also on awards chatter? Come on man, underrated would be when barely anybody is talking about it but most people are.
Misuse of the word "underrated". Yup, Jacob really did it. He killed the girl he met on the vacation too. The odds of two murder cases centered around you back to back were impossible had you not been the killer yourself.

I didn't read the book but I understand that the ending was changed, if Jacob died it would have had more closure (at least to me) 🤷♀️ Chris was great in this role btw
I read the book (Hope is also killed in book). I think the show was already really dark and they probably thought killing off more kids was too much. I like the open-endedness of the show's ending because the book's ending seems rush because of the closure.
In the book, it's strongly hinted that Jacob killed Hope by crushing her wind pipe. The mom actually kills Jacob in the novel. So the book is less ambiguous than the TV series.
The book has Jacob killing the girl Hope, and Laurie kills Jacob and she goes to jail. They changed it because they didn’t want to make it too obvious it was Jacob who committed the murders.
Just saying: one of his co-actors in IT played Stanley Uris in IT, then Stanley barber in I am not okay with this and after Jaeden played Jacob Thrombey in knives out he played someone literally called Jacob barber in defending jacob😂
I finished the show last night😂😂😂literally 8 episodes in a row,I have no idea how I can keep my eyes open rn,I slept 2 hours =))) The show was really interesting and Chris Evans acting was phenomenal
Honestly I loved the show! However on the last episode this is my theory I feel the mum was beyond breaking point and she obviously crashed the car on purpose due to the fact she was so torn and distraught by thinking her son did this. But truly I think the mom didn’t think they would of both survived the crash but when she realised she and her son were still alive she had then panicked and made up a cover story to tell her husband that it was an ‘accident’ so she would not be charged for trying to murder her son. Plus it kinda makes sense why she crashed the car because she had nothing to loose as she was already at breaking point thinking her son had killed Ben. Plus she probably did mean to kill her son due to the fact jacobs photo album was in the rubbish. But yeh I think the mum thought they would of both died from the crash but her plan had backfired so she made up a cover story to save her self from being charged for attempted murder.
I don't think she necessarily made it up in a devious, lying way. I think through her trauma, her mind convinced her that it was an accident to protect her from the painful consequences of the truth. This happens a lot with trauma victims. I think all of the events leading up to this definitely overwhelmed her to the point that she wanted to kill herself and her son to stop the pain. The show managed it so well. You clearly saw the mom breaking down throughout the whole show, but I never guessed that she would do such a thing. Yet at the same time, you're not really surprised that she did and you could see how she ended up there.
I believe she was genuinely hurt in the crash and she truly doesn't remember her state of mind before the crash. She was so uncertain and she had things kept from her so many times
of course he was satisfied with this project, it was really incredible, a great job from everyone but the performance of the three main roles was wonderful; And I dare to add that Chris's was majestic, as someone who is not a father manages to transmit that feeling and make it so real, wow, I loved it. By the way, excellent interview! thanks.

Could you give me my message Chris please: Congratulations for your excellent performance in defending Jacob, Andy Barber made me cry, I am proud to say that I am your fan one more, I admire you very much you are a person with such a pure soul and a huge heart God bless you Christopher🙏💜
The acting was just superb. I loved watching every episode. The directors did a mighty good job to give us an immersive experience. I how ever did not wholesomely enjoy the ending. I didn't get the sense of closure that would have cemented the show's greatness in my mind. I feel like there's a lot that was left unresolved. Mainly, of course, WHO KILLED BEN? but also what was Jacob's connection to Leonards Pats? I honestly thought that Jacob was being molested by Pats. I want to know all of this but I'm not sure I'd be willing to go through another season just to find out.
I felt like Jacob did it. He always looked uneasy, and he was never completely honest about anything. There was always one surprise after another with this kid.
I think Patz, Matt, Derek, and Jacob were all involved in some way. I don't trust Derek because he stole Ben's phone 2 days before his murder and accused Jacob on social media. Then Matt sits on his story for months and conveniently disappears right before the trial. My theory is that Derek borrows Jacob's knife, gets in touch with Matt who gives Patz the knife and sets him up with Ben. Matt will do anything for money, including sending Patz additional victims. Patz uses Jacob's knife to overpower Ben. He sexually assaults Ben, while Derek and Jacob get footage of it and run off. But Jacob returns for his knife, and that's when Patz kills Ben so that he can assault Jacob. After this, Patz freaks out, leaves Jacob's knife and runs off. Jacob moves the body so that it will be found by a passerby and leaves the scene as though nothing ever happened. That evening, Derek is still on good terms with Jacob since he assumes Patz killed Ben, but he has his doubts. Then he reads Jacob's story online and tells the police, since he doesn't want to be implicated in Ben's murder. Jacob writes and publishes the story in order to create an alternative version of events in which he can escape his own assault. Then, Jacob gets into a similar case in Mexico, where he befriends a young female tourist, only to simultaneously get in touch with gangsters who make her disappear from the party. Since he isn't strong enough to overpower Hope, he goes about it vicariously just like he did with Ben. Also, the computer program that wipes memory on Jacob's laptop may have been used to erase the footage of Ben's assault. That's my theory on what could have happened. I don't think Jacob committed the crime, but I do believe he and Derek were implicated in the sense that they had a connection to Patz and relied on him in order to gain compromising footage of Ben.
Not knowing who killed Ben is the WHOLE POINT of this story! You’re feeling exactly what Laurie was feeling in that car at the end (albeit not so intensely cuz it’s not your son)... Honestly I feel like this show doesn’t really need a follow season... I know the book ends differently but the way show handles it is more nuanced

He was able to be a good man and a good father, something his dad in jail said you could never do. But Andrew achieved that by protecting his broken family.
Amazing show. Intelligent, brilliant, dark, with a lot of grey aspects, such as life is. It was a joy to watch something so good, emotional, and special, very different from regular tv shows. Kudos to Chris Evans and everyone involved.
Do y’all think Jacob did it? I think he didn’t. During the car scene, his mom was going crazy and I think he loves her enough to confess if she was about to crash the car. Instead, he “said he did it” but just to stop her from crashing
Merilyn Li I honestly think he did it. He was never honest about anything in his life. Everyday there was something new that would catch his parents completely off guard. He was a sociopath!
He did it. Go back to the intro of episode 1. It opens with Jacobs reflection in water with blood in it. Well you can’t really see that it’s him clearly but it does imply that Jacobs online story/confession was true,as far as when he washes the knife off in the water.
@@miawallace3738 this wasnt the scene where Ben died it was the scene of the car accident. It was raining and you can see glass there and the blood drops into a lil pebble of water. It would float if it would be where Ben died by the river yk. And you can see the label that was in the hospital in the last episode in Laurie's room with the smileys on it.
He didn't, at least in the series. Apple has this thing where they don't allow bad people use Apple products. Now if we're talking about the book maybe.
Sometimes I wonder how is Chris as a person... He seems amazing and down to earth to me...bt is there any other thing I might want to know! I really want to know about him everything!
I wish they had gone for a different ending. They just slightly changed the book ending and I hoped for something more creative. I know the main point was not really solving the mystery but the experience of the parents dealing with having a murderer as child and not knowing. It’s wasn’t about Jacob and they left his characters so ambiguous on purpose. So in this way the ending is fine but it’s so similarly to the book.
Agreed. *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** I think the smart move would have been to kill the wife and keep Jacob alive. They did well on not telling us if he's guilty or not. It reminds me of "The Bad Seed" (the first one not the remake) *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER ***
I finished the show just in 1 day. I was shaking and confused while I'm watching it. I mean, the story was very sad, it made me feel like, watching this show is the worst and the best decision. Idk, maybe the story was so sad
omg same, a friend suggested the show to me and I finished watching in just 1 day. The story was beautifully executed, as you said, its actually the best and worst decision xD. Tbh taking into consideration of the plot and all the evidences I think Jacob did it but a part of me still wants to believe that he's innocent. If we're talking about the book version it's pretty obvious that Jacob did it, but in the series, it's extremely confusing and opinionated. A real emotion roller coaster it was xD
Hadin Nah. I think Jacob is innocent. The story he wrote threw me off but I think Jacob is just weird and gathered the info from reports just like how Andy said. Though there could be a possibility that he did it but my mind says no. The end thooo 😭. Also, I watched the series twice already lmao, why am I torturing myself???

The show was great, the finale was based on real responses of an ordinary family, the perspectives of the society and even the limitations of judgments, not extraordinary but real.
The show was so sad but that’s why I love it. Well Not the sadness to it but the story. It was realistic and it asked the question what would u do in this situation and what or who would u believe? That’s why I loved it. And Chris Evans as Captain America and Andy are on TWO different levels. I love it😂❤️

i love the limited series even though the ending wasn’t the best i still think it was really good and full of great acting! (the actors did a good job)
I think if they do a season 2 it should be all abt Jacob waking up from his coma and having memory loss and as the season goes on he eventually begins to remember and piece together things realizing he is a murder and admitting to his actions also confirming that his mom tried to kill him and it wasn’t an accident.
I love you and I loved you so much as andy, such a great dad, This role was the best ever, wishing you all the best and waiting for more and more from you
lady really compared the events going on in america to jacob getting accused of murder..........................the correlation??? it's not there, sis... chris said "b****h WHAT??????????"
He tried to tell her multiple times that’s not the wave. It wasn’t clicking. If he would have been honest and blunt he would have said I’m trying to not getting you dragged on the internet. 😂😂😂
Fantastic series. The acting was superb from beginning to end. Bravo to all of the actors, Director, writers and the entire crew. I love Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery in other roles so expected them to be great and they didn’t disappoint. Jaeden Martell played Jacob perfectly as a typical teenager who doesn’t want to tell his parents anything and does some really stupid stuff even knowing how serious the consequences could be. 😬 The ending was a bit disappointing by not definitely saying whether Jacob killed Ben but I think that’s on purpose to leave it open for people to discuss and form their own opinions. I personally don’t think he did it. Jacob did so much stuff to cause the finger to be pointed at him and I think if he had done it he would have been trying to blame someone else. Unless, he’s a psychopath like his mother started to believe. 😏
im gonna put spoilers for the book in this comment / / / in the book Hope dies and although it's never been proven that it was jacob who killed her, if you are even a little bit into true crime like i am, it becomes real clear that it cant be a coincidence that two kids that were quote on quote close to jacob just up and died without him being a part in it. so i watched the whole show with a bigger "oh he did done it" kind of mindset so ofc i was also projecting it into understanding andy as a character and it was very curious to see how chris would approach the role from this point of view. i think he's done an amazing job with it. and michelle too! if you know that it ends with a crash in advance, you can notice those little moments of her mental health descending in the darkest place imaginable and it just makes you respect all of them a little more for all of the work they've put into the show

hiiii
OHHH GOD ! I RELATE TO YOU SO MUCH!
I loved him as andy so much. One of his best roles so far!! And his acting... Wow
Yeah, it was really refreshing seeing him in a 'normal' role. I've only really seen him in the superhero movies. He was excellent.
Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery were phenomenal in this! Absolutely loved the show!!
What about Jaeden?
Questions I WOULD have asked Chris Evans:
1) Do you think that Andy Barber always had a grey moral consciousness to begin with, or his unethical behaviors were a result of his parental instinct and him wanting to protect his child no matter what.
2) Andy's family is basically broken by the end of the show, but he was still trying to mend those cracks even if it takes reconstructing his wife's life on a lie. Again, is it a father/husband thing? Or is Andy clinging to the idea of a normal family/life in an abnormal way?
What does Andy do that is unethical? Don't tell me too much since oy would spoil
Did Laurie not remember what she did in the end because she was broken up over Jacob
it is difficult to point out clearly if he generally had a questionable sense of morality. They didn't throw too much light on his work ethics. However, as a parent he did do a few things that called his ethics into question. But as a parent I can't fault him too much.
But then again they say the true test of a man's character is in times of adversity.

Maybe they are prepping for a season 2 (even when it's limited) because the ending feels like a tease more than anything.
The ending from the book is different and way more tragic
MarveliciousCP I agree, especially that they changed the ending leaving it unfinished.
John Luis De Guzman yes I believe jacob died in it, thank god they changed it
What is your alternative ending?
Chris is such a diverse and extremely talented actor. I’ve gone back and watched his body of work and all I can say is wow. I love how real and authentic he is. Much love and happiness to you sir. I enjoy watching you. 😘
So true! Defending Jacob, Gifted, Knives Out- such different characters, perfectly played❤️
I loved this show but I wish it would have confirmed if Jacob did it or not

Dylan Jenkins I think they leaving it open. With Chris Evans in it, they knew it would make a lot of money. Apple gonna push hard for a 2nd season because the show was so successful
If you watch the video, Rian Johnson did for the vanity fair. He gives you the answer.

Owen Plays what?? That he has pictures of people behind? What if that’s his family
Tarheel Elphie the black and white ones are with Penny
@@Fbitypeshit I think he meant focusing on the photos is creepy
the show was amazing and he did such a good job with his acting in this show
I smiled so hard when Chris laughed after she said she was a big fan of Dodger
My favorite scene is still the part when Andy sings and does a little shoulder dance to Feliz Navidad 😂
the interviewer was really good chris is very articulate, this was a delight!

Once again Chris proved what a good of an actor he is, he did a very good job and I really enjoyed the show even when it was little different from the book, it was very emotional ❤️️ It's nice to hear him talking about it 😇

I just love this guy, he is so warm, good-looking, talented and definitely knows how to talk :-)
Love listen to Chris Evans talk.
Kudos to Chris. He’s more than just Captain America. Shows his acting chops here. He was really good in the role.
really good and surprising ending, Chris Evans is an amzaing actor, one of the best of our time
I didn't read the book but I understand that the ending was changed, if Jacob died it would have had more closure (at least to me) 🤷♀️
Chris was great in this role btw
I read the book (Hope is also killed in book). I think the show was already really dark and they probably thought killing off more kids was too much. I like the open-endedness of the show's ending because the book's ending seems rush because of the closure.
@@juicesnap yeah I guess they adapted the book the best way they could for tv purposes
In the book, it's strongly hinted that Jacob killed Hope by crushing her wind pipe. The mom actually kills Jacob in the novel. So the book is less ambiguous than the TV series.
They most likely wanted to leave the ending open for a potential second season.
The book has Jacob killing the girl Hope, and Laurie kills Jacob and she goes to jail. They changed it because they didn’t want to make it too obvious it was Jacob who committed the murders.
So funny that Jaeden Martell played a young Chris Evans in “Playing it Cool.” 😊 Guess that’s what led to this role for him.
He was in Knives Out too!
@@heartsmelody189 also playing a kid named Jacob
Cool
Just saying: one of his co-actors in IT played Stanley Uris in IT, then Stanley barber in I am not okay with this and after Jaeden played Jacob Thrombey in knives out he played someone literally called Jacob barber in defending jacob😂
@@ellalawrance413 i know
He is a wonderful person. I wish him to get a family someday because he sure has all the skills to BE a really great father and man.
He was so great as Andy. I read the book and I couldn't have seen anyone else as Andy. I felt so bad for Andy...
You saw Chris in the book?
Chris was phenomenal on Defending Jacob! One of his best performance so far :)
“This is not a dude, you’re a dude. This ...this is a MAN”😂💖😂
Rocket
@@emiliobello2429 Nope. Drax says this.
I finished the show last night😂😂😂literally 8 episodes in a row,I have no idea how I can keep my eyes open rn,I slept 2 hours =))) The show was really interesting and Chris Evans acting was phenomenal
defending jacob was incredible, chris is absolutely fantastic as andy, and dockery and martell kill in it as well.
Listening and looking at the screen this man makes my mouth open a little, period.
Honestly I loved the show! However on the last episode this is my theory I feel the mum was beyond breaking point and she obviously crashed the car on purpose due to the fact she was so torn and distraught by thinking her son did this. But truly I think the mom didn’t think they would of both survived the crash but when she realised she and her son were still alive she had then panicked and made up a cover story to tell her husband that it was an ‘accident’ so she would not be charged for trying to murder her son. Plus it kinda makes sense why she crashed the car because she had nothing to loose as she was already at breaking point thinking her son had killed Ben. Plus she probably did mean to kill her son due to the fact jacobs photo album was in the rubbish. But yeh I think the mum thought they would of both died from the crash but her plan had backfired so she made up a cover story to save her self from being charged for attempted murder.
I don't think she necessarily made it up in a devious, lying way. I think through her trauma, her mind convinced her that it was an accident to protect her from the painful consequences of the truth. This happens a lot with trauma victims. I think all of the events leading up to this definitely overwhelmed her to the point that she wanted to kill herself and her son to stop the pain.
The show managed it so well. You clearly saw the mom breaking down throughout the whole show, but I never guessed that she would do such a thing. Yet at the same time, you're not really surprised that she did and you could see how she ended up there.
Does she not love Jacob anymore?
I believe she was genuinely hurt in the crash and she truly doesn't remember her state of mind before the crash. She was so uncertain and she had things kept from her so many times
I personally think when she crashed the car she tried to milk herself, not just Jacob because she was so distraught
yeah i think she was trying to kill both herself and jacob in the crash because she was so broken :(
of course he was satisfied with this project, it was really incredible, a great job from everyone but the performance of the three main roles was wonderful; And I dare to add that Chris's was majestic, as someone who is not a father manages to transmit that feeling and make it so real, wow, I loved it.
By the way, excellent interview! thanks.

I love this man since Fantastic 4. And gets better in every role.
Chris was so amazing like Andy, he deserves full atention in awards season !!!
Really good show, so worth watching, and obviously our precious Chris being amazing
I loved this series, the acting, how it was shot, the somber mood . As a parent I could feel the angst. Such an intense story!
What are your thoughts on Jacob?
Chris being great and awesome and a gentleman as usual! Even being able to politely turn poor questions into a deeper and better “conversation”! The show is fantastic, his work was flawless, his complex character and everyone’s was not meant to be explained but for people to reflect on them! BRAVO

I love you so much Chris Evans 💙 this serie is amazing i cried so much during this serie specially the last episode, so heartbreaking 😭
Could you give me my message Chris please: Congratulations for your excellent performance in defending Jacob, Andy Barber made me cry, I am proud to say that I am your fan one more, I admire you very much you are a person with such a pure soul and a huge heart God bless you Christopher🙏💜
The acting was just superb. I loved watching every episode. The directors did a mighty good job to give us an immersive experience. I how ever did not wholesomely enjoy the ending. I didn't get the sense of closure that would have cemented the show's greatness in my mind. I feel like there's a lot that was left unresolved. Mainly, of course, WHO KILLED BEN? but also what was Jacob's connection to Leonards Pats? I honestly thought that Jacob was being molested by Pats. I want to know all of this but I'm not sure I'd be willing to go through another season just to find out.
It's called an open ending
I felt like Jacob did it. He always looked uneasy, and he was never completely honest about anything. There was always one surprise after another with this kid.
I think Patz, Matt, Derek, and Jacob were all involved in some way. I don't trust Derek because he stole Ben's phone 2 days before his murder and accused Jacob on social media. Then Matt sits on his story for months and conveniently disappears right before the trial. My theory is that Derek borrows Jacob's knife, gets in touch with Matt who gives Patz the knife and sets him up with Ben. Matt will do anything for money, including sending Patz additional victims. Patz uses Jacob's knife to overpower Ben. He sexually assaults Ben, while Derek and Jacob get footage of it and run off. But Jacob returns for his knife, and that's when Patz kills Ben so that he can assault Jacob. After this, Patz freaks out, leaves Jacob's knife and runs off. Jacob moves the body so that it will be found by a passerby and leaves the scene as though nothing ever happened. That evening, Derek is still on good terms with Jacob since he assumes Patz killed Ben, but he has his doubts. Then he reads Jacob's story online and tells the police, since he doesn't want to be implicated in Ben's murder. Jacob writes and publishes the story in order to create an alternative version of events in which he can escape his own assault. Then, Jacob gets into a similar case in Mexico, where he befriends a young female tourist, only to simultaneously get in touch with gangsters who make her disappear from the party. Since he isn't strong enough to overpower Hope, he goes about it vicariously just like he did with Ben. Also, the computer program that wipes memory on Jacob's laptop may have been used to erase the footage of Ben's assault. That's my theory on what could have happened. I don't think Jacob committed the crime, but I do believe he and Derek were implicated in the sense that they had a connection to Patz and relied on him in order to gain compromising footage of Ben.
Not knowing who killed Ben is the WHOLE POINT of this story! You’re feeling exactly what Laurie was feeling in that car at the end (albeit not so intensely cuz it’s not your son)... Honestly I feel like this show doesn’t really need a follow season... I know the book ends differently but the way show handles it is more nuanced
Hassany Lajvard Well said. I haven’t read the book. How is it different from the series? I thoroughly enjoyed the series!
This interviewer was absolutely brilliant, such intelligent, shrewd and well thought out questions.

Loved the show!! But I'm still not sure if I enjoyed the ending... Good casting, the leading actors have done a good job!
Chris is amazing and he is such an honest person. I love the way that he answers questions in a complex matter
this show made me scream cry. I dont know maybe im just a crybaby but I bawled.
Bravo Chris!, outstanding role for an outstanding actor....kudos!!
He’s so articulate!
This is my third attempt to watch this interview! Every time I try to listen what he is saying I get distracted by his expressions! Such a love!
Loved this show so much! Great acting, writing and directing!
He was able to be a good man and a good father, something his dad in jail said you could never do. But Andrew achieved that by protecting his broken family.
Literally one of the best shows I’ve watched in a while
Amazing show. Intelligent, brilliant, dark, with a lot of grey aspects, such as life is. It was a joy to watch something so good, emotional, and special, very different from regular tv shows. Kudos to Chris Evans and everyone involved.
Do y’all think Jacob did it? I think he didn’t. During the car scene, his mom was going crazy and I think he loves her enough to confess if she was about to crash the car. Instead, he “said he did it” but just to stop her from crashing
Merilyn Li I honestly think he did it. He was never honest about anything in his life. Everyday there was something new that would catch his parents completely off guard. He was a sociopath!
He did it. Go back to the intro of episode 1. It opens with Jacobs reflection in water with blood in it. Well you can’t really see that it’s him clearly but it does imply that Jacobs online story/confession was true,as far as when he washes the knife off in the water.
I thought he didn't do it but after the story in ep7 he fucking did it
@@miawallace3738 this wasnt the scene where Ben died it was the scene of the car accident. It was raining and you can see glass there and the blood drops into a lil pebble of water. It would float if it would be where Ben died by the river yk. And you can see the label that was in the hospital in the last episode in Laurie's room with the smileys on it.
He didn't, at least in the series. Apple has this thing where they don't allow bad people use Apple products.
Now if we're talking about the book maybe.
SO THERE'S NO OTHER SEASON AFTER ALL OF THIS !!??????
CHILE--
THERE NEEDS TO BE A SEASON 2 😡 PLEASE 😭😫
Thank you for this amazing interview👏👏
"Defending Jacob" is mind-blowing🤯👌
Greetings from Costa Rica🇨🇷
Sometimes I wonder how is Chris as a person... He seems amazing and down to earth to me...bt is there any other thing I might want to know! I really want to know about him everything!
I wish they had gone for a different ending. They just slightly changed the book ending and I hoped for something more creative. I know the main point was not really solving the mystery but the experience of the parents dealing with having a murderer as child and not knowing. It’s wasn’t about Jacob and they left his characters so ambiguous on purpose. So in this way the ending is fine but it’s so similarly to the book.
Agreed. *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** I think the smart move would have been to kill the wife and keep Jacob alive. They did well on not telling us if he's guilty or not. It reminds me of "The Bad Seed" (the first one not the remake) *** SPOILER *** SPOILER *** SPOILER ***
Cham s that’s exactly what I thought would have happened. I thought that Laurie would die and Jacob would live
@@anee it may be hard for Jacob but at least he has his father
I finished the show just in 1 day. I was shaking and confused while I'm watching it. I mean, the story was very sad, it made me feel like, watching this show is the worst and the best decision. Idk, maybe the story was so sad
Ikkkk. It was the worst and best decision of my life.
omg same, a friend suggested the show to me and I finished watching in just 1 day. The story was beautifully executed, as you said, its actually the best and worst decision xD. Tbh taking into consideration of the plot and all the evidences I think Jacob did it but a part of me still wants to believe that he's innocent. If we're talking about the book version it's pretty obvious that Jacob did it, but in the series, it's extremely confusing and opinionated. A real emotion roller coaster it was xD
Hadin
Nah. I think Jacob is innocent. The story he wrote threw me off but I think Jacob is just weird and gathered the info from reports just like how Andy said. Though there could be a possibility that he did it but my mind says no. The end thooo 😭. Also, I watched the series twice already lmao, why am I torturing myself???
Chris you are amazing, handsome, beautiful and intelligent. Love you 😘🥰😍🌹💋❤️

The show was great, the finale was based on real responses of an ordinary family, the perspectives of the society and even the limitations of judgments, not extraordinary but real.
LOVED THIS SHOW. DONT READ THE COMMENTS THERE are ALOT OF PEOPLE SPOILERS SO GOOOO WATCH
He's the most calm person I've ever seen😊 n I don't think he had done anything wired in his childhood by looking at him now.😍😍
His voice drive me crazy! His good manners! I'm in love! 🧔
The show was so sad but that’s why I love it. Well Not the sadness to it but the story. It was realistic and it asked the question what would u do in this situation and what or who would u believe? That’s why I loved it. And Chris Evans as Captain America and Andy are on TWO different levels. I love it😂❤️
Loved it! Laurie was that piece of my myself (audience comment). Jaeden, Michelle, and Chris you guys did amazing in this series.

Watching this made me realized that this will probably the ending but the ending in the book was better
What happens in the book? Tell me. (I haven't read it)
i love the limited series even though the ending wasn’t the best i still think it was really good and full of great acting! (the actors did a good job)
I think if they do a season 2 it should be all abt Jacob waking up from his coma and having memory loss and as the season goes on he eventually begins to remember and piece together things realizing he is a murder and admitting to his actions also confirming that his mom tried to kill him and it wasn’t an accident.
and Its Look like The Fall. Of Jaimy
Yeah I agree but I think they should just leave it as it is
I love you and I loved you so much as andy, such a great dad, This role was the best ever, wishing you all the best and waiting for more and more from you
He and Jacob are very close
I didn’t read the book but when the fam went on vaca and the girl was missing I was like ., OH. HELL. NO!
Wow. Great interview. Deep feelings towards this
lady really compared the events going on in america to jacob getting accused of murder..........................the correlation??? it's not there, sis...
chris said "b****h WHAT??????????"
He tried to tell her multiple times that’s not the wave. It wasn’t clicking. If he would have been honest and blunt he would have said I’m trying to not getting you dragged on the internet. 😂😂😂
Much respect for him and the way he handled that question.
As soon as she asked I was like "that's a stretch" and then he more diplomatically said the exact same thing.
Could you add a time stamp? When does she ask this?
@@padipadi8293 4:24
One of his best roles so far! He's amazing actor!
Chris is really good in the series.
When you are such a big celebrity but your WiFi still ditches you 😂😂😂
I realized the ending was for a season two opening, but it would have been better to follow the book and have Jacob die.
oh why would you comment this! thanks
So there is going to be season 2?
Great interview and great questions from the host!!
Fantastic series. The acting was superb from beginning to end. Bravo to all of the actors, Director, writers and the entire crew. I love Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery in other roles so expected them to be great and they didn’t disappoint. Jaeden Martell played Jacob perfectly as a typical teenager who doesn’t want to tell his parents anything and does some really stupid stuff even knowing how serious the consequences could be. 😬 The ending was a bit disappointing by not definitely saying whether Jacob killed Ben but I think that’s on purpose to leave it open for people to discuss and form their own opinions. I personally don’t think he did it. Jacob did so much stuff to cause the finger to be pointed at him and I think if he had done it he would have been trying to blame someone else. Unless, he’s a psychopath like his mother started to believe. 😏
im gonna put spoilers for the book in this comment

in the book Hope dies and although it's never been proven that it was jacob who killed her, if you are even a little bit into true crime like i am, it becomes real clear that it cant be a coincidence that two kids that were quote on quote close to jacob just up and died without him being a part in it. so i watched the whole show with a bigger "oh he did done it" kind of mindset so ofc i was also projecting it into understanding andy as a character and it was very curious to see how chris would approach the role from this point of view. i think he's done an amazing job with it. and michelle too! if you know that it ends with a crash in advance, you can notice those little moments of her mental health descending in the darkest place imaginable and it just makes you respect all of them a little more for all of the work they've put into the show
Not really familiar with this actor before watching the series but I’m a huge fan now.
He's Captain America.
Lol. Like for real?!
I love his character
I only watched defending jacob for jaeden martell, but this series is so underrated and i loved it
I thought it was amazing..what an incredible body of work. You rock in drama, and a great cast as well
#ididntwantittoend
Love Chris evans and the show
this show is truly so freaking amazing. i had chills.
he's so beautiful
He's such a great actor!!! What a great series too🎉
I love him 🧡

This was such a deep and dark series in away but so do good Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery were pretty amazing in their roles. It even left me feeling saddened and a little disturbed in the end but such a good series. I liked it.👏🏽🎬🙂
Defending Jacob is awesome
