The series Defending Jacob is an American TV series that is comprised fully of crime, drama, and mystery. The series is a character-driven, gripping, and thrill drama focusing on the 2012 New York Times best-selling novel with the same name, written by William Landay. In this article, we shall discuss Defending Jacob Season 2.

Defending Jacob Plot Summary
An assistant district attorney in suburban Massachusetts for around 20 years, Andy Barber is respected in his community, determined in his workplace, that is, the courtroom, and living a happy life at his residence with his wife Laurie and son Jacob.
