The Fugitive (2020)	comment	The Fugitive is a 2020 American action series that aired on the Quibi web service. It is a modern update of the 1963 series of the same name, which had previously been remade in 2000 (after receiving a feature film adaptation in 1993). Unlike the film and the previous remake, this series features a new protagonist and a different premise designed to reflect the age of New Media:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mike Ferro (Boyd Holbrook) is an ex-con who has turned his life around and gotten a job in the Los Angeles Transit Authority. When his train is destroyed in a terrorist bombing, he is one of those lucky enough to survive the blast relatively unscathed. But it is not long before faulty evidence - coupled with a few overzealous people with cameraphones jumping to the wrong conclusions - make him look like the guilty party. Wrongfully—and very publicly—accused, the only way Ferro can prove his innocence is to go on the run and search for the real culprits. But one of the LAPD's best detectives, Clay Bryce (Kiefer Sutherland), is hot on Ferro's trail, and will stop at nothing to corner his prey.The 14 episode series eventually moved to The Roku Channel on May 20, being rebranded as a Roku Original.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

The Fugitive (2020) / int_24321e44	comment	Only Sane Man: Jerry Conwell, a reporter who works at the Daily Edge. He's the only one there who seems to have any journalistic ethics or a problem with hanging the bombings around Mike Ferro's neck without any solid evidence.

The Fugitive (2020) / int_2fbab42f	comment	Wrongful Accusation Insurance: Mike commits multiple felonies while on the run, including resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer while stealing his gun (this gets him the "Kill on Sight" order). At the end there's no indication he will get prosecuted. Granted, it would probably look very bad to do that after nearly getting shot by the police and having to track down the real culprit himself, whom otherwise they might not have found until he murdered more people.

The Fugitive (2020) / int_3678fbfa	comment	Mad Bomber: The real culprit is revealed as be an angry demolitions expert who was injured and denied his deserved compensation from a wealthy businessman. After this, his life fell apart, losing his job, wife and child. He bombs a train the businessman was riding, murdering him and about twenty bystanders. Later he bombs the courthouse for the courts ruling for the businessman. The last target is the insurance company which denied his claims, but that gets stopped. A viewer can sympathize about his grievances, but he deliberated targeted innocent people with no part in what happened to him, aiming for maximum casualties, which puts him beyond the pale.

Pritti decides she wants to go interview Pearl about "what it's like to be raised by the Manson family" and her boss signed off on this. The actual bomber then takes her hostage while he threatens to shoot her. He doesn't however.

His response is to sue them for slander and libel, force them to cut huge checks to the actual victims and Pritti be fired on the spot with him refusing to even look her in the eye.

When even he can no longer deny this the looks of "I told you so" from everyone say it all. Ridge and Pritti are also warned by their Only Sane Man repeatedly that this is irresponsible and wrong and is completely ignored. When them being proven wrong results in Ridge being sued into poverty and Pritti losing her job he comments that he hopes, some day, they can actually grow as human beings from this.

It turns out that he was actually asleep in the back with his brother driving, but as they're dead with supposed evidence which showed he'd been driving Mike takes a plea bargain, getting five years in prison instead of much longer.

The Fugitive (2020) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Mike Ferro is one for Richard Kimble - innocent man on the run, desperate to clear his name. Detective Bryce is one for Inspector Gerard - the determined cop obsessed with tracking down the titular fugitive. They even have a confrontation that closely mirrors the storm drain confrontation from the 1993 film, with Ferro getting the drop on Bryce and using this opportunity to insist that he is innocent. Like Gerard, Bryce doesn't care. Although Bryce is supposed to be the remake version of Gerard, there's no lack of reviewers who have commented that casting Kiefer Sutherland in the role essentially makes him a copy of Jack Bauer.
