    Planted seeds really go nowhere by the end. Several subplots, including one with Cisco and his former bike gang, occupy real estate with zero payoffs. Garcia-Rulfo, Newton, and Campbell try their hardest, but the show isn’t worthy of their talents (or even a continuation).

    Lot of nonsense and bad law. (Mild spoiler) A lawyer dies in the first episode, and the Lincoln Lawyer gets his practice. He tries one of theLot of nonsense and bad law. (Mild spoiler) A lawyer dies in the first episode, and the Lincoln Lawyer gets his practice. He tries one of the dead lawyer's cases and he gets a continuance of one day? Really? 24 hours to learn an entire trial and give his client the best possible defense? Please.

    Also, the main character has a really weird accent that doesn't showcase the Lincoln Lawyer character *at all*. Matthew McConaughey he is not.    … Full Review »
