The Lincoln Lawyer is one of those shows that won’t leave a big impression on you after you watch it, but it’s got enough good stuff going on to make it an enjoyable, pulpy watch.
-
“The Lincoln Lawyer” doesn’t manage all its elements perfectly, but it’s got enough going to make for pleasurable, glossy entertainment.
-
A challenge for this show is that its central character (and performance) is perfectly fine but not especially compelling or layered, so it relies mostly on the problem-solving efforts of the supporting cast (who are underserved this time out; rarely is the team even in the same room together) and how interesting the cases actually are — or aren’t.
-
The Lincoln Lawyer is solidly energetic big budget escapism that carries no airs or graces about being anything above its station as a frivolous fast-paced adventure, which is exactly what it should be.

Season 2 keeps going in circles without much care put into how it all is constructed. Much like the first season, the pacing of many scenes and the way the dialogue is written is clunky rather than slick. Escalations and twists land with dull thuds when everything is shot so flatly, making it hard to get wrapped up in the drama of the plot.
