Manuel Garcia-Rulfo thrives in the courtroom scenes that pepper Lincoln Lawyer. .... Lincoln Lawyer is also at its best when its centerpiece attorney is in reaction mode to the moves being made by the people in his personal and professional lives, which increasingly overlap.
-
The reversals and breakthroughs of the case are as stylized as those in any crime drama. But the relaxed approach and generally unfussy writing of “The Lincoln Lawyer” let it feel more tethered to everyday life, and closer to normal human emotion, than most shows in its category.
-
The show is ultimately at its best when Newton and her character’s enthusiastic competence are at the forefront, or when Mickey finds himself in unexpected one-on-one meetings with dangerous men.

Despite fumbling several storylines, the show is still entertaining and compelling, and you hardly feel like you're wasting your time. However, a heftier exploration of other characters who are not Mickey Haller would certainly elevate the show to a must-watch status.
