Here is a 1, just because it managed to trick me into watching more than 3 episodes.
Thought that occasionally cringe cliche moments wont hurt much, but I was wrong.

Otherwise, if you ever watch or read anything barely good, this is just another Netflix trash.… Expand

The script is full of cliches. Very predictable and stupid. The actors don't fit their roles.

It's got all the usual lawyer TV show tropes, including music bed playing in every other scene. Neve Campbell is about the best thing in this show but the rest of the actors and the characters they play are downright terrible - especially the lead, Mickey, his second wife, Lorna, and his investigator Cisco. Everything feels forced, rushed and dragged out at the same time.

Only spent the 10 or so hours to see this season's conclusion, but I knew right from the first episode that it wasn't going to be the best TV ever created.… Expand

The acting was standard fare, basically fine though at times, I'll admit, stilted. The Lincoln Lawyer feels like a network TV series, something you happened upon back in the mid to late 90s and I believe, because of David E. Kelley's presence and guidance, it was all intentional. This was made for the Law and Order and Boston Legal audience. And while it is a Netflix series, it tends to go against some of their more deeper and darker offerings. This is lawyer beach book fun but for the streaming audience. If you keep that in mind and go along for the ride, you'll find this story of a lawyer recovering from his addiction demons to take on a major case following the death of a colleague to be tidy and entertaining. It is what it is. Not groundbreaking, no, but ten well-constructed episodes that satisfy story requirements. Give it a watch if you like court room dramas.… Expand

The rest of these schleppers need to get into acting class. It’s a shame too because the premise has the makings of a half decent series albeit a network series. Doesn’t feel like a Netflix show. It belongs on a network. Really terrible acting makes this unwatchable. I don’t understand how Becki Newton gets auditions let alone gets studio and/or network approval. Bottom line: unless you’re a senior citizen, The Lincoln Lawyer is unbearable.… Expand

Their relationships, tensions and bonds revealed through clever conversation, shared meals, meetings, impossible schedules and human limitations all set against LA’s iconic skyline. None more intriguing than, the main character Micky Haller, a conflicted tall-dark handsome lawyer. He doesn’t mince words which he delivers with a soft intonation of a Mexican accent [true to Connelly’s book]. Haller may be the quirkiest of the bunch. All the confidence, bravado and charisma of a defense attorney in the courtroom. Reflective, questioning and searching for redemption outside of one. Preferring to work out of any one of his Lincolns rather than an office. Considering this show originated years ago pre-Covid for CBS and is based on a novel by Michael Connelly published in 2005, it is incredible that so many references in conversation connect to current affairs [e.g., Russian oligarchs, tech giants and their proclivity toward excess]. The undercurrent throughout the series reveals the imperfection of our justice system despite the best efforts, idealism and heroism of those who practice. Hoping for a second season.… Expand

That show looks great with a good 1st season, charismaric characters (Neve Campbell it's amazing in this) with a entertaning story... Very potential!

Excellent show! David Kelley has done it again.
Great shots of LA, top flight writing and a strong cast.

I liked Season One, but quit Season Two halfway through because of contrivance and a far less interesting premise. But I went back, partly because of the central characters - definitely not for the writing. It does feel like network television.

Like Bosch, Connelly's other success, the dialogue is flat and cliched, with hardly any effort made to polish it up a bit. The pace is lethargic, the characters two-dimensional except for all the standard emotional entanglements they drag around, and the plots are pretty contrived, always in search of a Magic Bullet to resolve the case. Maybe if they hadn't padded it for a 9-hour show, it could've been different, but this is really substandard stuff. Bosch was too, but it had an ambience that was kind of laid back and cool. L.A. homicide detectives are much cooler than any lawyer. Can't help wondering if Connelly's books are as bad as the TV shows. Can't wait for the Neve Campbell spin-off.… Expand
