Unfamiliar with the source material, I had a good time with this series. The story kept me hooked. The acting was standard fare, basically fine though at times, I'll admit, stilted.

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

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

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