The Lincoln Lawyer is a Netflix series that is surprisingly a really good show. It is based on a series of novels written by Michael Connelly, and the genre is legal drama. The Lincoln Lawyer is about a man called Mickey Haller who gets a second chance when his lawyer friend gets murdered. Before his friend dies, he writes a will that hands Mickey his company, and therefore he get's the clients of his dead friend. Mickey gets a big case on a high profile murder trial. As he is trying to figure out how to win the trial, he also takes on the small cases as well.
This was a really good show, and every episode was well done and kept me wanting to watch the next episode. The actors were brilliant, especially Manuel Garcia Ruffo, who plays Mickey Haller. The way Manuel portrayed the character was outstanding, and he was definitely the standout in this show for me. I also liked the way the episodes were done. This is because in every episode we learnt something new that is a breakthrough in the murder trial, and it kept me engaged and wanting to know more. I also liked the setting of the show which is in Los Angles. It looked really cool and colorful, which made the show aesthetically pleasing.
The only thing I can think of that may be a negative for some people is that the show is very cheesy at times, but I think this brings a little bit of charm to the show. This might sound a bit weird but the show seems like a throwback to the early 2000's. I can't put my finger on it why I think this, but it makes the show more addictive for some reason. Hopefully there will be a season 2, but Netflix usually waits about a month before making a decision. This is because it depends on how well the show is received, and the viewing numbers. I'm sure there will be another season, and I will definitely be watching it when it comes out in the future.
Verdict - 8/10
The Lincoln Lawyer is highly addictive, and it keeps you wanting to know more on what is actually going on. The acting performances from the whole cast was brilliant, and they are a big reason why it was so good to watch. This show will definitely be in my top 10 for the best series I have watched this year. I would recommend this to pretty much anyone who likes drama. I promise you won't be disappointed giving this show a go!
