If George Pelecanos has Baltimore and Dennis Lehane has Boston, Tafoya is probably the best spotlight for Philadelphia's crime fiction considering the similarities, which is a shame considering he lacks the volume of work the other two have. Nonetheless, Peter Craig does a good job adapting the novel as a series.
Brian Tyree Henry is Ray Driscoll, an intelligent self-taught crook who makes his money as sticking up drug dealers in Philadelphia alongside his best friend, immature dopehead Manny Carvalho. Deciding to go bigger, they recruit ex-convict Rick to act as a third man while robbing a meth lab. The problem? Rick is killed in a gun battle with the cooks and wounds a third woman, who turns out to be an undercover DEA agent. The bigger problem? The meth lab belongs to an outlaw biker gang pushing into Philly's drug trade, and they know both Ray and Manny stole their product.
The cast is good, with Kate Mulgrew standing out as Theresa, the girlfriend of Ray's father and a loving mother figure to Ray, who calls "Ma" without hesitation. However, the DEA side of the series doesn't really mesh well. Marin Ireland is fine but doesn't really feel noteworthy as Mina. She's not emotive as a character except for a few scenes.
People complained about the dialogue, but I like it well enough. It adds to the influence of both The Wire and Lehane's own body of work. Manny cries and freaks out a little too much for me, but nothing seems out of place in spite of that.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a show that struggles with an identity crisis. Is it a legal thriller? A workplace dramedy? A hardboiled character study? The show tries to juggle these different aspects and fumbles hard. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Neve Campbell are likeable in their roles, but it's hard to take any of the supporting cast seriously.
Angus Simpson as Cisco is especially frustrating, considering how hard he fails at trying to be intimidating, speaking with a gravelly voice and glaring at everything in front of him. Note that Ryan Hurst's character on Bosch, Hector Bonner, was an exact replica of Cisco down to the outlaw biker background and succeeded at the role without any of the obvious chest pounding Simpson does.
The show strikes me as something I would see on CBS or NBC with more explicit language. Everything feels obvious, shiny and shallow, lacking the dirty noir tone of the McConaughey film or Bosch's gritty realism borrowing from The Wire. In fact, it is hard to believe Michael Connelly had any trace involvement with this show.
That being said, the show isn't bad by any stretch. The courtroom antics are amusing and the tension it solicits is decent. At one point, Haller puts a client up to assaulting him IN COURT to force a mistrial and get his client off. The crime drama elements also work well when Garcia-Rulfo is in the driver's seat, often working charisma alone to elevate a scene. But other than its lead, there isn't much to see for this show.
