Avvocato di difesa

Ok i just finished this show and i am still not understanding why people have given it low ratings. It deserves at least 8-8.5 for sure.

I was very skeptical about watching this because of low ratings and not so good reviews but i thought let's give a try to couple of episodes and then decide.

I end up watching 6 episodes in a go.

I have seen THE LINCOLN LAWYER movie and we all loved Matthew McConaughey so Manuel Garcia-Rulfo was looking like a wrong cast.

I think he is also one of the reasons not enough people are watching this show because he is not a big name but he is actually good as The Lincoln Lawyer.

I liked his acting and surely will check out his other work as i also don't know him much.

And about the show it has all the ingredients for a crime thriller drama.

The acting,the pacing of the show and the production everything is good.

If you like shows like BOSCH or other court-room shows give it a try and you will end up liking it.

Waiting for the 2nd season.

Let's hope Netflix won't cancel it.

It deserves more attention & love than it's getting.

Some movies and shows get unnecessary hate and this show is one of them.

For those of us who like lawyer/police/detective stories, this was perfect. I couldn't stop watching, and very tempted to give it an even better star rating ... (I may come back and change it, but I'm generally stingy in that area).

In general, anything I've read or seen by Michael Connelly has been very good.

Don't understand why there are some bad reviews. Can't wait for more Lincoln Lawyer series.

Very watchable The Storyline is perhaps a little predictable but none the poorer for this. A few twists and turns as is typical of the genre. I like the portrayal of the family and work dynamics.

For those that saw the movie, the TV series may seem somewhat lighter in delivery, however, it remains engaging ... well worth watching.

A drug rehabilitated lawyer with two ex-wives a daughter and penchant for cars is thrust front-and-centre into a high profile case following the death of a friend. This comes complete with a practice and more secondary cases than he can cope with.

This intriguing premise sets up an opportunity-filled backdrop for a legal procedural series. The show takes this, adds a strong cast, well crafted and delivered dialogue and an interesting plot and runs with it at a good pace.

Some cinematography choices are awkward, particularly the shots with variable focus and some orange casts, though overall it functions as required. Mickey's driver, Izzy is often used as a plot explanation device, but despite being obvious, feels natural and in keeping with the storytelling.

This is end-to-end engaging, entertaining and enjoyable - highly recommended.

As a lawyer, I must say The Lincoln Lawyer delivers a courtroom drama that's engaging and relatable, though not without its flaws. Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, is a charismatic attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln, navigating complex cases and the gritty underbelly of Los Angeles. The show does an excellent job blending legal manoeuvring with personal drama, giving viewers a glimpse into the challenges of balancing justice and the lawyer's life.

What stands out most is how accurately it captures the unpredictability of legal work-negotiations, client dilemmas, and the pressure to stay sharp under scrutiny. That said, some aspects are dramatized for entertainment, and a few courtroom moments stray into overly simplistic territory. Real law is messier, slower, and often less glamorous, but I can forgive these liberties for the sake of storytelling.

The pacing can falter in parts, and some supporting characters feel underdeveloped, but Mickey's charm and determination carry the show. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining and offers enough legal authenticity to keep someone like me intrigued.

As a lawyer, I'd say this series earns a solid 7/10. It's a good watch, even if it's not quite the real deal.
