The Lincoln Lawyer Series Review

"You're not guilty of the charge doesn't mean you're innocent for everything",

~Mickey Haller


Nothing beats series with characters who knows when to walk and when to sit, it spices up the series that you just can't drop it regardless of how tight your schedule is, not to talk of when the plot is golden, hehe.

It's not yet weekend for movies but what happens when you get an interesting series that gets dragged into the weekdays?
You obviously have to finish it in my books, to be more productive and stop imagining what happened at the end which most times never happened, lol.

It was my case with this series, The Lincoln Lawyer, It reminded me so much of the series I've watched and enjoyed before, Suits,* just that this time around, instead of the lead actor Mickey Haller avoiding court rooms, he wanted to get there unlike Harvey Spectre who will do everything for his case to get settled outside the court rooms in the Suits series.

The series is based on trust, well, I guess it's a legal series so there's got to be one before handing over your case to a lawyer but that wasn't all it meant....
The trust of Jerry leaving all his cases in the hands of Mickey after his death despite him just recovering from addiction...

The trust of Mickey giving Izzy a second chance despite knowing fully well that addiction isn't an easy battle


You know what the brain buster in this series was?
For me it was the constant act of Mickey been used.
At the end of the two major trials which he won, on the second look, he will discover he had been set up all these while for the clients to achieve their own personal gain....
Mickey is a great lawyer and he isn't one who fights glaring evidences but one who instills doubt with every opportunity he's got with the conviction that the God's of guilt (The Jury) might fall for it, hehehe.
He's not just afraid to take that one shot regardless of how small his chances were.

Was it the second case, errm, You know what made this case crazy?

Your client whom you're defending sending thugs to beat you up to the extent of you getting admitted in the hospital just for you to keep barking at the wrong tree and then showing up at the hospital the next morning with packs of food for your recovery 😂
That was what Lisa Trammell did to Haller, well, that's a replica of doing everything to win isn't it?

Elliott Gould who played the role of Legal, a veteran actor was there as a guide to Haller despite his expertise especially when he's got into some clash with his job ethics and conscience as human, we were humans before our jobs anyway... I guess experience has got a place in all, hehe.

On the other side just like many successful persons out there, Mickey had a shabby social and family life as he keeps getting divorced because he always prioritizes his job over them whereas there ought to be a balance, no mystery Legal ended the series by saying to him,

"Never you sacrifice so much for your job because it's going to leave you a male spinster, you'll be lonely at the end just like me"

Although I'm forced to ask the question if there was ever going to be a balance when the marriage was with a lawyer and a prosecutor; contradicting jobs, lol.

I think giving this series a 9.5/10 would be very least from me because it's got the element for 10/10 actually, lol.
It's a very short one, just two seasons with 10 episodes each with lots of lessons and philosophical quotes to learn so I know you'll definitely enjoy it when you decide to see it.


Thanks for reading and have a nice day...

I found the series quite entertaining, the development of the perosnaj is very good, as he goes from being nobody to being well known, but with a well premeditated plan.

Vi un tráiler sobre esta serie y aunque no me llamó mucho la atención si tiene una trama bastante interesante
