Call Mickey Haller
Story
Need a lawyer? He’s finishing up his law practice in Lincoln and ready to hit the gas. As he travels around Los Angeles, he takes on cases while balancing his personal life, which includes being a father and having two ex-wives. A series commitment was originally agreed upon with CBS for 2020, but was canceled shortly before the first episode was to be filmed due to COVID. . It has now been picked up by Netflix for a 10-episode first season based on Mickey Haller’s second book, The Brass Verdict. Mickey Haller owns several cars, all with personalized California license plates and with legal status. In California, personalized license plates can have a maximum of seven letters/numbers, but all Mickey plates have a minimum of eight.
Referred to Shrine of Telly: Week 3 (2022)
I liked the movie, but I think I like the show more. You take a decent movie like this and make an adaptation that surpasses it overall is a huge feat. There is no doubt that they spent a lot of money on this series. The background, the dialogue, the story, everything is top notch. Don’t expect it to be like the movie, because it’s not meant to be, and don’t compare it to the novels (apples to oranges). I haven’t seen the lead actor (Garcia-Rulfo) play a leading role in anything I can remember, even though he has appeared in some amazing movies over the past decade. He fits the role perfectly and I think we are seeing the opportunity he has been waiting for. Amazingly, he embodies the essence of the hero lawyer that the role requires (as does McConaughey).
She can’t fail
I think the success of the series depends on this factor alone. Neve Campbell is fantastic as always. The rest of the supporting cast is fine, IMO. At least they don’t necessarily detract from the experience. It’s been years since we’ve had great legal series like The Practice (David E. Kelley), Boston Legal (David E. Kelley), Ally McBeal. (David E.
Kelley), The Good Wife (not Kelley), now The Lincoln Lawyer (David E
Kelley). If it stands the test of time like all his previous courtroom dramas, it will surpass anything currently on the air (in its genre, of course). The first 30 minutes were the same experiences I remember from years ago. When they first came out we could only watch one episode a week, but now, in the age of binge-watching, I can do it all in a weekend. I have spent most of my life with all of David E. Kelley’s work/production and I don’t regret a single moment of my wasted youth. I just have one question: why did they wait so long to produce another great one? Sure, but it’s a staple these days and whether we like it or not, the entertainment industry body is married to this “culture.” Accept it and move on, otherwise you’ll be denying yourself some credit, like the Lincoln Lawyer.
