Call Mickey Haller
Line of Events
Need a lawyer? He’s finishing up his law practice in Lincoln and is ready to hit the gas. As he travels through Los Angeles, he takes on cases while balancing his private life, which includes being a father and having two ex-wives. CBS originally had a series commitment for 2020, but it was canceled shortly before the first episode was filmed due to COVID. . Now it’s been picked up by Netflix for a 10-episode first season based on Mickey Haller’s second book, The Brass Verdict. Mickey Haller has several cars, all with personalized California license plates with legal conditions. In California, personalized 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 better. You take a decent movie like this, and to make an adaptation that surpasses it overall is a huge undertaking. No doubt they spent a lot of money on this series. The background, dialogues, story are all 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) actually play the lead in anything that I can recall, although he’s appeared in some remarkable films over the past decade. He fits the role perfectly, and I believe we’re seeing the opportunity he’s been waiting for. Surprisingly, he embodies the essence of the hero lawyer that the role requires (as does McConaughey).
It cannot function
I think the success of the series depends only on this factor. Neve Campbell is great as always. The rest of the support is satisfactory, IMO. At least they don’t necessarily detract from the experience. It’s been years since we 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 (for the genre, of course). In the first 30 minutes, I had the same experiences I remember years ago. We used to only be able to watch one episode a week when they were released, but now, in the age of binge-watching, I manage 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 moment of my misspent 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 organism of the entertainment industry is wedded to this ‘culture’.
Accept it and move on, or you’ll be giving up some well-deserved indulgences like Lincoln’s lawyer
