Who else is glued to The Lincoln Lawyer? I'm just about to watch the last episode of Season 1 and, I don't mind telling you, am absolutely hooked. Based on the Michael Connelly novels they follow LA based defence lawyer Mickey Haller and the various cases, large and small, that fall into his lap. Stylishly filmed its teaming with establishing shots of Los Angeles - the Hollywood Hills, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Mulholland Drive and a host of other groovy locations besides. The dialogue is snappy, the story lines leave no twist unturned and it's got a classy soundtrack to boot. If you have been making a date with LL let me know what you think - but, please, no plot spoilers!

With detective stories I find that when I have read the books first I often don't enjoy the TV series as much, partly because none of the characters ever look like I have imagined them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this series but in the books Mickey is frequently described as dishevelled and not a tie wearer, which doesn't really fit this stylish dude.
I hear you. It's why I don't watch Slow Horses; I know what Jackson Lamb looks like and it's not how he looks on the telly.

ReplyDeleteSeems a bit drastic. Season 1 is from 2022 - Biden was at the helm then.
