Call Mickey Haller
Tale
Need a lawyer? He runs his law firm from his Lincoln and is ready to hit the ground running. Moving around Los Angeles, he takes cases while balancing a personal life that includes being a father and having two ex-wives. Originally created with CBS for a series commitment in 2020, it was canceled shortly before filming the first episode due to COVID.
Mentioned in Shrine of Telly: Week 3 (2022)
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 has several cars, all with personalized California license plates with legal terms on them. Personalized California plates allow a maximum of seven letters/numbers, but all of Mickey’s plates have at least eight. Okay, I just finished this show and I still don’t understand why people gave it low ratings. It definitely deserves at least an 8-8.5.
I ended up watching 6 episodes in a row
I was very skeptical about watching it because of the low ratings and not so good reviews but I thought I would give it a try for a couple of episodes and then decide. I saw the movie THE LINCOLN LAWYER and we all loved Matthew McConaughey so Manuel Garcia-Rulfo seemed like the wrong cast. I think that’s also one of the reasons why not enough people watch this series because he’s not a big name but he’s actually good like The Lincoln Lawyer. I liked his acting and will definitely watch his other work since I don’t know him that much.
Waiting for season 2
And as for the series it has all the ingredients for a crime thriller drama. The acting, the pacing of the series and the production are all good. If you like series like BOSCH or other court series, give it a try and you will end up liking it. Hopefully Netflix won’t cancel it.
It deserves more attention and love than it’s getting
Some movies and shows get unnecessary hate and this show is one of them.
