What to Know

Critics Consensus

David E. Kelley's adaptation of the The Lincoln Lawyer relies too much on quirk to paper over its lack of true novelty, but this is a reliable enough vehicle for fans of legal pulp.

It’s all entertainingly diverting, even if the series lacks the kind of existential bleakness, the self-conscious humourlessness... Go to Full Review

It’s a riveting, impressive new take on Michael Connelly’s novels that’s worth watching whether you’ve read them or not. Go to Full Review
Pete Vonder Haar Houston Press 09/16/2022
Developed by prolific producer David E. Kelley, <i>The Lincoln Lawyer</i> does build some steam as it goes, but the flow of the story too closely resembles the weekly procedural format that was pitched to CBS. Go to Full Review

Brian D @Brianwd2 Mar 23 76%. 3/21/26. Was very intrigued early, but then the season stalled out a bit. The production quality was pretty bad. Some weird cinematography. Also, the actors in the jury were terrible. Seemed like a pretty low cost production from NetSuite, so feel like this show could really take off in season 2. Definitely a fun season, though. See more Dana K. @dange5280 Mar 21 Micky Haller is great but other actors sub par. Was corny sometimes and could guess what was going to happen See more Matt S. @pcxdrone Mar 1 Mickey Haller is great. But Lorna and Cisco are insufferable. Michael Connely has done far better. Think BOSCH See more Cody C. @crossexotic Feb 26 This might be the worst acting I’ve ever seen and anyone saying otherwise could be convinced of anything. I thought the writing was solid, camerawork was fine. The acting just holds this back See more Justin H @permapug Feb 24 Great show, entertaining, good story, and good acting.
