Critics Consensus

The Lincoln Lawyer's second season settles down in style and tone but delivers its fast-paced drama with entertaining flair.

It’s an old-school type of television show. And its formula, cleverly updated and executed, still works.

2.5/4

The series once again juggles a big, ongoing case alongside cases that Mickey dispatches with relative speed.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo brings a mischievous smile and perceptive intelligence to Haller. His sense of humor buoys scenes.

To my shame, I had my doubts about Manuel Garcia-Ruffo, the Mexican actor who plays the title role in The Lincoln Lawyer... Now I cannot imagine anyone else playing him.

Part legal drama, part relationship drama, and easily consumable in its network television-style format and tone, The Lincoln Lawyer has style and wit in addition to great chemistry between its core cast.

75%. 3/30/26. Just a bit worse than the first season. I enjoyed the case but didn’t like how Mickey and Lisa’s relationship started and they sort of started to see each other and then all of a sudden he was being her lawyer for free on a criminal murder trial. Still entertaining, just not as good as the first season.

Well written, good pace, interesting support, but I just can't get passed the lead. Which, I feel bad for saying.

If you watched Bosch and expected this to be similar, you're going to be really disappointed. The main character is just so boring as lead actor is so uncharismatic

Wasn’t my favorite season but still entertaining!

Just horrible writing. Lazy narratives, incredibly hard to believe stories and coincidences. No depth.
