The relationships of the main character with his assistants, driver, ex-wives, daughter and the police detective are all pretty compelling. His courtroom style is also very engaging. The acting, the pacing of the The Lincoln Lawyer and the production are all good.
It’s not hard to judge why The Lincoln Lawyer is so popular on Netflix. All the storyline, and likeable characters make the show intriguing to watch. Rulfo is charming and personable as Haller. He makes the audience as well as the court laugh with his one liners.
I haven’t seen the lead actor actually play lead in anything that I can recall, although he has shown up in some extraordinary films over the past decade. He exceedingly captured the role and did it well. I believe we witness a long overdue opportunity for him. Surprisingly, he embodies the hero lawyer essence that is the utmost requirement for this role. The success of The Lincoln Lawyer hinges on this factor alone.
The multiple storylines creates interest in the show. Most episodes there is a smaller case that Haller must win. But there’s also a big case he has to solve along with other plots. So far The Lincoln Lawyer has two seasons. The shooting of the third season has started and will probably come by the end of this year.

My verdict for The Lincoln Lawyer is if you like legal dramas, give it a try. You will end up liking this.
My Rating: 4/5
