Featured reviews
Very bold to give Manuel Garcia-Rulfo the lead... and it seems that it's hard for a lot of folks to take in... but his soft approach does the job and he's a great fit for LA. It seems that the entire character development was a gamble... I think one that will pay off in the long run. I should give it a 7... but it gets a 9 to counter balance the folks who are just plain wrong. I finished the series in 3 sittings... liked it a lot.
For those of us who like lawyer/police/detective stories, this was perfect. I couldn't stop watching, and very tempted to give it an even better star rating ... (I may come back and change it, but I'm generally stingy in that area).
In general, anything I've read or seen by Michael Connelly has been very good.
Don't understand why there are some bad reviews. Can't wait for more Lincoln Lawyer series.

The Lincoln Lawyer was actually better than I expected. I never read the books this was based off of but I did watch the Matthew McConaughey movie and thought it was pretty good but not worth making a series over. I really expected this to be some low budget rip off. I couldn't have been more wrong. I actually enjoyed it more than the movie. I wasn't going to watch it until I saw all the great reviews and that it was one of the most watched series of the year for Netflix. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo does a good job as the lead and Becky Newton, Neve Campbell, Angus Sampson, among others all do a fantastic job in supporting roles. While it's not the best lawyer show you'll ever see, it's definitely still worth watching.
Very watchable
The Storyline is perhaps a little predictable but none the poorer for this. A few twists and turns as is typical of the genre. I like the portrayal of the family and work dynamics.
For those that saw the movie, the TV series may seem somewhat lighter in delivery, however, it remains engaging ... well worth watching.

Ok i just finished this show and i am still not understanding why people have given it low ratings. It deserves at least 8-8.5 for sure.
I was very skeptical about watching this because of low ratings and not so good reviews but i thought let's give a try to couple of episodes and then decide.
I end up watching 6 episodes in a go.
I have seen THE LINCOLN LAWYER movie and we all loved Matthew McConaughey so Manuel Garcia-Rulfo was looking like a wrong cast.
I think he is also one of the reasons not enough people are watching this show because he is not a big name but he is actually good as The Lincoln Lawyer.
I liked his acting and surely will check out his other work as i also don't know him much.
And about the show it has all the ingredients for a crime thriller drama.
The acting,the pacing of the show and the production everything is good.
If you like shows like BOSCH or other court-room shows give it a try and you will end up liking it.
Waiting for the 2nd season.
Let's hope Netflix won't cancel it.
It deserves more attention & love than it's getting.
Some movies and shows get unnecessary hate and this show is one of them.
