The Lincoln Lawyer - Netflix

[KAB]

It's best if you try to forget the McConahey movte. This serise is closer to what Michael McConnely wrote. It's well cast, well timed and just a delight to watch. I'm on 8 of 10. McConnley has two characters Streaming (LL & Bosch). McConnely also does a cameo if you can catch it.

Next up for me after I finish Picard.

I will never catch up, there is just so much I want to watch.

I finished. It's really a good show with a great cast (Neve Campbell outside Scream) and Becky Newton. I put it up there with Reacher.

I am in episode 5. The Mickey Haller with a accented voice is really messing with my head; not because of the McConaughey film (which I think was great), but because of all of the audio books of the Haller novels. Just a tad bit of cognitive dissonance.

I like the Lorna character - of course - what is NOT to like - and Cisco too, although he seems a tad "small."

I love that this is faithful to the book, and not a mashup like the Bosch series which really turned me off.

The jury selection episode was great; I really hope they do a season on the Fifth Witness. One of my favorite books, and one I have taught in class.

Watched the first two episodes last night. Seems to be exactly as i remember the book. I like it so far. The Lincoln SUV doesn't feel right though instead of sedans.

Agreed. The SUV seems wrong. Lol

Also 2 episodes in, some changes, but faithful to the book.

Yeah, it's quite good.

Enjoyed it quite a bit. 4 more Haller books according to my list. Wonder what they will do about the Bosch appearance in several?

Finished it. Liked it a lot. the court scenes were great. Covered a lot of ground in the last episode.

It would be fun to see a Netflix/Amazon crossover.

From what I’ve read, that is highly doubtful.

I remember something like that when Lincoln Lawyer was announced. I don't know the stories can be told without him so they will need to cast someone else for the part.

Awkward!

2 Episodes left for us, started The Brass Verdict this morning on way to work, pretty close so far...

Awkward!

Almost as awkward as having Mickey with such a pronounced accent. They could have him hire a PI, it doesn't have to be Bosch. But who knows.

I just downloaded my copy to listen again.

 

[dfergie]

That's what I did, will probably end up listening to them all again...
Took me awhile to get used to, but I think the casting is pretty much spot on.

The trial scenes were incredible, I truly hope they do The Fifth Witness.
