California personalized plates allow a maximum of seven letters/numbers, but all Mickey plates have a minimum of eight. Lincoln Lawyer was actually better than I expected. I’ve never read the books this is based on, but I did see the Matthew McConaughey movie and thought it was pretty good, but not worth remaking the series.
I couldn’t have been more wrong
I was really expecting this to be some low budget heist. 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 Netflix’s most watched shows of the year.
While it’s not the best lawyer series you’ll ever see, it’s definitely worth watching
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo does a good job as the lead, and Becky Newton, Neve Campbell, Angus Sampson, among others, do fantastic supporting roles.
