THE LINCOLN LAWYER SEASON 1-3

 Hey Binge-Watchers,

Wanting to watch an interesting legal show where a lawyer rises from rock bottom to being a decent trustworthy top tier attorney who brings up a dead defense lawyers practise from the ground up until he figures out what happens to him and why he got murdered? It's about Mickey Holler coming out on top to represent billions of clients with a legal team who is like family to him. This Mexican-American figures out cases and navigates the courtroom like it's his personal stage to get clients acquitted even if they're guilty. He is battling with addiction and staying on the straight and narrow while trying to form a relationship with his teen daughter. He works with his ex-wife Lorna and his PI Cisco who help him behind the scenes while he's jumping between court and working from his car the famous Lincoln. Getting a new driver who is a recovering addict helps him to recognise triggers to focus on managing his personal life against the stresses of working within a system that's corrupt and won't change no matter how hard he tries to keep within the rules and regulations of court, sometimes he's gotta colour outside the lines with leads to danger and people following him. His one regret haunts him when he gets an innocent man put in jail called Jesus Menendez when his star witness Glory Days ghosts him and leaves town because she's pressured by the police. Huge spoiler alert there. Getting a high profile case makes him question his client Trevor Elliot who spoiler alert killed his wife Lara Elliot and her lover Jan Rills, but he gets him off on a not guilty with the trial of the century. 

He uses tricks and tactics in the court room to get his point across while explaining to his driver how the 'gods of guilt' (AKA the jury operates). He explains all the moves he makes like a chess player moving the pawns around on the board to capture the king, queen, knights, and rooks. He talks about opening and closing statements and pleading the fifth, and about framing a person without being the one to do anything illegal. With conflicts of interest while defending Lisa Trammell a up and coming chef who is accused of killing Mitchell Bondurant a wealthy real estate developer, which goes into detail of a contractor having ties to organized crime. While she looks guilty by having the murder weapon spoiler alert- a hammer and gloves with blood spatters on them, he defends her to the point where he doesn't question anything about her life with her ex-husband. In the end\ he is crushed by the revelations she tells him about her ex. 

Season e is the best season because it shows how flawed the legal system is by having deep roots of corruption between the DEA and the police to frame a man who is suspected of Killing Glory Days. Mickey is threatened by the agent and is ran off the road. Faced with the guilt of his new driver Eddie Rojas and fractured relationships with his daughter he manages to win the trial that is gruelling and challenging for him as a lawyer as it tests him emotionally due to how personal and close to home it is. At the end of this season he is arrested. Major spoiler alert there. 

I'd rate this show 10/10. This show will have you hooked from the pilot episode and will leave you sitting at the edge of your seats as he fights with prosecution and DA's to g=cement his reputation in the courtroom and the media to paint him in a positive light. While going to meetings to maintain his sobriety to get him to a stable position on a mental level he goes to some of the best food spots in LA to bring him and his driver Izzy closer. You'll love this show and binge watch all the episodes. 

Some of my favourite characters are Lorna, Izzy, Mickey and Cisco. I think that Eddie was a great character too. Absolute five star acting really enjoyed the vibes from the characters in the show. I didn't like the police guy.  

There is another season coming! Can't wait to watch it. 

Enjoy.
