The series also stars Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, and Christopher Gorham in major roles. Kelley ( Big Little Lies), The Lincoln Lawyer stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, the titular lawyer. Developed by Ted Humphrey ( The Good Wife) and created by David E. But despite working from the back of his car, Haller specializes in taking up cases that are complex and might often question one’s morality. The plot follows Mickey Haller, a morally ambiguous defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln Town Car rather than an office like you would see regular lawyers do. Not to be confused with the 2011 movie, which was the first adaptation of the character, the legal drama series is based on Connelly’s 2008 book The Brass Verdict, the second book in the Lincoln Lawyer series. (This season is based largely on Connelly’s second Haller book, The Brass Verdict.)īut Mickey’s immediate attention goes to Jerry’s biggest case: the upcoming double murder trial of Trevor Elliott (Christopher Gorham), a billionaire video-game creator charged with killing his wife and her yoga teacher after catching them in the sack in their Malibu mansion.The new series The Lincoln Lawyer marks the second adaptation of the fictional lawyer created by bestselling author, Michael Connelly. Who killed Jerry, and why, is one plot arc through the series’ 10 episodes.
Jerry was a friend, but they weren’t close, so Mickey is mystified as to why Vincent signed a will giving Mickey the practice - and then, 10 days later, was murdered in his office building’s parking lot. He’s unsure where to turn until he finds out he’s just inherited the practice of another lawyer, Jerry Vincent. He’s clean now, but his practice is in shambles. As the series begins, he’s trying to get back on his feet after a year in which he suffered serious injuries in a surfing accident and then got addicted to pain medication. Haller can be brooding when he’s not charming everyone in the room. Born in Mexico, he also more closely resembles the character in Connelly’s books - Haller’s mother was Mexican. One of Mickey’s trademark characteristics is charm, and Garcia-Rulfo has it to spare. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo takes over the role in the series, and he’s note-perfect.
A 2011 movie based on the first Haller novel shares this series’ title, and many fans will remember Matthew McConaughey as Mickey in that film.
