The third season of The Lincoln Lawyer feels wonderfully familiar Fortunately, Netflix did not split the third season of The Lincoln Lawyer into two parts like last year, but immediately made all episodes available on October 17, 2024. After more than a year of waiting, we are now presented with ten beautiful episodes.
We first see main character Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, From Dusk to Dawn: The Series) in a number of flashbacks from his early years with his future (first) wife, after which we see his team passing by again in the present day in Los Angeles. . His (second) ex-wife Lorna (Becki Newton, Divorce) manages the law practice and is busy preparing for her final exams for the legal profession. She has now remarried to Cisco (Angus Sampson, Fargo), the office's reliable, resourceful detective.
Ex-addict Izzy Letts (Jazz Raycole, My Wife and Kids) used to be Mickey Haller's driver, but now works for Mickey in her own dance studio and office. The driver vacancy is quickly filled, adding another colorful character to the cast. I also liked that the now 86-year-old Hollywood veteran Elliot Gould (most recently starring in Ray Donovan) again plays a fine guest role as a sounding board, mentor and discussion partner for Mickey Haller.
The second season ended on a cliffhanger.
The second season ended on a cliffhanger. Mickey Haller got a call from Julian LaCosse from jail. He has been arrested for murder, but claims to be innocent. I expected this possible new customer to have a connection with the lawsuit against Lisa Trammell from the second season, but it turns out to be different. It is a murder case that goes back to both the first and second seasons and this time it affects Mickey Haller very personally.
Revealing more of the plot would immediately destroy the tension from the first episode, so no more about that in this review. My advice would also be to only watch this season's trailer after the first episode. The episodes form a beautiful whole and although the approach and the way in which the story is told has similarities with the first two seasons, there is nothing wrong with that. It ends again with a wonderful cliffhanger, I think it cannot be missed or there will be a fourth season.
Creators David E. Kelley (Chicago Hope) and Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) follow the books of writer Michael Connelly (who is also the brain behind the character Bosch) for the developments in the series. So if you as a viewer want to know what a possible fourth season could mean, it is recommended to read his sixth book 'The Law of Innocence'. Perhaps that contains a large part of the plot of the fourth season? With such fascinating characters and exciting developments, surely there will be a sequel to this beautiful legal drama series?
