Call Mickey Haller
Synopsis
Do you need a lawyer? He’s finished practicing law in his Lincoln and is ready to hit the gas. As he moves around Los Angeles, he investigates cases while balancing his personal life, which includes a father and two ex-wives.
Mickey Haller owns several cars, each with personalized California license plates, as required by law
Originally set up in 2020 with a CBS series commitment, it was canceled due to COVID just before filming the first episode. . Netflix has now picked it up for a 10-episode first season, based on Mickey Haller’s second book, The Brass Verdict.

California personalized plates allow up to seven letters/numbers, but all Mickey plates have a minimum of eight. Lincoln’s lawyer was better than I expected. I’ve never read the books it’s based on, but I’ve seen the Matthew McConaughey movie and thought it was pretty good, but not worth making into a series.
I couldn’t have been more wrong
I really expected it to be a bit of a budget scam. I actually liked it better than the movie. I didn’t watch it until I saw the great reviews and that it was one of the most watched shows of the year on Netflix.
While it’s not the best lawyer show you’ll ever see, it’s definitely worth checking out
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo does a good job in the title role, and Becky Newton, Neve Campbell, Angus Sampson and others give great supporting roles.
