Following the penultimate episode cliffhanger, along comes a highly entertaining, well-written and well-acted season finale that satisfyingly - for better or worse, depending on the characters involved - wraps up all the storylines that have unfolded in the previous nine The Lincoln Lawyer episodes, ever since criminal defence lawyer Mickey Haller, fresh off a drug addiction post-surfing injury, had the Trevor Elliott murder case (and everything, sketchy and otherwise, that came with that high-profile assignment) dropped in his lap.
As there should be with a good show, there were a few plot twists and a couple of things happen that certainly open some pretty good possibilities for a second series that has been renewed for another ten episodes - still not enough! I liked that there was just enough of a cliffhanger to whet the appetite for the show's sophomore season.
Props to the cast, especially the very engaging Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller and Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson.
More people should know about this show, because it's brilliant with a capital B. A big round of applause to all involved, especially Michael Connelly, whose literary genius started it all.
