My initial thoughts- Hard for anyone to replace Matthew McConaughey. Not sure why they made Lorna hot. She doesn’t look like someone who would be dating a tattooed biker (ex con?) like Cisco. Edit - Before anyone craps on me. I’m not saying tattooed biker dudes with felonies can’t date hot chicks but from reading the books I always imagined Lorna to be a biker chick too (opposite of the professional Maggie).
Saw it, and it's far better than the film. McConaughey was miscast in a lousy movie. He's great, I'm a huge fan, but I've read the novels and the series, actually based on the second "Lincoln Lawyer" novel by Michael Connelly (they are terrific reads, btw), not the first, is vastly better. Didn't see this earlier, @Smokey, or I would have put in my 2 cents. This is my 2 cents.
It's watchable. Liked the Lead. The Prosecutor. Lorna. Wife. The Prosecutor is where the story should hover. He's interesting. Did not Like the Laslow biker Dude. It didn't feel right. Especially with him marrying who should be the love interest. Did not have an interest in the Daughter. The chemistry was missing in parts, felt disconnected, though it was getting better, but as the chemistry started to get better, the plot became a little predictable. They should have let the baddie get away with it. The ending was a little too convenient. They haven't quite put it all together. Overall tho', they did suck me into it. So they have a chance to elevate.
I didn’t realize the script was based on the Brass Verdict. I’m sure they’ll do a season 2. I wonder which book is next. Spoiler Kind of far fetched the defendant used a drone to get rid of the evidence while waiting for the police to arrive. Also being murdered at the press conference lol
His novels can get pretty silly, too. Black Ice was good...what was the one where the Hollywood guy sets him up at some sort of Chuck-E-Cheese amusement park thing, using his SFX skills as a movie guy? I think both the movie and show are "ok" or "better". Bosch is really good, though.
