    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.

    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

    I was certain there would be something in the fish.

    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.

    Finally got to watching this
    I like it.
    I binged through Seasons 1 and 2 this weekend
    and will probably finish season 3 today

    The Main Character sounds like a Spanish Gerard Butler
    but kind of reminds me of younger Russell crow darker hair)

    I've been slow watching Season 3. Kind of just meh compared to the first two, IMO. At least so far.

    Funny, I thought season 2 was dragging, yet season 3 was much better. Funny how that goes

    I just finished the episode where Haller visits the prison. Maybe it takes off from there and ditches the formula it seems to be following?

    IDK, it's still watchable.. I'm probably salty about Bosch being canned.

    Yep. Legacy was abruptly cancelled and will be no more after this season. Apparently Amazon is all about commercials now and wants shows they can easily pitch to advertisers.

    That's why I refuse to watch anything Amazon based without an ad blocker. They ain't getting advertising money from me.

    I would sleep better at night if I could block their ads.
