Mentioned in Shrine of Telly: Week 3 (2022)
Lincoln’s lawyer was actually better than I expected. I haven’t read the books the series is based on, but I watched the Matthew McConaughey movie and thought it was pretty good, but not worth making a series about. I really expected it to be some kind of low-budget heist.
I couldn’t have been more wrong
I actually liked it more than the movie. I wasn’t going to watch it until I saw all the great reviews and the fact that it was one of the most watched Netflix series of the year. Manuel García-Rulfo does a good job in the title role and Becky Newton, Neve Campbell, Angus Sampson and others do a great job in the supporting roles.
