The Lincoln Lawyer will park his titular ride on your screens on Friday, May 13, when Netflix premieres David E. Kelley’s take on novelist Michael Connelly’s legal eagle.
The 10-episode first season, which is based on the second book in Connelly’s Lincoln Lawyer series, The Brass Verdict, follows Mickey Haller, an iconoclastic idealist who runs his practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car as he takes on cases big and small across the city of Los Angeles.
