Meet Manuel Garcia-Rulfo: Where you've seen hunky The Lincoln ... (HITC)

The Lincoln Lawyer has returned to our screens in a new form. A ten-part TV series has been released to Netflix starring Mexican actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo.

His passion for film developed when he became involved in High School productions. Connelly, who works as executive producer on the show, said: “Manuel is the ideal Mickey Haller, as Haller follows in the footsteps of his attorney father with the showmanship of his Mexican movie star mother. In the latest interpretation, Haller works as a criminal defence attorney who works from the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car.

Is The Lincoln Lawyer Connected To Bosch? (Screen Rant)

Bosch is an important character in the Lincoln Lawyer book series, so are the Bosch TV series and Netflix's Lincoln Lawyer series connected?

However, while echoes of Bosch will almost certainly exist in The Lincoln Lawyer, the two shows are ultimately not related. In the world of streaming, Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer are not related. The Bosch series debuted first in 1992 with The Black Echo and has made appearances in many more of Michael Connelly's works since then.

'Ozark' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Show (Forbes)

McConaughey is not the lawyer in question this time around, as that is actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. I don't know him offhand, but he's been in Neflix's 6 ...

I do not suspect that is going to be The Lincoln Lawyer itself, as the tone is not even close to the same, but any kind of hit would be good news for them all the same. We’ll have to see what kind of legs The Lincoln Lawyer has, and if it’s a flash in the pan, or if Netflix has found their own Reacher or Better Call Saul. Netflix has had a rough stretch of time with subscriber loss and questions about its content lineup. But yes, starring in the #1 show on Netflix in the US is certainly the biggest move of his career, no doubt. The series is based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling books about a lawyer who runs a practice out of his Lincoln Town Car. The show is reviewing decently well, a 76% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and a very solid 92% audience score. It’s just nice to see Ozark pass the crown to another scripted drama than a reality show.

“They bet on a guy that has an accent portraying Mickey Haller ... (Netflix Junkie)

In the new Netflix Original series, The Lincoln Lawyer, Manuel Garcia Rulfo kills it with his ethnic accent.

In a recent LA Times interview, Michael was asked a few things related to the show and his role. The show is surely not the best that has come out of Netflix, but it’s not a complete throwaway either. In the show, Garcia plays Mickey Haller, a sidelined lawyer. Following several rejections in Hollywood, Garcia returned to Mexico. His acting skills found recognition as he got a few local Spanish projects under his belt. After the most extended wait, the crime-thriller starring Manuel Garcia Rulfo is finally here and is proving to be a surprise for the critics. An American actor was less likely to ace it even though Spanish wasn’t a prerequisite for the casting.

Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer excels at feeling like old-fashioned ... (PRIMETIMER)

"The 10-part Netflix original series The Lincoln Lawyer is set in the present day and the title character is indeed an attorney, but it has the ...

It's a modern-day Knight Rider: "Micky Haller is the Lincoln Lawyer. Why? Because he likes to work while being driven round in his Lincoln town car rather than at a desk," says Lucy Mangan. "How come? Garcia-Rulfo wanted to ensure that Los Angeles' Latino life was represented: The Lincoln Lawyer role wasn't written for a specific ethnicity, so when the Mexican actor was happy "that they bet on a guy that has an accent portraying Mickey Haller." But was there cultural specificity in the scripts? The Lincoln Lawyer combines the best of network and streaming: "It’s even guided by an old network TV pro: David E. Kelley, known for his work on legal shows like L.A. Law, Ally McBeal, and The Practice, among others," says Jesse Hassenger. None of this is necessarily a bad thing. Kelley-ready components make this iteration of The Lincoln Lawyer a bingeable, highly enthralling piece of entertainment: "Nearly every component of this legal drama—including its lovable characters, fascinating cases, gleeful fourth-wall breaks by Haller explains his strategy, whiz-bang pacing, and bright, clean cinematography—makes for easily digestible episodes, especially as Gorham and Campbell play larger roles," says Robert Daniels. "The two add dependable, workmanlike melodramatic beats to otherwise subdued characters, while the series cleverly maneuvers for an anti-police (Haller doesn’t trust them at all) bent, and openly talks about addiction and recovery. And that show, as with other Kelley properties, had a dynamic lead; Garcia-Rulfo is an appealing performer, but he’s surprisingly low-key." Because he hates the restrictions of an office and because characteristics are easier than character, that’s why. None of that is a substitute for a compelling title character or a consistently propulsive narrative, which happen to be key things Connelly’s fans will be hoping for." Created by David E. Kelley, who plans to wring out his affinity for the genre to no end, it’s meant to be reminiscent of his early work like The Practice or Ally McBeal," says Saloni Gajjar. "Except in 2022, it just feels incredibly dated, like it should’ve aired on network TV in the aughts. Its appeal comes from being something familiar done very well, and it's the kind of series Netflix should be making all the time." "The 10-part Netflix original series The Lincoln Lawyer is set in the present day and the title character is indeed an attorney, but it has the comfort-viewing vibe of the classic hourlong cop and private-eye dramas of the 1970s and 1980s, e.g., The Rockford Files, McCloud, Magnum, P.I. and Baretta,” says Richard Roeper. "It contains many of the familiar elements and characters from those shows, including a likable anti-hero, the traditional authority figures who are always throwing up obstacles, the rogue sidekick and a rotating gallery of colorful suspects. Fienberg adds: "If you don’t think too hard about any of it, there are some acceptable twists that push you through the second half of The Lincoln Lawyer, while the first half is dominated by a varied and photogenic use of Los Angeles locations. The Lincoln Lawyer feels incredibly dated: "Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer will scratch the itch for anyone unexplainably hankering for a tedious, low-stakes legal drama.

Who's The Man With The Tattoo In Netflix's Lincoln Lawyer? (Screen Rant)

Mickey Haller tracks down Gloria Dayton (Fione Rene), a key witness that went missing when Jesus Menendez (Saul Huezo) was on trial for the murder of Martha ...

This would speed up a plotline that happens in later Mickey Haller books, and it would also give Haller a fresh reason to hate Louis Roulet quite so viscerally when he learns the truth, even with Menendez no longer in jail. In the Netflix adaptation, with the Martha Renteria case left unsolved, it is highly likely that the man with the tattoo in The Lincoln Lawyer season 1 is Louis Ross Roulet, or a version of that character who might receive a different name from the books. Dayton’s evidence at an appeal helps to get Menedez freed when she tells the story of having seen the killed and knowing that he is a man with a tattoo on his arm.
