    I enjoyed the film

    Dropped today for those who want to watch it alongside Bosch



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 323 ✭✭pjcb


    watched the film, it wasn't good, they played into McConaughey overconfidence for the plot but his ex wife still being gaga for him was too much.

    An enjoyable middle of the road slick David E Kelley series that will more than likely get a few seasons

    It needed some Bosch.

    Huge missed opportunity this.

    To compare this show with the job Amazon did with Bosch, its chalk and cheese. The cheese is in the Netflix show, the grit and substance is in the Amazon one. So disappointing from the same source material, the books give great scope to build characters around, but Netflix made a pigs ear out of it.

    It's grand, it'll pass the time, but no substance to it at all.

    Renewed for a second season.

    It will be based on the The Fifth Witness book.

    Season 2 is going to be split into two parts.

    Part 1 drops July 6th and part 2 drops August 3rd.

    Watched the first 5 episodes and like this season so far.

    Not sure if the client is guilty or not, like the first season. Will find out in less than a month.

    But they do seem to be implying she is, so likely isn't.

    I like when they have the smaller cases like the guy breaking into the house and the graffiti case.

    And I know it's based on the book, so hopefully will be avoiding spoilers.

    I only came across this series recently, I knew nothing about it but it looked like a good watch for the airplane on my holidays and it was perfect for that. Flew threw season one and two, I think I preferred the first series. That said, I might have to go read the books after this!

    Yes I am looking forward to it :)

    Good second half to the season.

    It just an easy watch with a good cast.

    Season 3 set up as well if it gets renewed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Renewed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,911 ✭✭✭Trampas


    Thought second half of season 2 was a bit drawn out. Plenty of filler to make it to 10 episodes



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 23,248 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    enjoyed the second half of the season, but could have cut an episode off it making no difference. In todays streaming age would it make much difference



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


     The Lincoln Lawyer has added Wolé Parks (Superman & Lois), Michael Irby (Barry) and Maisie Klompus (Good Trouble) in recurring roles for Season 3. Additionally, Jon Tenney will reprise his Season 1 role as Mickey’s father, Mickey Haller, Sr.

    Really enjoyable season. Interesting set up for next season.

    His sister hasn't been mentioned in the books before.

    On the spoiler

    Boards won't let use the spoiler tag but since spoilers are in the thread title I'll post anyway.

    Amazon own the rights to his half brother Bosch. So this is the replacement for Hieronymus Bosch I wonder will they go with Hieronyma Bosch or just call her Kate or Jenny or Mary.

    Really enjoyed this season, binged it over a few days. Doesn't try too hard to be too intense or dramatic, just has likeable characters and a plot that moves along at a decent pace. Easy watching.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,294 ✭✭✭ollaetta


    Yes, I agree with that. Always been a fan of the books and I enjoy the different take on the character in the TV show.

    Interesting point by Dexter above on the introduction of a sister character who was not in the books. Won't ever happen for the reason stated but what a shame the Bosch and Haller characters couldn't have guest appeared in each others shows.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭CiaranW


    Just finished the season. Really enjoyed it.
    I also really enjoy the other characters and I’m rooting for them.
    Looking forward to more!
