re: The Lincoln Lawyer - Netflix

Stuck at home with covid so I watched this earlier this week. I definitely would have stopped after the first two episodes if I wasn't sick at home. The acting is just so bad.

Trevor Elliot was a horrendous character. He originally plays hardball like he has a bunch of lawyers begging to take his place. He demands the trial to continue on schedule and provides ZERO help to Mickey.

"Ugh, like what are you doing here Mickey? Can't you see that I'm busy playing with my drone? I don't have time for this meeting. YOU HAVE TO WIN THIS CASE, BOTH OF OUR LIVES DEPEND ON THIS THIS IS MY LEGACY!!!!" So stupid.

And how does taking the stand in your murder trial help protect your legacy? You look worse by getting up there and getting roasted. That did nothing to protect his legacy. It's like he didn't realize that helping your lawyer might actually be the best way to help protect your legacy.

Not the worst series in the word, but there were some really bad characters and it was pretty predictable.
