Done With The Lincoln Lawyer? Here Are 7 Shows to Binge Next
While you wait for the inevitable news that season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer will go ahead, you can still get your legal fix with these binge-worthy shows.
And to give you a heads up, we've included their Rotten Tomatoes scores.
7. Ally McBeal (68% at Rotten Tomatoes)
One of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time and a true classic. Calista Flockhart plays the eponymous character who has to juggle her legal career with a love triangle between her, her ex and his new wife. Perhaps more a show about the relationship between the three than a legal drama, it nonetheless fits the brief.
6. The Recruit (84% at Rotten Tomatoes)
A legal drama with a bit of movie thrown in. Noah Centineo plays Owen Hendrick, a new CIA lawyer who uncovers a vast web of lies and deceit - along with the small matter of a potential leak of classified government information.
5. How to Get Away With Murder (89% at Rotten Tomatoes)
Viola Davis became the first black woman to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in this show. Davis plays Annalise Keating, a criminal defence lawyer and professor who, along with her students, becomes embroiled in a murder plot.
4. Why Women Kill (89% at Rotten Tomatoes)
This dark comedy-drama follows the lives of several fictional women (from different time periods) who kill. There are only two seasons and each is very different. But it's not your average crime drama, and it's worth a watch.
3. Bosch (97% on Rotten Tomatoes)
Interestingly, the title character, Harry Bosch, was created by author Michael Connelly, who also wrote The Lincoln Lawyer book series. And Bosch is Mickey Haller's half-brother. So this is a must-see for fans of The Lincoln Lawyer.
2. Jury Duty (97% at Rotten Tomatoes)
Very different from any other legal procedural, but definitely a binge-worthy show. Ronald Gladden is an ordinary member of the public dragged into this fake reality show about the justice system. Everyone else in the show is an actor - but Ronald has no idea. And as you can imagine, some pretty crazy things happen. Like actor James Marsden appearing on the panel and doing a great job of parodying himself.
1. Better Call Saul (98% at Rotten Tomatoes)
Bob Odenkirk stars in this drama/black comedy from the Breaking Bad franchise. Jimmy McGill is a con artist who wants to go clean and become a lawyer. But things don't go quite as planned. And even on the right side of the law, there's always the lure of easy buck.
