I was thrilled with "Bosch," happy with "Bosch: Legacy," and disappointed by "Ballard." Any way, Michael Connelly undoubtedly knows how to write gripping crime novels. Hoping that "Lincoln Lawyer" would be entertaining, I gave the series a chance. The stories themselves have potential. The series, however, less so. I feel sorry for the actor, but I'll say it anyway: The character Mickey Haller has two strengths: wit and charm. Three episodes into the first season, I haven't seen the latter. At all. Aside from everything else: In a series like this, the main character has to be convincing and embody the character for the stories and the presentation to be coherent. And in this series adaptation, he isn't.
