California personalized plates allow a maximum of seven letters/numbers, but all Mickey plates have a minimum of eight.. Lincoln’s lawyer was actually better than I expected. I’ve never read the books this was based off of, but I saw the Matthew McConaughey movie and thought it was pretty good, but not worth making into a series.
I couldn’t have been more wrong
I really expected it to be a bit of a budget ripoff. I actually liked it more than the movie. I didn’t watch it until I saw all the great reviews and the fact that it was one of the most watched series of the year on Netflix.
While it’s not the best lawyer show you’ll ever see, it’s definitely worth watching
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo does a good job as the lead, and Becky Newton, Neve Campbell, Angus Sampson and others do great supporting roles.
