The Lincoln Lawyer: Season 4 | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix
They really fell down on this one. It's like 90% of the show is about women commiserating about 'poor, poor' Mickey Haller. Christ on a crutch. It doesn't move along like the older seasons did, the pace is glacial. I suspect the show has been infected by the Harlan Coben disease.
That said, there is a good scene near the end of episode eight where Cisco is leaving a high rise hotel after having served a subpoena to a gangster. Previously Cisco had been beat up by a couple of thugs who caught him snooping around the gangster's previous hotel, so when he sees a couple of thugs in the hotel lobby while he is on his way out, he gives them a wide berth. But as he is walking across the parking lot to his car, he realizes that the reason the gangster freaked out when Cisco showed up at this door is not because of the subpoena (he doesn't give a fig for the subpoena), but rather because he is afraid of somebody else, somebody else who has sent those two thugs he saw in the lobby, who were headed to the elevators. About the time we see the light in Cisco's eyes when he realizes this, we also see the gangster falling from his eighth floor window in the hotel. He lands right on the top of a car with a satisfying smash. He was a villain, after all.
In episode 10 we have a scene where the whole debacle is wrapped up in the Judge's chambers. Besides the prosecutor and Mickey, we've got the county Sheriff, a couple of FBI agents and somebody higher up in some local government office. The FBI won't let out any information that would exonerate Mickey because it would compromise their investigation of a nationwide biofuel fraud operation. You kind of get the idea of how difficult it is for the FBI to make these kind of cases.
The show also lays out how the biofuel fraud worked, and it was easy as pie. All you have to do it lie and the government starts pouring money into your pocket. No wonder the Somali's in Minnesota managed to make off with so much loot. Nobody is watching the effing store.
