This.

It's going to be another crime procedural for olds.

The book was good; the movie sucked. I’ll give the series a try

we're 4 episodes in and like it enough.  i wish i liked the main character more.  i can't decide why i don't - it's tough to go from mcconaughey to him (i didn't read the books).  he just doesn't seem slick enough to pull off the la lawyer bit i guess.  also i get that he's half mexican, but his accent seems to come and go which drives me nuts.

in a way it kinda reminds me of reacher (the show, not books/movies).  like they took a well crafted book character and some reasonably strong stories, but didn't really have the budget to cast it properly, so you have off-brand acting talent across the board.  like the difference between a hollywood rom-com and a hallmark movie.  especially when the smaller parts pop up.

so far it's bothering me the most with haller, griggs, and the tech billionaire free throw dude.  

also...

Spoiler

i'm sure this comes up and works itself out, but right now their best defense is to say someone was trying to kill the boyfriend yoga guy, not the wife.  this yoga guy had a studio in venice and did classes on the beach.  seemed to be pretty visible and easy to get to, if one was so inclined.  but they're setting up a story where whomever murdered him or had him killed chose to do it while he was in the bedroom and past the security system of...a tech genius.  seems about the hardest time to make such a thing happen.  i'm trying not to get hung up on the little things.

It would make sense if he had the heavier accent in normal conversation, and it was milder in the courtroom.   But that's now how it is.

I think the actor is doing quite well in this role, especially given that he is supposed to be coming out of a downward spiral.

His accent coming and going fits in with what happens with people who are not just bilingual but learned the language at home/with family. I (and the rest of the family) have accents that come out when around close friends/family, and disappear in other settings. Even when speaking English in both scenarios. Don't even think about it, just happens.

Watched ep 1 - does this show get better? Feels pretty much like a high profile major network drama.

Just watched this.  Enjoyable and truish to the books.  I'm in for Season 2.

It's a David E. Kelley joint.  Guy is nails on legal dramas.  Maybe not always perfectly credible, but decent, and usually entertaining.

DENNY CRANE!

4 Eps in and loving it. They are keeping tight 2 Ep storylines with a bit of longer arc backstories. 

tl/dr: Outstanding writing

#28

Killed part 1 in blazing speed. 
 

i love me some Mickey. 
DA seems to be just as good as Mickey. Makes it more interesting. 
 

August 3 for part 2 Boooooo

Just finished through jury selection of season 1. So far this seems like a mashup of Bosch and Goliath. It’s great but seems worth a watch. B- so far.

Today Netflix announced that the hit series has been renewed for Season 4 and the cameras are set to start rolling sooner rather than later. Production starts this February in Los Angeles.

Did season 3 get any better after the 1st episode?  I couldn't even make it through 30 minutes.  The writing was totally different.  it felt like everybody was just waiting on their mark so they could say something witty.  It was never sophisticated but that first episode was horribly done.

Just finished season 3, thought it was good.  The guy that played Fritz in The Iron Claw was excellent, he has amazing facial expressions.

Finished up last night. Great series. Chriqui is naughty on a biblical scale. And yes, the books are better.

Kelley is doing another Connelly deal. This one is based on the book "Nightshade", which is about the LA Sheriff's Catalina Island Station. It's where the LASD sends fuckups to banish them. There are two books in the series, the most recent, "Ironwood", came out a few days ago.
