The Lincoln Lawyer or as we know it in Italy Attorney of Defense has now arrived at the fourth season that departed from the events with which the third season had ended. The protagonist Mickey Haller is stopped by the police for what seems like a normal control but in the trunk of his car the corpse of the scammer Sam, an old client.
The season is based on the sixth novel of the series created by Michael Connelly The Law of Innocence and in the novel has a central role Detective Bosch, another character of Connelly, which however was adapted by Prime Video and therefore is not present in the TV series released by Netflix on February 5. Defence lawyer has already been renewed for a fifth season also because it represents for Netflix one of those titles from the traditional system that likes the more mature public, fundamental to keep inside the platform.

Avvocato di Difesa 4, un campionario di personaggi respingenti
Arrived in the fourth season and with 40 episodes to the active, Attorney of Defense should have become one of those TV series “family” that make company to the public, that tifa for the characters and is passionate about them. In fact The Lincoln Lawyer has a collection of repulsive characters with which it is complicated to get in tune.
The authors try to give us autonomous stories to Lorna, Izzy, Maggie or Cisco also to fill the bets, but eventually the disinterest or the desire to discover how these parallel stories can be useful to Mickey. Also in this case and as it is normal, the counterparty the Prosecutor Berg, interpreted by Constance Zimmer, is a character that the public must hate and is built to achieve this purpose. A fault of the series that has been going on for a long time and is therefore now an integral part of the story that ends up making the prosecutors of caricatures more than realistic characters.

Haller con il freno a mano
Complicates a story that concerns him in person, Mickey Haller seems to have the hand brake pulled, making it even slower the whole story. In the previous seasons, the cases that we could define almost as a bet that went into the horizontal plot, the most important case followed by Haller, managed to give the rhythm that dropped every time the series came out of the courtroom. A symil-procedural formula that is part from the beginning of Defense Attorney, not by chance had initially been developed for CBS. But in this season inevitably these episode cases have almost disappeared and sometimes the series seems to stray in search of the decisive turn, indeed waiting for the decisive turn, which arrives quickly in the last two episodes.
Considering that no one can think that Haller is eventually condemned, it would probably not have been a wrong idea to cut some familiar fillers and use maybe two books for this season, ending the story of Haller in the first half of the season. But Defense Attorney is another thing, and we love him as well, especially for Haller’s ability in court. Everything else is forgotten.
