Originally set up with CBS for a series commitment in 2020, it was canceled just before the first episode was to film due to COVID. This series has now been picked up by Netflix for a 10-episode first season based on Mickey Haller’s second book “The Brass Verdict.” Mickey Haller has several cars, all with personalized California license plates with legal terms on them. Personalized California plates allow a maximum of seven letters/numbers, but all of Mickey’s plates have at least eight.
It seems like the whole character development was a gamble
It’s a very bold move to cast Manuel Garcia-Rulfo in the lead role… and it seems like it’s going to be hard for a lot of people to accept… but his gentle approach gets the job done and he’s a perfect fit for LA.
I should give him a 7
I think it’s a gamble that will pay off in the long run. but he gets a 9 to balance out the people who are just plain wrong. I finished the series in 3 sittings… I really liked it.
