It took me a few episodes to warm up to the new Lincoln lawyer because Matthew McConaughey absolutely blew it out of the park in the movie, but once I got over that, MAN. Love every minute.

For me it was less that and the fact that McConaughey's character was down on his luck, living and practicing from his older boat of a Lincoln. That's why everyone called him the Lincoln lawyer AFAIK.

Where as Netflix's version hints about a sordid past, but the guy lives in an expensive LA hills house and is driven around in a cherry older Lincoln. Or for a change of pace he's driven around in a new top of the line SUV Lincoln. So I consider the series less of a Lincoln lawyer one and just a really good lawyer show, with nice cars...

Ah I see where you’re coming from. I just pictured them both as lawyers driven around in their Lincolns because they lost their drivers license. Then they kept their drivers once they got their license back. Of course the TV show became a shameless showcase for Lincoln.

I thought him and Marisa Tomei's chemistry was insane in the movie...that isn't the case with Neve Campbell in the series.
