The Big Picture [Editor's note: The following contains major spoilers for Season 2 of The Lincoln Lawyer.]Based on the series of bestselling novels by author Michael Connelly, part two of the second season of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer wraps up the ongoing case of Mitchell Bondurant and who was ultimately responsible for his murder.
Michael Connelly and I, and Dailyn Rodriguez, got together about a month before we actually brought the whole writers team in and we kicked around the book. We figured out what the major tentpoles of the season would be and where it was going. We definitely had that road map while we were breaking each episode and writing each episode. But you’re right, it’s tricky with a law show, in particular. I was a lawyer and the authenticity of the law is really important to me.
You resolve this case, as far as finding her not guilty of this murder, but then you throw us another curveball and reveal that she actually did kill a guy, even if it wasn’t that guy. What do you think that says about who she is? And if we were to go back and watch this season, how differently do you think we would feel about her, knowing all of that?
Did you clue your actress, Lana Parrilla, in on everything from the beginning, or do you try to keep certain things from the actors? Did you intentionally tell them not to read the book? It just all felt really suited to those characters and that everybody who helped put it together was able to pull it off because they knew them and cared about them. You don’t always get that feeling on a TV show.
I also love how the relationship between Mickey and his daughter has developed, and that you allow for time to let that dynamic grow.
