We recap the Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 Part 2 (Episodes 6-10), which contains spoilers as it details what happened.
Netflix‘s trend of splitting up their popular series into two parts continued with the release of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2. The second season was based on Michael Connelly’s fourth book in The Lincoln Lawyer series, The Fifth Witness. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns in the lead role of Mickey Haller, and series regulars Becki Newton, Angus Sampson, and Jazz Raycole are joined by newcomers Lana Parrilla and Yaya DaCosta.
Part one of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 saw Mickey Haller adapting to his newfound fame from winning the big case from season one against the DA. Of course, it was short-lived when a new lady was introduced to his life which turned into his new client in Lisa Trammel, who was arrested for the murder of Mitchell Bondurant. The cliffhanger left Mickey beaten down in a parking garage.
