Let's take a popular series and make key changes and then wonder why the series isn't as popular as it should be.
There are several changes from the Lincoln Lawyer novels. Some of the stories from the books are redone. The plot of the first novel is just a minor subplot in the series.
Other changes are to character's, such as gender and sexual orientation. Yes, there is a token LGBTQ+ character among the regulars. I don't mind but now it seems every series requires one or more such characters, whether it adds anything to the story or not.
All this being said, the major weakness of this series is the portrayal of the title character, Mickey Haller. Mickey comes off as weak and passive. He's simply uninspiring. The lead actor needs to step things up and show some charisma. He is uninteresting.
