Netflix’s ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Was Never the Same After Season 3’s Major Turning Point for Mickey

Season 3 of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyerfocused on Mickey Haller’s (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) developing character arc as he’s pushed to rethink his choices and their unbearable burden. Throughout the season, Mickey weighs his choices (often impulsive) against the consequences they bring. As a result, Mickey’s overall journey in The Lincoln Lawyer entails undergoing a transformation that will decide the character’s future trajectory. While the season sets up Mickey for this transformation through minor conflicts from the beginning, the death of Season 3’s newly introduced character became the turning point for the ace lawyer in his pursuit of ambition. While Eddie’s sudden death was the most surprising for a show that has seen its fair share of demises, it was equally important considering the direction The Lincoln Lawyer took in Season 3.
