The fourth season of the legal series 'The Lawyer' is now available on Netflix, presenting a daring turn as the protagonist finds himself on the defendant's side.
The fourth season of the acclaimed legal drama 'The Lawyer' on Netflix features a bold twist as the main character, Mickey Haller, shifts from defending clients to standing trial himself. This season, which consists of ten episodes, delves into the complexities and moral dilemmas faced by legal professionals, examining the steep cost of providing a robust defense. The show maintains its signature storytelling style, a blend of predictability and clarity, typical of its creator David E. Kelley, known for his classic series such as 'Chicago Hope,' 'Ally McBeal,' and 'Big Little Lies.'
Kelley collaborates once again with showrunner Ted Humphrey to steer the narrative away from routine legal battles toward more intricate plots that reflect societal issues. This approach aligns with the source material, the novel 'The Law of Innocence' by bestselling author Michael Connelly, broadening the show's thematic depth as it explores Haller's journey through the legal system from a unique angle. With its mix of tension, drama, and moral questioning, the new season promises to engage viewers in a thought-provoking manner.
Despite occasional pacing issues, 'The Lawyer' continues to captivate its audience with sharp insights into the legal profession and the dilemmas faced by those within it. By thrusting Haller into the role of the accused, the series not only raises the stakes for its protagonist but also invites viewers to contemplate the ethical boundaries and the high price of justice. This season represents a significant evolution in the storytelling of the series, highlighting the changing dynamics of legal drama in contemporary television.
