Lincoln Lawyer Viewers Are Recommending Legal Drama With Near-Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer have flooded to social media to suggest other TV series viewers might like if they've finished the Netflix hit.

The Lincoln Lawyer, based on 2008 novel The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly, may have only been released onto Netflix earlier this month on 13 May, but many viewers have already binge-watched it all.

Fans of the 'best series [...] in years' have subsequently been left hungry for more after quickly finishing its 10 episodes.

However, viewers should fear not, because apparently there are other television series which will feed your cravings for more American legal drama.

The Lincoln Lawyer was reviewed by viewers as 'an incredible show'.

One user even stated it was 'one of [their most] favourite in a long time'.

Another wrote: "I really hope Netflix picks up The Lincoln Lawyer for a second season because damn, the series is brilliant."

While viewers wait in anticipation for a second season, Twitter users have suggested a whole host of other series for fans to sink their teeth into, including one with a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

One Twitter user listed eight other 'legal drama movies' which The Lincoln Lawyer viewers 'might enjoy'.

They listed series such as Suits, How To Get Away With Murder, Better Call Saul and All Rise.

However, one series that kept popping up in the comments was The Good Wife.

The Good Wife has a rating of 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The drama first premiered in September 2009 and stars the likes of Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski and Matt Czuchry.

Ridley Scott and Robert King are among the series' list of executive producers.

The synopsis reads: "When a very public sex and political-corruption scandal lands her husband, Peter, in prison, Alicia Florrick (Emmy-winner Julianna Margulies) must get past the humiliation and betrayal and assume responsibility for her family.

"She resumes her career as a defense attorney, shedding her persona as the embarrassed wife of a politician, and takes charge of her destiny.

"Years later, after Peter wins the gubernatorial election, Alicia must balance her evolving career and family responsibilities with her new position as first lady of Illinois."

Fans of The Good Wife have flocked to social media to share their enthusiasm for the show.

One said: "The Good Wife is a top tier show."

Another commented: "Just finished The Good Wife. Don’t know what to do with myself."

To which a user answered: "Fan of legal dramas like The Good Wife? Allow us to recommend THE LINCOLN LAWYER, a series from David E. Kelley.

"It stars @rulfomanuel as a brilliant (and handsome) lawyer on a high-profile murder case that is not what it seems."

The Lincoln Lawyer is currently available to stream on Netflix.

While you can't catch The Good Wife on Netflix, you can watch it on-demand on Prime Video and Apple TV.
