Quoted in Shrine of Telly: Week 3 (2022)
California personalized plates allow up to seven letters/numbers, but all Mickey plates have at least eight. A drug addiction rehabilitation lawyer with two ex-wives, a daughter and a passion for cars finds himself at the center of a high-profile case after the death of a friend. This will add to the practice even more minor matters that he will not be able to cope with.
This intriguing premise creates an eventful backdrop for the trial
The show takes this into account, adds a strong cast, well-thought-out and delivered dialogue, as well as an interesting plot and develops at a good pace. Some of the cinematography options are awkward, especially with variable focus and orange patterns, although overall everything works as it should. Mickey’s driver, Izzy, is often used to explain the plot, but despite its obviousness, it feels natural and fits the narrative.
