Franklin & Bash (serial)

Season 1-4

Two upstart LA lawyers are making their name with their unconventional style as they win every case. They look out for the little guy and never give up. They get hired into a big firm to "fight the zombie culture" and find themselves a new mentor/guru.  And they keep winning cases. The tone is "wacky-fun", reminds me a bit of the old serial Ed. It's definitely dated, with a frat-culture vibe and really 1D characterization of women. So mostly I might recommend this as background noise if you need a law show running in the background in the middle of the night.

Lincoln Lawyer (serial)

Season 4

Picking up where #3 left off, the Lincoln Lawyer (because he used to practice out of his Lincoln) is on trial for murder. Micky Haller and his crew have to prove his innocence, outsmart the criminal underworld, outsmart the DA, outsmart the FBI, outsmart... well, you get it. Somehow, even though this is predictable and largely stereotypical, it is fun to watch. Great ensemble working together to tell stories.

Munch (serial)

Season 1-4

A French law-drama where the central character is a defense attorney (Munch) who skirts rules to defend her (always innocent) clients. She is persistent, annoying, etc., but also heartfelt in her belief in her clients. She is mentoring the up and coming (a trust fund kid turned lawyer, her investigator, her receptionist) and working out her family relationships as well. Turns out to be the Paris equivalent of Lincoln Lawyer. Quite fun.
