Reference to Shrine of Telly: Week 3 (2022)
I liked the movie, but I think I like the show better. You make a decent movie like that, and to make an adaptation that tops it overall is a colossal undertaking. No doubt they spent a fortune on this series. The background, the dialogues, the story, everything is top notch. Don’t expect it to be exactly like the movie, because it’s not meant to be, and don’t compare it to the novels (apples to oranges). I haven’t seen the lead actor (Garcia-Rulfo) actually play the lead in anything that I can remember, although he’s appeared in some unusual films over the past decade.

I spent a good part of my life with all of David E. Kelly’s works/productions, and I don’t regret a moment of my misspent youth. The only question I have is why did they wait so long for another great one to be born?
No need to waste
Sure, but it’s mainstream these days, and whether we like it or not, the organism that is the entertainment industry is married to this ”culture.” Accept it and move on, or you’re denying yourself some well-deserved indulgences like Lincoln’s lawyer.
