California personalized tags allow a maximum of seven letters/numbers, but all Mickey tags are at least eight.. A drug rehabilitated lawyer with two ex-wives, a daughter and a love of cars is brought to the forefront of a major case after the death of a friend. This comes with practice and more secondary cases than it can handle.
This interesting premise creates an environment full of opportunities for a series of legal procedures
The show takes it, adds a strong cast, well crafted and delivered dialogue and an interesting plot and runs with it at a good pace. Some of the cinematography options are clunky, especially the shifty focus shots and some orange games, though overall it works as intended. Mickey’s driver Izzy is often used as a plot device, but despite being obvious, it feels natural and consistent with the storytelling.
