While the 2011 film tackled the first book in Michael Connelly’s 6 novel series, Netflix’s series adaptation will be based on the second in the series.
The Brass Verdict features a completely different story line that fans of the 2011 film have not seen on screen.
If fans were concerned about having to sit through a replay of the same case as Matthew McConaughey’s Mickey Haller, they needn’t have fear.
While it may appear strange for the show to pick up after the original novel takes place, it works out pretty well as Connelly’s second novel brings a new start to Haller’s law career with a whole new caseload.
