There are two elements that always make a TV show or movie worth watching: a subplot that escalates in completely unexpected ways and characters whose purpose you only understand when it is fulfilled. In Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer, those two elements are some of the best parts of the new batch of episodes and help make the new season highly bingeable, but they don't always compensate for some of the problems of the show.
Normally, that wouldn't be a problem. However, for a character that's very present in the season, we don't really learn enough about La Cosse to allow us to become invested in his story or root for his defense.
In fact, Season 3 is pretty uninterested in anything that isn't Mickey Haller. Lorna's anxiety about her bar exam could make for a powerful arc, especially when you consider that Newton is great when switching between drama and comic relief. But the show makes it a small subplot that sometimes turns into the butt of a joke.
