Netflix’s hit legal drama, The Lincoln Lawyer, returned to screens this week with its long-awaited fourth season, and viewers have wasted no time getting stuck into the new series.

Season four, which comes over a year after the last instalment, sees Manuel Garcia-Rulfo reprise his role as LA defence attorney Mickey Haller, who runs a practice out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car.
