No other streaming service produces as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare that a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We write about the new releases on Netflix every week, but we also want to make sure you don’t miss any returning series.
It’s a busy week for Netflix originals, but the talk of the town is sure to be the third season of The Lincoln Lawyer. Based on the books of Michael Connelly (which also inspired the 2011 Matthew McConaughey movie), the legal drama has been a smash hit for Netflix.

You never expect what’s going to happen, who’s going to be bad and who’s going to be guilty.”
