Rodriguez also previewedthe importance of Andrea dealing with a domestic violence case. Read the quote below:
“Keep watching. [It’s] more of a flirtation, a friendship, and a mutual respect. That relationship grows.”
“She doesn’t lose cases and doesn’t screw up. What happens to somebody that’s so sure of themselves and strives for perfection when something disrupts that? How do they deal with it?”
Could Mickey & Andrea Get Together?
It’s A Popular Trope For Legal Dramas
DaCosta is a recurring cast member in season 2, facing off in court against Haller for that season’s central case. Andrea has no problem calling out her adversary, with the prosecutor criticizing Mickey for enjoying the spotlight that comes with high-profile cases. She proves to be a tough rival, butMickey wins the case bythe end ofThe Lincoln Lawyerseason 2.
Along with DaCosta and Campbell, the returningLincoln Lawyercast of charactersincludes Becki Newton (Lorna), Jazz Raycole (Izzy), Angus Sampson (Cisco), Elliott Gould (Legal Siegel), Krista Warner (Hayley), Fiona Rene (Glory Days), and Devon Graye (Julian La Cosse).
The lead character has an established romance within the series, and it’s confirmed that Maggie (Neve Campbell) will appear in a flashback duringThe Lincoln Lawyerseason 3. But if the Netflix show does move forward with putting Andrea and Mickey together,it would continue a popular legal drama trope. David E. Kelley, a producer on the series, included the story of a defense attorney and prosecutor dating in his seminal seriesAlly McBealandThe Practice.
There’s room for drama within those stories, especially because of the different philosophies and approaches between the two characters. However, it may not be the endgame forThe Lincoln Lawyer.But it has the impact of rewarding viewers, as they see that Yaya DaCosta’s Andrea Freeman has gone from filling the role of an adversary to a more stable presence in Mickey’s life.
