3 best Netflix shows to watch after The Lincoln Lawyer season 4

After over a year's wait, The Lincoln Lawyer is finally back! All 10 episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer season 4 were released on Netflix on Feb. 5, and it's all that everyone can seem to talk about. Does this really come as a surprise? Not really. The Lincoln Lawyer is one of Netflix's top shows, and fans have been patiently waiting for Mickey Haller’s return ever since the last season left them on the edge of their seats.

If you recall from the season 3 finale, things didn't end too well for our favorite criminal-defense attorney. After successfully defending his client, Mickey thought he could finally catch a break. But that relief was short-lived. In a shocking cliffhanger, he was pulled over by police, only to discover a dead body in the trunk of his car. Suddenly, Mickey went from being the clever lawyer fighting for justice to a man fighting for his own freedom.

That's basically what the fourth season is about. Mickey has to defend himself against a murder charge. For those who've already watched the complete season, you're probably looking for something equally gripping to dive into next. Lucky for you, Netflix has plenty of options to keep your binge-watch streak alive. Below, we shared three great Netflix shows to watch after The Lincoln Lawyer season 4!

Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)

• Creators: David E. Kelley and Melissa James Gibson
• Cast: Sienna Miller, Michelle Dockery, Rupert Friend, Naomi Scott, Joshua McGuire, Josette Simon
• Seasons: 1
• Based on: Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan

If you love shows where perfect lives unravel in the most dramatic way possible, Anatomy of a Scandal is exactly the kind of series you need to be watching. It'll definitely keep you invested throughout its six-episode run.

The series revolves around James Whitehouse, a charismatic and influential British politician who seems to be living the dream. He’s respected in his career, deeply connected in government, and shares the perfect life with his wife, Sophie, and their children. From the outside, they look like the definition of a power couple. But, of course, the illusion of perfection doesn’t last long.

James’ carefully built world begins to collapse when he admits to having an affair with Olivia, a young woman who worked closely with him. While the confession alone is enough to send shockwaves through his marriage and career, the real bombshell drops when Olivia accuses him of sexual assault.

You Don't Know Me (2022)

• Directed by: Sarmad Masud
• Written by: Tom Edge
• Cast: Samuel Adewunmi, Sophie Wilde, Bukky Bakray, Roger Nsengiyumva, Duayne Boachie
• Seasons: 1
• Based on: You Don't Know Me by Imran Mahmood

You Don’t Know Me is one of those hidden Netflix gems that deserves way more attention. It might only span four episodes, but it delivers a gripping, emotional, and twist-filled story that’s nearly impossible to stop watching once you get pulled in.

The crime drama follows a young man known as Hero, who finds himself on trial for murder with the evidence stacked heavily against him. From the outside, it looks like an open-and-shut case, and his chances of walking free seem slim. But instead of relying solely on lawyers to argue on his behalf, Hero takes a bold and risky approach by telling his own story directly to the jury.

Through his testimony, Hero walks the jury through the events that led to his arrest, centering much of his story around his intense and complicated relationship with a woman named Kyra. It eventually becomes clear that Kyra is far more entangled in the dangerous circumstances surrounding the case than anyone initially suspected.

Juvenile Justice (2022)

• Directed by: Hong Jong-chan
• Written by: Kim Min-seok
• Cast: Kim Hye-soo, Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Sung-min, Lee Jung-eun
• Seasons: 1

Alright. We're going to switch over to Korean shows for the last one. Most people don’t realize that K-Dramas aren’t just about swoon-worthy romances. They can also be more on the serious side too. A perfect example of that is Juvenile Justice. It was really popular when it came out back in 2022. In fact, it currently holds a perfect Tomatometer score and a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

This Netflix series plunges you into the tense and complicated world of juvenile crime. We follow Shim Eun-seok, a sharp, no-nonsense judge, who takes on cases at the Yeonhwa District juvenile court. She’s tough and unafraid to dish out strict punishments, convinced that young offenders should face the full weight of the law. But it doesn't take long for her to learn that juvenile cases are never simple.
