If you’ve ever watched a TV show and felt like every female character magically evaporates after age 35, The Lincoln Lawyer is the refreshing slap of reality you didn’t know you needed. Because here’s the truth: this series doesn’t just include women over 40 — it celebrates them.
And honestly? It’s about time.
Women Over 40 Aren’t Just in the Room — They Run the Room
From the moment Maggie and Lorna walk into a scene, the dynamic changes. Not because they’re loud. Not because they’re trying too hard.
But because they carry the one thing Hollywood still struggles to write well:
Life experience.
These are women who have survived heartbreaks, built careers, navigated real adult responsibilities, and learned exactly where to set their boundaries. They’re not waiting for approval. They’re not competing with anyone. They’re not shrinking to make men comfortable.
Nope. They show up fully formed — smart, capable, emotionally intelligent, and unbothered.
And don’t we love to see it?
Maggie McPherson: The Woman Who Knows Her Worth
Maggie isn’t here for drama; she’s here for justice, stability, and a healthy co-parenting situation. She’s mature, direct, compassionate — the kind of woman who can destroy you in court and still remember your birthday.
But what makes her relatable to women over 40 is simple:
She embraces her power without needing to perform it.
Lorna: The CEO Energy We’ve Been Waiting For
Lorna runs Mickey’s legal life with the same energy a woman over 40 runs her own household, job, finances, and skincare routine — precise, polished, and effortlessly efficient.
She’s classy. She’s sharp. She doesn’t have time for foolishness.
In fact, she’s the perfect reminder that elegance and strength can exist in the same woman — especially when she’s grown.
Why Women Over 40 Love This Show
Because The Lincoln Lawyer does what so many shows avoid:
It lets mature women exist as real people.
Not exhausted moms, not bitter ex-wives, not background furniture.
Instead, we get:
- Women with emotional intelligence
- Women who’ve rebuilt themselves
- Women who hold boundaries without apologizing
- Women who shine because of their age, not despite it
Hollywood, take notes.
The Real Message
A woman’s value does not expire.
It evolves.
It deepens.
It sharpens.
Watching The Lincoln Lawyer as a woman over 40 feels like a validation of everything we’ve lived through — and everything we’ve become.
Because the truth is this:
When a grown woman walks into the room, her age isn’t a disadvantage. It’s the advantage.
Ready to Binge?
If you’re a 40+ woman looking for a show that respects your intelligence, your confidence, and your fully-earned main-character energy, The Lincoln Lawyer deserves a spot on your watchlist.
