'Strip Law,' animated comedy series about Vegas lawyers, debuts on Netflix
Netflix is releasing a new animated comedy series about “an uptight lawyer” who teams up with a “flashy Las Vegas magician to bring some pizzazz to the city’s stupidest cases.”
The series, called Strip Law, debuts on the streaming network Friday. Christopher Lawrence, a TV and movie critic for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, said the show “has slot machines that pay out in painkillers, a gun range where you can blow up cows, and something called Circumcisions by Elvis.”
Cullen Crawford, the creator of the adult comedy series, told Lawrence that it comes from a place of love.
“It’s how Vegas feels to everyone more than what it’s actually like,” Crawford said, adding that he set out to satirize the city’s reputation as “the one place where you can do whatever.”
The show focuses on attorney Lincoln Gumb (voiced by Adam Scott, Severance) who, in an effort to win over juries, teams up with magician Sheila Flambé (Janelle James, Abbott Elementary).
“Can we have one case that doesn’t spiral out of control?” Gumb said in the trailer.
His partner Flambé said, “You don’t get it, Lincoln, you’re a Vegas lawyer.”
