USA Network’s newest legal drama “The Rainmaker” overpowers viewers with Parrilla’s commanding presence, rendering yet another episode a tight subject on social media with requests coming in from abroad. An official Instagram post by the network shows a heated courtroom interaction between Parrilla’s Jocelyn Stone and a bereaved mother, further piling on the praise for Parrilla’s looks and performance.

This clip shares the abuse that was witnessed by Jocelyn Stone in a difficult situation with her client, who just lost Mr. Bruiser. The back-and-forth dialogue evolves from Stone’s legal prowess as well as from her sympathy since she tactfully conducts these delicate conversations while maintaining her demeanor worthy of her profession. The caption “We don’t blame her, we’d probably want Bruiser to do the talking too” can only be referencing the dynamic between Parrilla’s character and her fellow attorney partner; it even hints that the audience finds this chemistry rather charming.
The resultant social media echo has been enormous. One member of the forum excellently captured the group’s sentiment, stating, “Her face card never declines” – retroactively flattering Parrilla for her looks and charisma that are following her all the way from “Once Upon a Time” into this fresher legal drama. The comments box truly exploded over her hair, with dozens of users going into several languages, “Lana’s hair is perfect!!!”, an example of how it transcended any language barriers.
Some international counteraction is spiking over distribution issues. Several UK-based fans implored, “Where can we watch this in the UK?,” and “Bring to @netflixuk please,” a clear indication of the unmet overseas demand. Such geographic limitations, however, have in no way hindered the energy with which Spanish-speaking fans joined in with comments like “I would also want Lana Parrilla to attend to me before anyone else,” bearing testimony to their transcendence.
Then, a big burshet of nostalgia drops with references to her dearest Regina Mills character in “Once Upon A Time.” “You’ll always be the Regina of our hearts,” another user said genuinely, with one more saying, “She’ll always be Regina for me,” providing a glimpse into how much Parrilla was adored in her past and how hordes of people have now followed her into her new cast. This transition from fairy-tale queen to tough attorney should come so naturally for this gang.
In support of generic praise for Parrilla, comments like “The fastest hour on TV! Great writing and acting!” and “This was definitely a fire episode!” seem to indicate that “The Rainmaker” is ticking all the boxes for the crowd it is meant to entertain. The legal drama totally ramps up storytelling with character-building in one episode after another.
The comments of the users were quite entertaining. One of them even said, “I’m going to commit some crime so Jocelyn can defend me,” openly presenting the degree of relatability viewers have for Parrilla’s character; another jokingly said, “Bruiser can do more than talking,” so fans already look invested in the interplay between the two lead characters.
A somewhat topical undertone to a single post proves to be several modern generation’s box office successes; star power is still huge. With her syndicated fan base, Parrilla went up in support of her new venture in a snap. Distribution gaps spark international interest but also stir frustration. Social medial engagement supported with quality is a big argument on the investment of characters and plots.
With the paranormal charisma and skills Lana Parrilla has on her side, it is not so crazy to think that soon very soon, The Rainmaker will be a must-watch. USA Network may very well have a second winner on its hands if only it can manage to work its way through the distribution difficulties.

That powerful theater of the world combines Parrilla’s brilliance, the heart and soul of a legal drama sketch, and an obvious fan support base that could potentially lead to a massive success. “Agreed. I love this show so far,” one commenter declared, and this feedback is glittering all over the network. Well, the crowds are speaking, and it is clear now-that they want loads more of Lana Parrilla as Jocelyn Stone.
