Tiger's Wife

Grandfather's story of the "Tiger's Wife."  She is a deaf-mute girl who was married off to Luka by trickery.  Luka beats her.  She befriends (apparently) the tiger.  Luka disappears.  Villagers believe she has killed him and had the tiger eat him.  She is pregnant, and the villagers believe that the father is the tiger.  Grandfather, under the direction of Mother Vera who is taking care of him, brings the girl baskets of food.  Villagers believe her child will be a devil child, though they sympathize with her killing of her husband.  Very interesting book.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
