Blood Defense

Marcie Clark, author, was prosecutor on O.J. trial.  This has the feel of an insider's book.  Enjoying the sassy style as well.

Smart talking female defense lawyer.  Good plot.  Double murder of two young females.  Police detective suspected.  Our young lawyer, looking to make a name for herself, throws herself into the fray.  But the cop turns out to be . . .  her father.  The cop is also accused of raping a prostitute who later turns up dead.  The prostitutes friend also turns up dead.  What's going on?  Fun!

(Mom is a great character.  No love for anyone but herself, and daughter feels better when she breaks all ties with mom.  Unusual, but convincing.)

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.
