House of Cards 4 & 5

More machinations.  Spacey uses his wiles to dethrone speaker of the house, outfox teachers union, get a bunch of money for his wife's charity, seduce Zoe, the reporter (who is now working for an on-line news agency).

Wife is almost reseduced by Adam the photographer.  Russo, the Pennsylvania congressman with the coke/alcohol habit, sells out his district for Francis, but as a reward may become governor of PA.

Soap opera, but okay.

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.
