Take Me to the River (movie) 50%

Family reunion.  MC (Rider) goes off with little girl to a barn. She starts screaming and runs out of the barn with blood on her dress.  Her first period? Did Rider assault her.  Family in Nebraska is already suspicious of Rider and his family because they are the "California" relatives. Rider is not midwestern in any way, wearing too-short shorts, star sunglasses. He's also interested in art--nothing like his cousins who are suspicious, contemptuous, and mystified by him.  Rider's mother has some beef with her brother, and there is the hint that Rider's father is not actually his father.

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.
