Take Me to the River

Rider has an unsettling meal with his uncle.  He's asked which of his nieces looks older.  Then Molly, who he'd been suspected of molesting the day before, takes him down to the river to swim.  She "chicken fights" on his shoulders, but seems to be masturbating, though she's just 10, by grinding against him.  Then she deserts him.  He makes it back to the house okay and they all leave, but not before the strong hint is made that his mother and his uncle had an incestuous relationship (down by the river) when they were children.  

Excellent acting, genuinely creepy feel, screenplay to my mind needed something more definite to HAPPEN.

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.
