The Big Sick 4 out of 5

Pakistani/American male, southern white girl. Romance fraught with problems. He can't bring himself to tell his parents about his non-Muslim girlfriend . . . then, she gets sick.

Nice play of comedy (that's his profession) versus tragedy.  It almost seems that we're headed to an unhappy ending . . . but no!

Based on true story of main character's romance with his wife.  Pretty good, all in all.

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a form of Still's disease, a rare systemic autoinflammatory diseasecharacterized by the classic triad of persistent high spiking fevers, joint pain, and a distinctive salmon-colored bumpy rash. The disease is considered a diagnosis of exclusion.

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.
