The Women (movie, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, etc.) 2/5

All female cast. Norma Shearer's husband is having an affair with Joan Crawford.  Norma's "friends" love the intrigue, love to gossip.  End result--divorce.  Of course husband comes to regret his entanglement with a shopkeeper (Crawford), and all ends well with Norma getting him back and forgiving him.  If a man wrote the screenplay today, he'd be roasted alive.

Movie was made in 1939.  Depression still going, though not at its peak. Absolute excess and money with all the main characters.

I won't be watching this one again.

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.
