Sunburn

Okay, she's playing with expectations, and she got me. Polly--who looked like a victim--is now looking more like a film noir spider.  She's turned on by violence, uses sex to manipulate men, and has a past.  A first husband, an escape from him, a feeling that she has repeated earlier errors.

Greg, her husband, hires a PI (female) who tracks her down.  Greg then tries to force her to come back to her daughter (he's freaked out by the possibility that HE might have to raise the child).  He actually pulls a gun on her, but that ends up with Bosk breaking his arm.

Bosk is the character I thought was the bad guy.  Instead, his role is murky.  He's definitely following her, but he is also falling under her spell. What does he want?  What does she want?

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.
