Narcos Pablo Dies 2.10

Nine and ten could have been one episode.  Pablo is discovered and shot dead by Colombian police.  Peña is in Miami--perhaps about to lose his job?  Tata begs for help from the Cali! cartel.

Interesting that they try for sympathy for Pablo, realize it is ludicrous, and then show some of the photos (real) of the victims of his various bomb attacks.

Next episodes (Narcos 3) will be about the Cali cartel.  There are many "leaders" so it will necessarily lack the focus of Narcos 1 & 2.

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

Live and Let Die

 The Fleming book, flawed by 50's racism, moves along in plot and character.  Fleming is an excellent writer--great descriptive powers and pacing. The movie has no redeeming qualities.  All that's left from the book is the racism, and in the book you can feel Fleming's doubts about his racist scenes slipping in.  In the movie (made years later), the racism is incredible.  1972.  Those who say no progress has been made should watch this.  Impossible to imagine this film being made today.
