Narcos Season 1 finished

Pablo Escobar, growing paranoid in his gilded prison, murders two visitors/narcos partners.  When the men don't return to their families, word gets out about their possible death.  Minister of Justice goes to gilded prison to try to trick Pablo into leaving and facing justice. Pablo takes him hostage. Columbian special forces attack. Pablo escapes, though most of his men apparently are killed or captured.

Murphy & Pena.  Pena apparently sold Murphy out (taken hostage) to another cartel in order to facilitate the capture of Escobar.  I didn't follow how all this worked.

Murphy's wife wants to go back to USA.  Murphy says Columbia is his home. Divorce coming up?

Murphy and his wife seem to be about to adopt a Columbian child left orphaned after the murder of her mother.

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.
