Narcos Season 3 finale

Jorge nearly killed, but survives. Implicates cartel and gets into witness protection program in USA--a new kind of prison.  Accountant comically asks about his home in the USA, not getting that the cartel is coming to kill him NOW. He also testifies.  President of Colombia implicated in corruption. Cartel members Checko and Pacho killed in prison. Brothers Gilberto and Miguel extradited to USA where they're sentenced to life.  Pena mixed feelings. Corrupt government still in power, so not a real victory. He turns in his badge, but can he stay out of the fray?  Narcos Mexico is next--I'm guessing Pena will be there.

Terrific show.

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.
