Peaky Blinders Season 2

Took a while to get going, but ended up strong.  Tommy with multiple girls in love with him:  Grace, Esme, his ex-prostitute present secretary, rich girl horse trainer.  Campbell out to kill him.

Tommy is recruited to kill a British officer.  Murder will be blamed on one faction of the IRA, thus bolstering the other faction.

Tommy does the killing and then is betrayed.  He's going to die!  Last second reprieve when one of his three killers knocks off the other two.  "We have more plans for you," he says.  "Winston Churchill will be in touch!"

Campbell, meantime, is killed by Polly whom he raped earlier.  Second time Campbell has been shot at the end of a season, but this time he really does look dead.  Too bad.  Good character

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.
