Fauda Season 1 Episodes 2-8

Turning out to be pretty good.  Hamas captures Doron's brother-in-law (Boaz).  Pretty doctor who Doron is keen on is forced to insert a bomb in Boaz.  Exchange is arranged.  Hamas blows up Boaz. Doron, in reprisal, blows up the Sheik who was to be exchanged.  "The Panther" daughter is injured.

Israelis take her to Hadassah hospital.  Her mother--furious with her husband for his activities--visits her there.  should she transfer her to Palestinian hospital? Dilemma. Eye injury.

Doron and his team, failures, are out . . . but they  must get back in, or the show is over.

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.
