There are some good films available on DVD's there. What they stream is mostly garbage, with rare exceptions. Without knowing your taste... I dunno... try the Australian series Rake. Not bad, with some brilliant moments.

Excellent art direction and locations. Not sure how much of the film is actual history and/or hypothetical mish-mash. Regardless, the performances are good and the movie is compelling.

enough to buy the DVD. The closest copy I could find was in Canada and the subtitles were awful. Like Google Translator awful. NF's version is much, much better.

Hey, we had murders, "car chases" we didn't see, police brutality and water boarding, and a tepid love interest with a non-skin bedroom scene. What's not to like?

Paramount to the plot was the alarming pre-JFK parallels which made it interesting. Plus, you get a primer on anti-Serb animus.

"Uh oh, age is showing . . ." It is called wisdom. :) nt, posted on July 16, 2018 at 10:16:50

More good series both original and Brit and Aussie imports.

Go to categories up arrow to white icons, not down, then Indy films or critically acclaimed and you'll find some decent titles.

Birthmarked is cool.

jdaniel@jps.net	I lost myself, glass of wine (or three) in hand, binging on 6+ seasons of Breaking Bad and Walking Dead, neither of which I caught on regular TV. Blacklist, House of Cards....

There are too many made for Netflix series or shows! I've been considering cancelling my subscription, especially since they recently partnered with some people I can't stand....

We too love old movies, and there is wealth of them on Netflix in DVD's. Since they are covering postage both ways, I suspect it might be the loss leader for them, so our queue is overflowing. :)

For Netflix series, Luke Cage Season 2 is awesome but so is all of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. You can catch several of Ken Burns' great documentaries on Netflix.

The Borgias, Isolda Dychauk plays Lucretia. I wanna be her dog. Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

If you do, and you don't mind reading subtitles, there is a great Korean Zombie flick on Netflix called "Train to Busan'.

(Probably my favorite zombie movie of all time!)

The Rotten Tomatoes review numbers are great as well, (95%/88%).

Enjoy!

Can't go wrong with Stellan and this one takes place in Norway where he drives a snowplow for a living. Colorful characters and lots of snow.

And the Spanish series Casa de Papel, which you can find under Money Heist is a very good thrill series and very well done.. If you don't mind reading subtitles... Safe is a British series which is also very good. These are a few I've seen lately.
