It is indeed available on Netflix here in South America. I understand that we sometimes have different programming then you folks up North.

I am getting the impression that they learned from the reboot of Battle Star Galactica. That reboot was much better than the original, IMHO.

The robot looks very cool.

Yep - STARZ holds onto their newer content for quite a while in the US

both of these were outstanding, imho.. there's also a doc about Muscle Shoals and the Swampers..

Muscle Shoals (2013) - Rotten Tomatoes
MUSCLE SHOALS is a documentary about a place filled with magic and music, legend and folklore, where the river is inhabited by a Native American spirit who has lured some of the greatest Rock and Roll and Soul legends of all time, and drawn from them some of the most uplifting, defiant, and important music ever ...

Season 2 of Occupied.

Halfway through and so far it’s been great.

Try Wild Wild Country documentary, what a hoot and it really happened. One of the interviewees is the son of the Nike founder. I was in my 20's when this happened but do not remember any of it. You get both sides of the story and it's pretty fascinating. Netflix

We have enjoyed the three My Next Guest Letterman interviews: Obama, Clooney and Yousafzai. Clooney was the best.

Interesting new Netflix special called the Push, about how easily people bend their morals to social pressure.

New Netflix special Derren Brown: The Push orchestrates events against a supposedly unwitting subject, pushing him into higher and higher pressure situations until he arrives at a clarifying event: will he commit murder by pushing someone off a roof? But, of course, there’s a bigger question looming over all this: is The Push fake, or real?

The subject, Chris, begins as a charity gala guest, but soon finds himself helping to move a dead body. At every step, the request seems just on the edge of reasonable. If he’s already dead (of a heart attack), why interrupt the gala (it’s for a good cause after all)? Chris, like many of us, wants to be liked, wants to be reasonable, and acquiesces to increasingly absurd demands. Social pressure from an army of in-on-it actors pushes him to impersonate the dead person, manipulate the body like Weekend at Bernie’s, and then, in the climactic moment, nudges him towards murder when the dead person turns out not to be so dead after all.

We just binged on that this week. What a story! In college I actually stayed at their hostel in Amsterdam. Their program wasn’t my cup of tea but they had nice (purple) futons, hot (private )showers and organic food, so we were quite happy.

Really enjoyed the Netflix documentary “Jim and Andy” about Jim Carey’s portrayal of Andy Kaufman in “Man on the Moon.”. It’s hard to say who is more interesting. I found Jim Carey’s commentary very moving and wise. This is a guy who was homeless in high school and worked hard to manifest every one of his showbiz dreams. Yet, he ended up in a surprising “place” that isn’t the myth that massive success like Carey’s is supposed to bring.

Didn't know where else to place this, but we watched a library vid, primarily on Aleppo, Syria, (pre hostilities), a city I really enjoyed in 1963, last evening and thought I'd recommend Holly:

The reboot of "Queer Eye" is really good, takes the concept a lot further than the original (but if you hated the original, this won't be for you).

DH just binged through "Terrace House" a japanese reality show that looks quite interesting.

not goingg thru all 57 pages, but we're watching Broadchurch = UK murder mystery. I will caution that they have marbles in their mouths !!!!!!

Check out Mindhunter, Manhunt - Unabomber, Ozark and Bloodline. All are dramas (somewhat dark topics), but very well-written and addictive/bingeworthy. All are available on Netflix.

We also are currently enjoying The Ranch. Very funny, but also fairly raunchy. Sam Elliott is great at comedy (who knew?)

there are many UK murder mystery series that are very good, including broadchurch. 1 thing I found very helpful is to turn on the subtitles option to better understand what they are saying.

Just finished binging on Justified. That was a very good series and was wrapped up quite well in season 6. Thanks everyone who recommended it. It’s amazon prime, not Netflix.

Been very much enjoying a Spanish Netflix series called El Ministerio del Tiempo (The Ministry of Time). It's a Spanish time travel show that would appeal to history buffs and Dr. Who fans.


"""The Ministry of Time is the best kept secret of the Spanish state: an autonomous government institution that reports directly to the Prime Minister. Its patrols have to watch the doors of time so that no intruder from other eras can change history for their own benefit.

The series follows the assignments of the Ministry's newest patrol: the one formed by Army of Flanders soldier Alonso de Entrerríos, 19th century student Amelia Folch and 21st century Samur paramedic Julián Martínez."""

Netflix is now 20 years old.
Amazing! I remember how great it was to get my first disk in the mail. WOW! No more being a prisoner of the local theaters movie schedule. And, there were all those other movies that I never knew about and/or never made it to my local theaters.

FWIW, I watched the first episode of Lost In Space - they really dragged it out.

If episode one is representative of the entire first seasons the only thing I can say is - Danger Will Robinson!

Just finished Tabula Rasa and really liked it.

Lady Dynamite. Season One was fairly funny. Season Two might have gotten too much into dealing with mental illness unintentionally along with the intentional addressing of depression. A little deeper than most sitcoms.
