Finished Generation War on Netflix. The direct translation from the German title is Our Mothers, Our Fathers, I think. It's a pov look at WWII from 5 Germans in their early 20s. I realize there's controversy with some depictions, but nonetheless I'm glad I watched although I'm a little emotionally spent. I'm gonna need a feel good something to counterbalance this black cloud over my head.

Try an ep or 2 of Trailer Park Boys.

I realize this is a tv thread, but enjoying Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow already. How did I miss this movie?

Not sure if this has been mentioned somewhere here but I just found The Blacklist on Netflix last week. Binge watched about 14 eps over 5 or 6 days. Pretty cool show, although a bit unrealistic.

I noticed The Assets is on Netflix. It's a miniseries based on a book about Alderich Ames, who compromised the identities of 20+ Russian double agents.

I watched it. It was okay. A little slow, and not as tense as I'd have hoped. Probably true to the story.

Lukewarm endorsement, but sounds good enough to give it a go. It's made by ABC, so it's not going to have freer reign the cable networks do. I just started The Promise, an somewhat recent BBC production. It intermingles the pov of an English soldier in Israel, post WWII and current day Israeli/Palestinian issues. Found this by way of The Honourable Woman.

I haven't seen it, but apparently Happy Valley is another Netflix show that's supposed to be good.

Always enjoyed Seinfeld and Family Guy but generally won't go out of my way to download episodes.  Game of Thrones is the newest show I've watched.

I'm only two episodes in. It's not bad.

Great show. Also, very re-watchable.

Haven't seen the one w Robin Williams but he also did one with Joan Rivers that was hysterical. Interesting.

Greatness. And, the best opening song of any show I know, although Brady Bunch was pretty catchy. It's the only show I don't ff through the opening.
