Peaky Blinders isn't on the Netflix in Canada.

BOOOO!

I was interested.

On another note...anyone who likes Vikings or Game Of Thrones should watch The Last Kingdom.

Is The Last Kingdom based on the Bernard Cornwell books? Alfred The Great England-era?

I don't know the answer to that one.

I mostly enjoy anything that's half well-done with swords. If Mad Max: Fury Road had a sword every 5 minutes, I would have liked it more.

Looks like it is based on Bernard Cornwell's books :)

Bernard Cornwell is one of my favorite authors, mainly writes historical fiction. He also wrote the Sharpe's Rifles series of books that were turned into TV movies.

We just started in on Orange is the new Black....why didn't anyone tell me this was the all female reboot of Hogan's Heros?
 
I rescind my recommendation for "Nurse Jackie". First season is great, but goes downhill steadily thereafter. Finale is terrible.
 
We just watched the first three seasons of "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries." They're set in 1929 Melbourne, Australia and are rather quirky and fun -- if nothing else than for the cars, costumes and music.

Marc Maron's show is kind of freaking me out. It's like the guy has written a television series about everything that goes on inside my head.

Is it a good show? I love his interviews but his self obsession really puts me off.
 
Check out Gangs of Wasseypur. It’s a semi-true Indian gangster epic that brings together all the fun of The Godfather and Goodfellas with Tarantino-esque humorous violence. The twist is that since it takes place in an especially poor part of India the gangsters spend most of their lives living like poor Americans because they people they’re ripping off are all living in abject poverty. There’s lots of great acting to enjoy and two of the female roles are just ice cold ruthless gangster mothers. It was originally one 5.5 hour film, finally got released as two 2.5 hour films, and for some reason Netflix is running it as a series of eight ~45 minute episodes. I haven’t enjoyed a film this much in years.
 
Oh boy! The kids are home and they wanted to watch "The Black Mirror". So we watched a few episodes (Play On, the Christmas special, and the Army "roaches" episode) and now the wife has changed her mind about it and would like to watch the rest.
 
Stories by Rabindranath Tagore is a brilliant Hindi series. It’s an anthology of stories by a Nobel prize winning Bengali author. Tagore was a reformist Hindu Brahmin who cared deeply for gender, racial, religious, and caste equality. Over the series the stories turn into scathing attacks on the way Orthodox Hindus treated women in the first half of the twentieth century (and sometimes today). Production values are high and the acting is good.
