The actor in the current Netflix WWII doc does a decent job as Hitler but looks waaaay more like Ron Mael.

I dug it. Kept mishearing "sophon" as "cell phone" and got my conspiratorial mind actin' up.

Super-looking forward to S2 of Hellbound - almost forgot about Hellbound. Let's go!

Does anyone have experience using Curiosity Stream? A friend suggested it because I love non-fiction and documentaries, but it's hard to see the library without signing up.

Been watching Derry Girls on the 'flix and I'm a few episodes into season 2. Anyone else watch this? Love the cast.

Bodkin, on Netflix, is good.

We did, and enjoyed it. Nicola Coughlin is also in Bridgerton (which my wife watches).

I keep thinking this is a recent series but it ran 2-6 years ago and was probably discussed on the Before Times PRF.

Elsbeth

A spinoff of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, this is basically "People love Columbo, let's do another Columbo". Carrie Preston is engagingly eccentric as Elsbeth Tascioni, consent-decree Chicago lawyer sent to NYPD to monitor their actions and solve their murder cases for them.

The Columbo formula is hard to screw up, and Robert and Michelle King do well by it here. Pretty enjoyable.

hell yeah, Elsbeth was one of my favorite characters on GW/GF. don't have P+ atm, but looking forward to binging this at some point

If you don't have Netflix this is streaming for free on YouTube. 13th is a documentary from Ava DuVernay. Its title is derived from the Thirteenth Amendment and its themes explore how racism, mass incarceration, the prison-industrial complex, and penal labor preserves involuntary servitude, as well the corporations, business leaders, and politicians on both sides of the aisle who benefit from it financially and politically. It is comprehensive, dizzying, enraging, and important.

Also recommended is Ava DuVernay's Origin which is streaming on Hulu, and the absolutely terrifying The Family which explores Christian fundamentalism in Washington D.C., also streaming on Netflix.
