    Default My current Netflix recommendations...

    “Peaky Blinders”
    Peaky Blinders is a gangster family epic set in Birmingham, England in 1919, several months after the end of the First World War in November 1918. The story centres on the Peaky Blinders gang and their ambitious and highly cunning boss Tommy Shelby.

    “Occupied”
    Is a Norwegian political thriller TV series. Set in the near future, Russia initiates a "silk glove" invasion of Norway to restart oil production, but soon uncertainty, chaos and danger erupt.

    “Babylon Berlin”
    A Soviet freight train's hijacking leads a haunted cop and a poor typist to uncover a political conspiracy amid the vice and glamour of 1929 Berlin.

    “Fartsa”
    This Russian series kicks off in Moscow in 1961, as four childhood friends on the brink of adulthood decide to go into business together — illegal business, born out of desperation. They become “fartsovshchik”: black-market retailers who sell contraband Western clothing. The show has a “Catch Me if You Can” vibe; it’s colorful and peppy and bright, with inventive tracking shots and a fizzy energy (NY Times review).

    A gal pal friend of mine has it through one of her son's. He has a multiple user account and she and her husband use one of them for free. Sounds pretty cool. After I get a few other things out of the way, I'm going to do it. Been using an antenna and not paying to watch TV for nearly 15 years, so I'm ahead of the game that way.

    Have you seen “The Death of Stalin”? It looks like a hilarious black comedy.

    Yea I saw in a trailer where Steve Buscemi (Kruschev) and Jeffery Tambor (Malinkov) are walking down a hall with a white wall where there are bullet holes and blood dripping down the wall where people had obviously just been executed and Buscemi is telling Tambor with a straight face "Look, everything is going to be fine.". I about fell out of my chair. Another scene where Stalin is laying dead on the floor and his minister of the secret police say, in rather apathetic tones. "He's feeling unwell, clearly.". I mean I have to see this movie.

    That genre of sci fi is right up my alley, and I have been thinking about checking that series out. Thanks for the intel.

    Outstanding.

    Russian history is epic, larger than life, and peppered with characters that are iconic: ranging from the incredibly evil and heinous, to the truly angelic and virtuous. I am surprised Russian history is not used as a backdrop in more movies. Just my opinion.

    "Enemy at the Gates" was an excellent movie recently on Netflix, with the Battle of Stalingrad serving as the backdrop....based on the true story of Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev, played by Jude Law. I give it 4.5 our of 5 stars!

    Cannot say I am into rap, but I totally dig those Netflix biopic offerings about rock bands and musicians.
    I really liked the Netflix biopic on Tom Petty, and there was a good one Duff McKagan, the former bass player of Guns and Roses. I don't know why stories of alcoholic, doped up, and strung out rock stars are so titillating to me...I hope it doesn't make me a bad person!

    If it does then there are a lot of bad people because everyone of those VH-1 behind the music stories was like that; success, drugs, personal failings, redemption etc
