Dear Bhairitu, I think you can reserve the disks of "The Honorable Woman" on Netflix, I just did.
I figured that Mr Wright owed me a reco in return for my reco of "Spiral". ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : "The Honorable Woman" played on Sundance which requires one of those "archaic" TV services to view. "Ray Donovan" requires a Showtime subscription and even though they have an app it won't play over a TV like HBO GO does. I saw the "Forever" pilot (it was actually previewed before the series began) but was weary of the network it's on and the hook. Just seems like showrunners keep trying to come up with "weird stuff" or "me toos" to get greenlit. On 09/23/2014 01:20 PM, TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@... mailto:turquoiseb@...

I duly looked it up on IMDB and decided I didn't want to spend 90+ minutes there. :-) Just differences in where we wanna spend our time, not a judgment per se. As for "The Blacklist," however, I watched the teaser they made to suck people into the series for season two, and it improved my appreciation of how fuckin' good the series was in season one. James Spader has just been *beyond* wonderful as a character actor in this series, which also features some of the best action scenes on TV these days, with by far the largest cast. I admit to never having caught the American version of "The Bridge" wave, but if I get the time to dive into a new series (work, work, work...fulfilling, but it fucks up one's viewing schedule), I'll check it out, because you keep commenting positively on it, and others do as well. I'm somewhat curious about a new series called "Forever." I've seen the pilot, and will keep watching for a while because if you've got to watch a series about a guy who can't die, the guy should at least be cool. The star of this series is way cool. There is also another series I'm undecided on, except that I'm now 5 episodes into it and I'm *still* undecided on it. It's a BBC America production called "Intruders," and it's about a kinda secret cult that lives forever by temporarily taking over the bodies of others. I am still watching because after four episodes I still wasn't quite sure what was going on. I like that kinda ballsiness when dealing with American audiences. "Ray Donovan" is finishing up its current season, and I haven't seen the final episode so I can't comment, but it's held my interest all the way through. I'm going to give "Gotham" a shot *not* because it's based on the DC comic book world (to which I'm a tad averse), but because of Donal Logue. He became one of my favorite actors in "The Tao Of Steve" and in "Terriers," and I hope he does well in this series. I don't know when or whether "The Honourable Woman" will become available in North America, but when it does you really should consider watching it. I still consider it the best series I've managed to catch this year. Loved the opening episode of "The Knick," but haven't had a chance to follow up on it yet. Lost interest in "Extant," but will probably finish watching season one when I get a chance. Haven't caught up with the new episodes of "Utopia" yet. I'm still following "Outlander," but I will save commentary on that one for a later post, just because... From: "Bhairitu noozguru@... mailto:noozguru@...

Along that line for the cable cutters "Blacklist" season 2 is now available on Hulu and Hulu+ as is the pilot for "Gotham". And I suspect as soon as the FX season 2 of "The Bridge" finishes Hulu will post season 2 of the Swedish version.... again since they accidentally had it available for awhile in May.

One of the better cult movies ever made: Bhairitu, I hope I'm not hijacking your thread, but another Netflix to stream is the French series "Spiral". I had recommended it to Barry; as he was looking for something new, and I thought he might enjoy this police thriller. Seems like he hasn't yet written a review. Well all I'll say is that it deserves more attention than any Sam Harris novel. It's a story about Karma and Dharma. Thus the title. Don't want to spoil it for you, so do yourself a favor and WATCH IT!
