I noticed a month ago or so that 24, which has been streaming on Netflix for many years, rotated off. In it self not remarkable, one of the facts of Netflix life is dealing with such things. But it was a bit odd, given that the new 24 Miniseries is starting soon, and a big part of Netflix' business

I'm glad you wrote this. In addition to Kevin I received 3 or 4 other links to this video, and nobody has yet explained to me the basis for the implication that the guy is overreacting. He actually seems to be very calm, and he appears to be trying to get other people out first, and then himself.
