So I just go Netflix...

I know I live in the dark ages...

So far I've watched:
Flawless (diamond heist flick)
Sum of all Fears (spy thriller)
Clear and Present Danger (spy thriller)
Double Jeopardy (crime drama)
The Double (spy thriller)
The Peacemakers (crime thriller)

And a few documentaries...

What is next... There are toothy choices nd I need help, I obviously have a favorite genre!

Not the best "Jack Ryan" but I feel like it really shows pretty accurately (and scarily) what might happen during a nuclear crisis.

subtitles and loved it when I found that they had been done as a mini-series with each movie an extended edition. There is enough added footage to make it worth watching the extended editions.

I have seen the following:

Copper
Ripper Street
Sherlock
Upstairs Downstairs (both the original and the recent productions)
The House of Cards (original British version that Netflix used to inspire their version)

I love British Shows and Netflix has a lot of shows available.

There's two "seasons" out so far, but a season is only 3 episodes. Each episode is about 90 minutes, I think.

For movies, I'd recommend "Layer Cake" if you haven't seen it yet, it's sort of a crime drama starring Daniel Craig, but I'm not sure if it's on Netflix.
