Netflix - What gems have you found?
Discussion
On the topic of documentaries, watched Let The Fire Burn on Netflix US yesterday. Just posted this in the Good films I watched this weekend thread, but pasted it here too....
Let The Fire Burn - more of a documentary really than a film, but found it on US Netflix and was hooked. It's about an organisation (not really a cult, but not far off) called MOVE in Philadelphia in the 70's / 80's that took a stand against modern living, and the police / authorities took a major dislike to them resulting in them trying to flush them out of a town house in 1985 with the ridiculous idea of using an explosive dropped on the roof by a helicopter to do so, resulting in them burning down 61 houses and killing 11 people. Film is put together using old grainy footage from the time and is really quite shocking just how corrupt (and stupid) the authorities were. Well worth a watch.

Trailer Park Boys is amazing and really lends itself to the Netflix binge-watching style that I like to do. Done the first two seasons now. Knock knock.
I love Trailer Park Boys."Why're you always driving cheeseburgers into that thing?"
"I only eat chicken burgers!"
"That's a f
king lie, I've seen you drive 15 cheeseburgers into that thing in one go!"Netflix UK August update http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv...
Orphan Black series 1 - I watched S1 and S2 on BBC Three and I like it a lot
Bojack Horseman - coming on 23rd, heard good things. Will Arnett and Aaron Paul voiced cartoon about a whisky drinking horse and his human friend

Orange is the new Black season/series 2 is now up and running
I started on season 1 this week when I ran out of Lillehammers, it's pretty good - I'm not sure why but I was reluctant to give it a go but I'm glad I didThey've recently added all series of The Shield (or I've recently found them, may have been there ages), been interested in that ever since I watched the Wire as it's of a similar ilk. Liking it so far, only on season 2 so plenty of viewing left!
