| The new show, "Lilyhammer" with Steven Van Zandt (Sil in The Sopranos) sure looks good, available now only on streaming. A gangster turns informant/witness protection goes into witness relocation in Lilyhammer.

| "The girl with dragon tattoo", if you don't mind reading Swedish subtitles. Then "the girl who played with fire", and lastly "the girl who kicked the hornets nest". A fine trilogy all the way. |

| We watch a lot of British mystery and police procedural series on Netflix--Midsomer Murders, Kingdom (with Stephen Fry), Inspector Morse... The pacing is very different from their American equivalent, but with that caveat, if you like that sort of show, you might dig these.

| Luther from the BBC is one of the best copper shows on Netflix.
Highly recommend it.

| DO NOT miss the Buck documentary on Showtime and streaming on Netflix. Beautiful. Ugly. Profound. Interesting. One of those things you watch and learn about yourself and each other. Horses are great creatures to watch, too.

Thats a good one Chief! <g>
"The Debt" with Helen Miren was excellent, watched recently.
We're watching "Contagion" now, also very good. |

| Not sure if it is on Netflix but the remake of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a great movie while puffing away. Definitely a movie to pay attention too and better if you read the book prior. |

I was looking at that one, wasn't it a tv series? I tried reading the book, but it reads horribly (or is that just me?)
The new remake looks terrific. |

| There was an Alec Guinness version 20 years ago. I love the book as well as others with George Smiley. This version was a movie and very detailed. |

Yes, that was the television series. It is available on Netflix. I've heard it was very good.

| If you don't mind reading subtitles, " Castaway On The Moon," 2009 Korean flick. If you watch it and honestly don't like it, I'll send you a tin of your favorite tobacco (within reason), Simple Man. Not kidding.  |

| Watched a couple of episodes of Downton Abbey on Netflix last night, highly reccomended.
