Travelers on Netflix. Back from the future, as it were. The human race is perishing, and they are beaming back into the bodies of those about die in our time so they can try to correct the mistakes that led to their catastrophic future. Has a little of Six Feet Under/Dead Like Me feel as they show how the hosts are about to die. Finding it intriguing, so far. Will be a long wait for Season Two, as the first season just concluded in December.

Oliver Stone's Untold History of the US. (Netflix)

He obviously is not a fan of any of the Presidents after FDR, but we have no idea what were to happen if their counterpart was elected. He is a fan of Henry Wallace and his ideology. But it is interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. I started watching it with a grain of salt of course, but pretty well done.

Hopefully going to finish the first season of Netflix's The Crown tonight:

This is really an excellent show, generally very faithful to the historical people & events involved, with of course top-notch production all around.
John Lithgow as Churchill is probably the best overall performance: Lithgow has always been a great face-actor, and he acts his face off in this one! Really humanizes the elder Churchill as a mentor to young Elizabeth. Season 1 is as much about him as about her.
But my favorite is really Matt Smith as Prince Philip: he brings so much life, and a lot of humor, to the show--and physically he's a dead ringer for Philip.

Recently wrapped up Luke Cage on Netflix. Loved it as a more gangster type superhero story. Best soundtrack for a show in a good while. Surprised I haven't heard much buzz about it; or maybe I just missed the buzz altogether :shrug:

And agree with the Man in the High Castle praise. Very interesting perspective for a storyline.

Just started Sneaky Pete and happy with it so far.

Anyone try Santa Clarita Diet?

I...I can't even get past the concept. It caught my eye, then I had to do a double-take and haven't pulled the trigger on starting it. Had a co-worker say they struggled with the first episode and it fell short of the humor that it was supposed to provide, but I am still tempted to give it a whirl myself.
