I like House of Cards (Kevin Spacey), The Fall, Peaky Blinders, and Still Game. For movies, I am happy to say that both Spotlight and The Big Short are now on Netflix. I hope there's at least one in the list that you haven't seen.<br /><br />JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-27492306363905929542016-12-14T14:30:34.620-05:002016-12-14T14:30:34.620-05:00I just watched "Assassination Tango", st...I just watched "Assassination Tango", starring Robert Duvall.
