I watched Manhunt (about the unabomber) and Mindhunter (how FBI profiling began) on Netflix. I tried to watch Wormwood about the CIA MK Ultra but can’t recommend it.

On Amazon Prime I recommend Come Before Winter, true story about Sefton Delmer and Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Nazis.

NARCOS.....Neflix, story of Pablo Escobar and Columbian drug lords. well worth the watch.

Amazon Prime: Comrade Detective series

AP description: In the 1980s, millions of Romanians tuned in to Comrade Detective, a gritty, sexy, communist buddy cop show that has now been digitally remastered and dubbed into English for the first time by a cast featuring Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jenny Slate, Nick Offerman and many more.

Tatum was the one primarily responsible for having this series dubbed into English.

In a brief commentary at the start of one of the later episodes, he was asked why he went to the expense of having it dubbed, rather than just subtitled. He responded: Nobody wants to read subtitles.

I concur and wish more TV/movie productions would do the same. If I wanted to ‘read’, I would get a book. Also, reading subtitles causes the viewer to miss anything going on in the actual movie. We know it is a movie or TV production, so use ENGLISH and drop the subtitling. Subtitling does NOT make it seem more authentic.

Czas Honoru (Time of Honor) - A Polish series about the Polish Underground during WWII.

Netflix corrupted regular TV viewing when they introduced binge watching.

I luv it.

Even with my TiVo, I will record an entire season of the cable series, then binge watch the episodes. With TiVo, I can speed through commercials or skip them on many recordings.

IMO any analysis of the USSR by Russians is suspect.To me anyone who studies the fall of East Germany through eyewitness accounts and the examination of the many East German documents that weren't destroyed in the final days can easily come to imagine hoe the USSR *actually* was.

Just sayin'...

I like a lot of streaming series and programs.

Black Mirror on Netflix has 3 seasons online 4 episodes per season. Each episode is a self-contained story. Kind of Twilight Zonish and mostly futuristic.

Now Amazon will counter with Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams Jan 12. I’
ll check that out.

Liked Godless on NF and most any westerns.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee switching to NF for season 10 next month. I like seinfeld and the insights into stand up. Some of the conversation is funny. Each episode is a different comedian so you can pick your favorites.

Illinois Democrats were once conservative

How did it come about that
the Archdiocese of Chicago undercut Catholic legislators
resisting contraception programs targeted against
Chicago-area African-Americans?

Again, we have to turn to our declared enemies—in this case a journal trumpeting the contraception and abortion line—for a candid account of the betrayal of our cause by our own leaders.

Illinois Aid Commission Article
Drew Pearson, March 3, 1963

In 1963, the non-Catholic governor of Illinois, Otto Kerner, appointed a non-Christian millionaire, auto-parts industrialist and art connoisseur Arnold Maremont, to chair the Illinois Public Aid Commission, successor to an Emergency Relief Commission created in the Depression.

Maremont was adamant that contraceptives be provided at State expense, explicitly targeted at African-Americans, first in the Chicago area, with plans to go statewide later. In this he was resolutely opposed by Catholic lawmakers—a majority of whom were Democrats—who passed legislation in the Springfield statehouse outlawing the plan.

But defeat was suddenly snatched from the jaws of victory (to mix up a metaphor) when, after a confidential meeting in the back of a proverbial, black limousine between a high official of the Archdiocese of Chicago and a population-control official, the Church inexplicably okayed Maremont's plan.

Confused Catholic lawmakers went along with this stark reversal of the continuous course of Church teaching since the beginning. Today, two generations after the detritus of the sexual revolution has settled down, the proportion of European-American children born to single mothers stands at about 40%, the same as the rate of non-marital births during the 1960s to African-Americans. Thus we see that, in the treatment of our society's less privileged members, "what goes around comes around".

We might expect that members of ecclesial communities who have departed from the Catholic fold would fall for this, especially after the confusion sewn by the 1930 Anglican Lambeth Conference permitting contraception within marriage

But in acquiescing to the spirit of the age—an evil spirit, as Pope Paul VI warned—officials of the Archdiocese of Chicago shirked their duty and paved the way for the organized and coordinated dissent on the part of 600 Catholic "Theologians"—many of whom weren't theologians at all —against Humanae Vitae, the Church's 1968, authentic reiteration of its ancient, ordinary magisterial teaching on the inviolability of the transmission of human life in the marital embrace. The Chicago Archdiocese's arrogant cowardice would bear bitter fruit a decade later, in the Roe and Doe decisions which have cost the lives of more than 50 million American children.

It’s not subtitled is it?

[Stevenc131]

Broadchurch, Seasons 1,2,3. Seasons 1 & 2 were the best although season 3 was still very good. Overall the best TV the wife and I have watched in a long time.

Bkmrk.

Thank you. Always looking for something I can sink my teeth into.

If you’re looking for suggestions, The White Queen I thought was very good. It’s about Elizabeth Woodville, wife of Edward IV, and the women behind the Kings. White refers to the House of York. I noticed it on that Prime page.
