Great News For Mystery Movie Buffs !

I watched the entire Longmire series on Netflix, a couple or three episodes per sitting. Well-written and well-performed, as well as thought-provoking.

Unfortunately Bosch is not available (yet?) on Netflix, and I don't receive TV--although I haven't tried the online outlets for current TV programming.

Peaky Blinders is just as excellent, a real page-turner--if such a thing can be possible for a TV show! One of my buddies sports Tommy's haircut, in appreciation.

My gold standard for comparison is still Breaking Bad--which includes the current prequel Better Call Saul. Both are written with an attention to detail that is absolutely insane!

If you're looking for Wiemar Germany's detective action, I heartily recommend the series Babylon Berlin. It's not particularly political, but a bit of the intrigue foreshadows what we all know was coming.

+1 on Babylon Berlin. Those Germans had some really loose morals regarding lifestyles for the times.

I've read that they are assembling as much of the original cast as they can for a feature length movie that will conclude the the tale of where and when the 'Deadwood" series ended.
