So the Facebook algorithm suggested "River" on Prime in my feed the other day.  British police procedural starring Stellan Skarsgård.

We're three episodes in and it's really good.  Surprised it's 10 years old and had never heard of it.

September 5 - movie that tells the 1972 Munich Olympic hostage crisis from the viewpoint of the ABC control room. Pretty good show all around.

That is an excellent movie. I was happy they didn't try to replace Jim McKay with an actor and went with historical footage.

Biopic series from a few years ago: GRANT.  Very, very well done and revealed so much history I never knew before.  Brit actor Justin Salinger portrayed Grant and did a fine job of showing how USG never lost sight of the objective.  Plotline shared common themes with Surly CR threads.  Grant was branded “dictator” for sending US troops to quell mobs during Reconstruction.  When Grant died in 1885, Reconstruction was essentially over and America devolved.  Jesus, my _grandfather_ was born in 1880!  A gritty, bloody biopic.  Sherman was right.  War is all hell.
