I just finished Season 2 of der Pass (Pagan Peak).  It's a decent german/austrian detective drama.  Kind of nuanced but suspenseful.  Good actors.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6905756/

I have just started watching The Lincoln Lawyer for no other reason than to pass time while I am laid up with the flu. It ain't great in my humble opinion, but it's better than a host of other poo on Netflix.

So far.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

SECRET SMILE. 
Utterly dreadful, like a bad Lifetime network miniseries.  It's god's own mystery how they ended up with such a talented cast for this train wreck.  It was one of those movies where people's behaviors defied common sense.  The one redeeming aspect of it was the relief provided by multiple efforts of the pharmaceutical industry to sell drugs or at least to "ask your doctor if --------- is right for you!" thanks to amazon primes relentless efforts to monetize every single thing they show you in video.  They broke this 2 parter into 3 parts, probably so they could squeeze in more commercials.  Tennant continues to impress me with his abilities as an actor.  Here, he was utterly creepy and manipulative.  We kept remembering him as the beleaguered English teacher opposite Catherine Tate.  "Am I bovered?..."
Secret Smile, with David Tennant, Rory Kinnear, et al.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462520/
