Definitely.
Something a little different in terms of depth of character I think.
Great show and looking very unlikely there will be a season 2. Will be left be for sure.

Once in a blue moon Netflix make a stand out film.
A House of Dynamite - which dropped yesterday is one of them and I`d wager it may win an award or two.
Produced and directed by Katherine Bigalow, who did the Oscar winning Hurt Locker.
Without warning a nuclear missile is launched from an unknown location in the Pacific, heading straight for Chicago.
No one knows who launched it or why, just that it`s going to destroy Chicago and most of the area around it.
The film focuses on the initial disbelief, then panic of the US administration, as they desperately try to stop it and whether they should launch retaliatory strikes in the face of Russian and Chinese denials of the missile.
The building tension is palpable, as is the horrible creeping dread, as the realisation that there`s nothing they can do to stop it hits home.
Stellar cast and very well written ( Rebecca Feguson, Jared Harris and Idris amongst the British contingent )
Very sobering viewing and I have to admit that I didn`t sleep well last night after watching it.
Can`t recommend it enough.

I find Netflix documentaries a bit hit and miss, but I'll give that a go.
Two others on there I thought were pretty interesting were The High School Catfish and Beauty and the Bester.
Both pretty mental revelations, especially the latter.

Loved it. My missus, not so much, but basically just down to the ending.
I predicted the ending, she didn't and was most disappointed it didn't go the way she thought it would.
I thought it was outstanding. Definitely be up for many awards

I thought the ending was perfect, including the scene with Jared Harris, which although gut wrenching, really rammed home what was about to happen.
Very sobering viewing and a would have very happily paid money to see it at the cinema.

I still would, having already now seen it
