Binge on “One Day at a Time” beginning January 6, 2017
The new Netflix original “One Day at a Time” will hit your queue on January 6, 2017. I’ve been waiting for this since I first heard about it. I’m glad Netflix shared a release date and a trailer (see below): When no one else is there to tell you you’re wrong, there’s always family. Nobody […]
A great reason to watch “La Reina del Sur” — USA producing “Queen of The South”
I missed “La Reina del Sur” when it ran on television, becoming a runaway blockbuster and prompting (almost by itself) the narco-novela genre of Spanish television.

“El Chapulín Colorado” is now on Netflix
Amidst the furor over the release of “Orange is the New Black” Season Three I nearly overlooked another important addition to Netflix this month: “El Chapulín Colorado.” This iconic Mexican comedy show ran from from 1972 to 1981 and was the creation of comedian Roberto Gómez Bolaños, who passed away earlier this year. The show combines […]

Netflix original “Orange is the New Black” returns with Season 3 on Friday, June 12, 2015 (today! today! today!).
