http://www.deadline.com/2013/02/net...s-from-gaumont-international-tv-jose-padilha/EXCLUSIVE: Gaumont International Television and Netflix may soon be re-teaming for a drama series about notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. GIT is producing one of Netflixs first original series, Eli Roths monster thriller Hemlock Grove, which premieres April 19. Now the U.S.-based production arm of European feature studio Gaumont has teamed with another feature director, Brazilian-born Jose Padilha, for Narcos. The series will chronicle the life and death of Escobar, the ruthless boss of the Medellin Cartel and a known terrorist who was also a congressman, a family man and revered by the poor as a new Robin Hood. Padilha, on whose idea the project is based, is slated to oversee and direct the 13-episode first season, which is eying a 2014 debut on Netflix. Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard (Sorcerers Apprentice) are writing. Eric Newman (Children Of Men) will executive produce.
Padilha, whose gritty Elite Squad thrillers were big box office hits in Brazil, is making his Hollywood directing debut with Sony/MGMs upcoming RoboCop reboot. Newman has worked with both GIT and Padilha and likely helped get them together he serves as executive producer on Hemlock Grove and producer on RoboCop. In addition to the Famke Janssen-starring Hemlock Grove, which is wrapping production, GIT also is finishing filming drama series Hannibal for NBC and is working on its Barbarella series, which is already garnering strong interest from U.S. networks.
Netflix is in the midst of a major expansion into original series with House Of Cards, which just launched, and the upcoming Hemlock Grove, Ricky Gervais Derek and a new season of Arrested Development.
MAD MEN SEASON 5
Speaking of Hemlock Grove...how did I miss the trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlZUsPcChgI
It looks ok...kind of like American Horror Story?
i want to see fun B rated movies.Please recommend some.
The trailer has been in the OP since the start of the thread. ;p
I got a AHS/supernatural vibe from the trailer. Its another show I want to check out when it hits streaming.
Sad to see My So-Called Life go. I rewatch the entire series once every couple months or so :-(
So good.
Anyone know why Season 7 of Futurama is in 4:3?
Expiring in March 1st:
Day Break
I just started watching the new Battlestar Galactica after holding off on it for so long. Loved the original and didnt want to watch the new one as I thought they'd ruin it.
Surprisingly after 2 episodes I love it. Aside from changing Starbuck to a butch female, I think this show is great.
The best thing for me is the music and sound, so subtle and muted. Fits the space theme very well.
Looks like they added Compliance. I think I'll have to be in the right mind set to watch it
I still cringe when I think about how ABC mishandled this. Such a great show. Yes, the premise has been done before (think Groundhog Day + suspense + cop protagonist), but they managed to execute it perfectly on just about every level. Taye Diggs, Moon Bloodgood, Adam Baldwin, and Mike from Breaking Bad. It's on Hulu, too (and for free, so no Plus required), but Netflix has it in HD. This one's up there with Journeyman, folks. See it before it's gone.

You have no clue what you're in for and I don't have the words to convey how much I envy you right now. I've gone through the series twice and both times I was genuinely sad it ended. Top 5 all-time series for me.
Pro Tip: On Netflix, S4E1 is the BSG movie "Razor"(it aired between season 3 and 4). Watch this right after S2E17 "The Captain's Hand" to keep the story in chronological order.
Oh shit. Gonna have to remember that lol
What about Caprica? Do I just watch that after BSG is fully over?

I watched Caprica before starting the BSG series, I really enjoyed Caprica way more then I did BSG still haven't finished itWatch Caprica after. Although, I heard it was disappointing.
Yeah the shows awesome, makes me want to check out other political dramas on Netflix....maybe West Wingit probably goes without saying, but House of Cards is really, really, really fucking good. I burned through the first 8 episodes yesterday.

Good news/bad news time.
Bad news first: the music doesn't stay that way. The guy who composed for the miniseries didn't stay on for the series proper. The music in the first few episodes of season 1 stays really close to that of the miniseries, as the producers wanted to have continuity, but they started letting the replacement composer have freer reign about halfway through the season.
The good news? That replacement composer was Bear McCreary, and his work on BSG's music is one of the best things to happen to television in years. He went the John Williams route on the series: weaving together specific musical themes for certain characters and ideas.
I can't imagine anyone actively disliking the shift, but I'd love to know what you think once you get there.
I've never seen the original Battlestar Galactica series, how do the old ones (78 and 80 are both on Netflix) hold up?

When is Venture Bros and Adventure Time supposed to come out on Netflix Streaming again? Google doesn't seem to be working for me atm.
Is there a master list of much watch Documentaries that are on Netflix? If not, anyone mind recommending some?
End of march if I'm not mistaken.
Watched the first episode of "House Of Cards", found it a bit slow to be honest. I'll stick with it though.
