Netflix had been pretty disappointing as of late. I was spending a lot of time flipping through TV shows and movies, but not finding anything worth watching. But all of that has changed now that they've added one of my favorite shows and one of my favorite movies. Neither of them is hugely popular, but they're both very good.

First off: The Glades. It's a TV series about Detective Jim Longworth, who is charmingly annoying. I don't usually watch police shows, cuz they're too violent and icky for me. But this show is different. It combines witty humor with clever sleuthing, and just a tiny bit of a love story, and the crimes have usually already taken place so there's not a whole lot of violence and stuff I can't watch. The Glades is a pretty universally friendly TV show. It's on it's third season on A&E.

Also, Warrior (2011) is now on Netflix. When I first saw trailers for this movie, I thought to myself, "Oh jeez, another brothers fighting each other movie, but using MMA instead of boxing. I hate MMA." And no body I knew watched it or said anything about it, until my fiance was bored and decided to watch it. He loved it and insisted that I watch it. So I watched it. And it was amazing. Yeah, it's about two brothers who end up beating the crap out of each other. But all of the characters are so complex and so incredibly HUMAN, that you inevitably get drawn in to the story and their personal struggles. And I love Tom Hardy.
