Watched the first episode of Alias Grace last night and really enjoyed it. Its based on a novel by Margaret Atwood, who is also a supervising producer on the show.

It's about an Irish women accused of murder in 18th Century United States. Very well made.

Another network successfully adapted The Handmaid's Tale, also by Atwood.

Started watching Suburra: Blood on Rome.

My God, the voice actors they brought in for the English parts are awful. Changed it to the original Italian voices with English subtitles and was so much better.

Not that it matters but I think it's Canada rather than the US.

I was reading on Twitter that Netflix are going to lose It’s always sunny in Philidelphia at the end of December which will be another big lose for them

I think Netflix is planning to move predominately towards streaming solely their own content by 2020.

Watched Brooklyn, twas grand, simple storyline with a couple of funny parts.

Hmmm I wonder if by 'own content' they include all those network shows they take credit for by dint of some money thrown the studios' way (Star Trek Discovery, Good Place, The Expanse, Riverdale, the list goes on).

I think doing deals with Networks like that is probably the way forward. It solves the piracy problem if shows are available to stream legally the day after they air in the US. I'd be surprised if we don't see more and more of that kind of content on Netflix. Obviously they will still need to produce actual original content to attract customers from places like the US who could watch all those shows with a basic TV package

IASIP isn't going to disappear from Irish Netflix when it does in the US. It could eventually, but the deals are seperate.

Gloomtastic!

Should have been in bed 90 minutes ago!!

Damn you Line of Duty Series 3. I had to finish it, you could literally feel the tension, absolutely brilliant telly!

Grand by me. These days I get annoyed if a channel over here (or the U.K.) gets a show I want to watch because it means not getting it on Netflix.

According to this website https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/when-will-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-leave-netflix/ its only the U.S that will lose the rights as the U.K still has a exclusivity deal with the show.

Most of Breading Bad episodes seems to be back as well I don't know if there's any missing from the 5th season.
