Good tip. I'm not sure why it would steer me towards the kind of documentaries I mentioned. I don't watch those except rarely.
To accentuate my selections I over-rate anything I like and under-rate everything else.

Did you get better results with the documentary search?

Yes thanks. I kind of have to wonder why it was narrowed the way it was. I've been on this weird Tudors thing. I've been reading a lot of Tudor history. There is not much on Netflix regarding the Tudors except the historically inaccurate Showtime: The Tudors. But I've been watching it just the same. It's kind of helpful to compare the inaccuracies just for fun.

Do you have separate profiles for each person that uses it? We each have our own and I insist they use them so I'm not inundated with anime and Barbie suggestions.

I saw most of this documentary on HBO yesterday. I am going to watch it all. It is a story of intolerance, control and violence.
RE: Watched on Netflix (or other streaming channels) - Valuesize - 04-06-2016
I'm watching The Railway Man. It's one of those movies that switch from present day to the characters past for half the movie. I'm sure there's a name for that style, but cusen I'm not smart an stuff I'll let Wonky or Tia edjacate me.
It's good. Watch it on Netflix if'n you havit. 
A former British Army officer, who was tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labor camp during World War II, discovers that the man responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him.

This was a great movie. One of my favorite actors (Hiroyuki Sanada) was in this as the present day interpreter. I highly recommend this movie.

Sounds interesting. Not sure if this style has a name other than "moves back and forth in time". Also could be said a non traditional linear story telling line. ? Honestly, I'm not sure.

British comedy.... with one American actor. 1st season (5 episodes only), that was Adam Sandburg as Cuckoo. Second season is Cuckoo's son (from losing his virginity at 13 years old) played by Taylor Laughtner. It's..... different.

I watched half the first episode and deleted it from my list. I do that sometimes if my list has too many better options.

Yep... I have a penchant for British mystery/cop shows. Go figure.
