    Yes, a BBC original. Not Netflix. Copper is BBC America.

    I don't understand ppl who do this. Not even half of tv shows or movies end up on Netflix so what's the reason?

    Watch the first episode last night. Not too shabby.

    I still have cable, but I stream a lot. Netflix.

    And then Showbox app and Chromecast to the tv / projector for new shows and new movies.

    Because video streaming is the future of entertainment.

    Customers doesn't need all the channels they get.

    So might as well stream their favorite shows online instead of paying a bundle.

    Just finished the season. I'd say about the same. It's pretty decent, but not on House of Cards level.

    Who is everyone's favorite character? I really liked Byamba. Just seemed like an honest guy who told it like he saw it.

    Hundred eyes is pretty awesome!



    The show is pretty decent but not at the level of House of Cards.

    Started watching this over the weekend. Got through 7 or 8 episodes. Show has definitely hooked me. I'm gonna spoiler some specific stuff since it is a Netflix show and probably a lot of people haven't gotten thorugh all or most of it yet.

    How hard was it to watch the scene when the Chancellor starts the binding of his nieces feet? I actually cried out a little when he broke her toes initially and I NEVER do that when watching TV. The intercutting between that and the other scenes that were going on was really masterfully done but man...that was some hard stuff with the little girl.

    Just started watching last night. This show is awesome.

    As far as watching in 4k, does it automatically show it in 4k if you have the TV or is there a special menu for 4k shows?

    I believe the only way to do it at moment is through the Netflix app on your Smart TV. You also have to upgrade your Netflix account to stream 4k.

    First few episodes are kinda slow but the last few episodes are really good. It's not Game of Thrones in quality but still very enjoyable TV.
