I want to say this has been on Netflix the whole time! They certainly 
had it before I cancelled Netflix, because it was one of the things I 
was considering watching (because of Skovbye) before I cancelled, but I 
never got to it.

If it went to another streamer in the meantime, it wasn't one I get!!

This, OTOH, is new to The 'Flix - it was on Hulu for a long time...

Hmmm... Would have been interested in this, for McShane.

Is there naked nudity?!
(Not that it matters! - Nobody gets Netflix!!)

And they want us to believe that Peltz can still pass for a teen?!

May watch, or may record for later viewing...
