It is deliciously addicting.

[Luciferous]

23. Yes it has and it was really good!

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. I mis-spoke....meant season 6, now realizing I have seen season 5.

22. Oh boy! I just pd for PBS Passport, wondering what to watch!

[Fla Dem]

5. Been trying to decide if I should add that one to my watch list.

It's been out for a while, 2016 and they started filming a 2nd season in Feb. Only 6 episodes in 1st season, so I just might give t a look.

Another good Australian show is Glitch. A bit of the Scifi genre, but it held my interest and I'm waiting for a 3rd season.

6. A lot of Brit, Aussie, and Kiwi programs are only a few episodes.

Glitch is good!

7. Just binged it... 5 stars from me!

These are my fave non-US crime dramas on Netflix...

Happy Valley
Marcella
The Five

I dunno, I'll think of more.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. Cool! Thanks!

10. Finished it last night. Good drama. Twist in the end.

Read they stated filming a 2nd season in February.

Makes me sad though to see even the Aussie's can be corrupted. I know it's fiction, but........

[Laffy Kat]

11. Thanks for the thumbs up.

I'll start it tonight.

12. Def def def binge worthy n/t

13. I find it hard to understand Brit and Aussie accents.

I have a hard time understanding Brit and Aussie accents. I tried turning up the volume, I sat close to the TV so I could lip read, I closed my eyes to see if that would help. There are so many good British programs on Netflix, but I get so frustrated, I give up on them. What's the secret?

14. Turn on subtitles.

It opened up a whole new world of awesome quality shows. I love British crime dramas.

[zanana1]

18. I can't get subtitles on Netflix shows.

I went to "settings" and clicked on subtitles but they didn't show up. It worked great on CNN, though!

19. It depends on what device you are watching.

Usually, there is an option below the progress bar called "Audio and subtitles"

You need to turn it on per show, sometimes it's not a global setting... Below is a link from Netflix describing how to enable subtitles on various devices...

20. You can also try the 'CC' button on your TV controller.

Sometimes Netflix (or a DVD of an old TV show) doesn't go out with subtitles, but the closed captioning information is still encoded for your TV to translate.

I've also noticed that I've had to reselect subtitling on Netflix or Amazon even if I've done it before a half a dozen times.

21. YESSS - why dont people use this - not only for Brit/Aussie shows but for US black dialects - this

white Midwesterner is not ashamed to admit I used subtitlest throughout season 1 of The Wire cos I couldn't understand the black Baltimore lingo - CANT IMAGINE watching that show without it - so much I just would not have understood. By season 3 my ear had become tuned. Ive read that one of the reasons The Wire wasn't a huge commercial hit when it first ran was because so many white folks couldn't understand the lingo. That's really sad! We got the technology, lets use it!

15. I too occasionally have trouble with the accents. Scottish is the worst. I just listen carefully and

pay attention to context. Fortunately one of my best friends of more than 35 years is cockney so I recognize a lot of English slang. It also helps that I’ve visited Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
