Can we get a thread going where we share Docs we've really enjoyed recently . Im a Doc nut and threads like this always seem to turn up something amazing I haven't seen before. I'll start with a few Ive enjoyed. I think these are all available streaming on Netflix last I checked. These are on the more popular side and have really amazing production value, but if this thread gets rolling, I'll take the time to put some low budget GEMS in here too...
