Hidden Netflix Marathon Gems to Watch Online
MilesAhead:
Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to adjust brightness watching Netflix using Silverlight? It will play in both chrome and firefox, but if it's too dark to watch I can't find any control to adjust brightness/contrast. Some of the videos look like the cameraman left the cap on!
JavaJones:
What system are you playing it on and what is the graphics card used? What is your normal media player and do you have the same problem there? (presumably not) If you did at some point have a similar problem in other media players, how did you correct it? It's possible Silverlight is using "overlay" mode or some other specialized video streaming display system, which may be controllable by advanced settings in a graphics card driver.

Intelligence (2006), a canadian cop+criminal tv series like "The Wire":
http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Intelligence/70153374
2 seasons, about 20 hours in total.
A Canadian version of The Wire using people you'd recognize from da Vinci's Inquest and Battlestar Galactica. Intelligence is an engrossing crime drama told from the point of view of both the ambitious feds (they call them "Horsemen" for the Mounted Police in the White North) and the successful but challenged organized criminals. Like the Wire, Intelligence is talky in a rapid fire way that requires you to play close attention to each scene. Miss a couple of short scenes while you go for snacks and you'll be lost. Also like The Wire, it respects its audience to feed them realistic characters and situations. You get to follow along closely with the double dealing office politics of the feds, the shrewd confidence games of the crims, and the arrogant incompetents in both camps who keep everybody off balance and in danger. Meanwhile, everybody's got issues with their ex-wives or ex-husbands. This is one of those shows that pulls you in so deeply into the lives of the characters that the time just flies.

Don't rule out other sites for marathons...especially free ones.
I had a mini-marathon last night of old episodes of The George Carlin Show, on the WB site.
