http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5193358/The series follows two complete strangers, Lola and Chelsea, who intervene in a fatal carjacking while waiting at a suburban bus stop, and are subsequently thrust into a chase from authorities across Australia with a vehicle filled with cash. The strangers must rely solely on each other while they are on the run.
Netflix calls this a "Netflix Original" but it's really an Aussie show that Netflix has the US distribution rights for...
Well written and well cast, (particularly good chemistry between the two lead actresses) with just the right blend of action, suspense, drama and humor...
There are 2 seasons (12 episodes) available, with season three expected to be released next year...
(Another plus is that unlike some Aussie shows, the Australian accents aren't so thick that you wish the show had subtitles...
)2."The Chicago Code"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1620950/The series follows officers of the Chicago Police Department as they fight crime on the streets and try to expose political corruption within the city. Veteran Chicago Police Detective Jarek Wysocki leads the special unit fighting against the corruption. Wysocki was assigned to head the special unit by his boss, the newly appointed first-female Chicago Police Superintendent and his one-time partner, Teresa Colvin.
Excellent writing and solid performances all 'round (Delroy Lindo as the villainous Alderman Ronin Gibbons is a particular standout) with complex characters and unexpected plot twists.
The show was created by Shawn Ryan, (best known for "The Shield" among many other credits) and ran for one season (13 episodes) in 2011. (It got great critical reviews, but was cancelled by FOX because it wasn't pulling well enough with the teenage crowd...
)(Even though it was cancelled after one season, the underlying story arc resolves by the last episode, so it doesn't leave off with an unsatisfying and unfinished finale, like a lot of series that are cancelled that soon do.)
Two good ones worth a watch if you haven't seen them...
Jim Bob says check 'em out...
