Bloodline
While everyone is loving House of Cards, I vote Bloodline the number one Netflix original drama. The story follows a family living in the Florida Keys, with a lot of secrets. It’s a puzzle of past, present and future scenes that come together piece by piece for a satisfying and dramatic conclusion. A thrill-ride you’ll definitely enjoy! (Netflix)

The costumes and scenery are exquisite and the writing has the infectious Jane Austen wit we all know and love. (Netflix)

Mad Dogs
I think of this show as Entourage meets Bloodline. Four men are invited by a college friend to his beautiful home in tropical Belize. When they arrive, it’s all fun and alcohol…until things take an unexpected turn for the worse. Mad Dogs is a thriller with a lot of comedic hijinks along the way. (Amazon Prime)
