Moll Flanders (1996)
The incredible Alex Kingston stars in the BBC adaptation of Moll Flanders, the seminal, early novel by Defoe of a woman and her turbulent existence in 1693 England; being born at Newgate Prison, reared by the Mayor of Colchester, a wife, unknowingly to her brother, and just escaping the gallows to travel to the slave-shackled shores of colonial Virginia, wherein the story returns full circle. In the interim, Moll proves herself a fighter, a survivor of the class struggle as much as an adventuress and hopeful upwardly-mobile swimmer in it, and reveals both the hypocrisy of the male-dominated world of sex and money, as well as the flatulent outpourings of the Church-dominated society that will hang a child for stealing a handkerchief but allow gentlemen to carouse and womanize to their pleasure.

Inside Man
So, I just binged Inside Man on Netflix. It's easy to binge, it's only four episodes. But, more important, it's a verging on insane, fast ride of a murder story -- actually more than one murder story -- and it touches on all kinds of life and death issues. It also probes the meaning of parental love, and even has some lethal comedy throw in. Truth is, I've never seen anything like. And you should, too. It's that good, that unique, and memorable in all kinds of ways.
