Review: “Mank” Streaming on Netflix
Mank, about adult-beverage-loving Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, a.k.a. Mank, is one of the newer original offerings from Netflix.

In short, it’s the type of movie that the pretentious critics and compliant functionaries who vote in the Oscars like.
If you’ve managed to get through the 30 episodes of The Writer on Netflix, you might be interested in Tango, a compelling whodunit also produced by Eagle Films of Lebanon. The TV series currently streaming on Netflix stars the same two actors as The Writer, Bassel Khayyat and the stunning Daniella Rahme, and with the same director, Rami Hanna.

The no-nonsense Hamer brings another Ranger colleague out of retirement for the road trip pursuit.
The one-season Egyptian television series Disappearance (original name Ekhtefa) by writer/directer Ayman Medhat is currently streaming on Netflix. According to the Netflix summary, “A university lecturer in Russia returns to Egypt after her husband’s sudden disappearance, uncovering further mysteries the more she investigates.”
Nothing says Christmas like a kick-ass crime drama, right? Over the holidays, you might be scrolling through the Netflix menu — or another streaming platform — trying to find something, anything to watch that looks interesting. This is otherwise known as first-world problems.
