 Both of these services require a local library card and pin number. Most American libraries have partnership associations with either or both. Documentaries, rare tv mini-series and educational films in general are their specialties. But they also have lauded/popular full feature films as well. If you've seen anything worth watching on either service, share it! |

  Wolf Hall (2015, Peter Kosminsky)After the downfall of Cardinal Wolsey, his secretary, Thomas Cromwell, finds himself amongst the treachery and intrigue of King Henry VIII's court and soon becomes a close advisor to the King, a role fraught with danger. Based on the novel by Hilary Mantel.
Slow, dark but excellent mini-series currently streaming free on Hoopla. Interesting doc on author Hilary Mantel and her experience writing the novel above. I just found out she passed this year. R.I.P.

This series was excellent. Sir Mark Rylance was fairly unknown to me so a real treat. Well worth putting in your viewing queue. 8/10 on the imdb - Imagines the past, instead of merely reflecting the present
- The best BBC drama ever.....Bar none
- Exquisite production, superb acting and, at last a realistic Middle-Age lighting
- Cromwell walks (fearless) among giants
- Superlative drama at its best
