Episode 5 of Escape to Dannemora. Nearly unbearably tense! I still think this series is dragging its story out for too long, but it is VERY well done in all other regards.
And is a recorded Broadway show appearing on Netflix a legit "TV show"? Either way, I watched the just-dropped Springsteen On Broadway and it was OUTSTANDING.
I've never been a raging Bruce fan - I've never seen him live, and I only have around five of his earlier albums - but it's hardly news at this point that he's a tremendous performer/guitarist/songwriter/observer. Still, this intimate solo (aside from a couple of tunes where Mrs. Springsteen joins him) acoustic performance is revelatory, and organized with the narrative through-line of spoken material from his autobiography, extremely moving. While there's certainly no lack of great Springsteen performances already available, it's fantastic that this essential summation has been recorded for posterity. Highly recommended!
