I've been watching the anime series, Full Metal Panic!
It's kind of a combination between magical girl, high school, and military mecha anime. I'm not sure that I get it, but I'm having fun with it.
Netflix often recommends stuff based on my recent watching. Not necessarily the best way to find something I'll like, since recently I watched a lot of anime, MST3K, and documentaries on the Manson family and Jonestown ...
So, the recommender offered me an hour long "web series" called The Confession, which turned out to be pretty amazing. It stars Kiefer Sutherland and John Hurt, and was quite unexpectedly good.
I'm also watching Place of Execution, which is a Masterpiece Theater mystery based on a book by Val McDermid (but isn't part of the Wire in the Blood stories).
