<\/div>\n

Everyone settled in for the semester? We haven’t brought you a new batch of titles since July, mostly because we’ve been working through our enormous backlog. By our count, we’ve cataloged over 150 new items since last time, including a good number of new and returning television shows.<\/p>\n

In the interest in promoting a wide variety of content, we want to highlight a few items that are polar opposites. Pretty much everyone loves The Lego Movie<\/i>, but we also acquired the entire series of The Shield<\/i>, beloved Korean body-swapping soap opera Secret Garden<\/i>, Lars von Trier’s highly explicit Nymphomaniac<\/i>, cult British acting tour de force Orphan Black,<\/i> and a documentary about the unproduced version of Dune<\/i> by Alejandro Jodorowsky.<\/p>\n

(We also got our hands on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!<\/i>, by far the most surreal program ever to air on television<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Hit the jump to see what we got our hands on in the last month…
