Only July 2 and already some interesting series: Gentlemen & Gangsters (Sweden), which I had to add to My List from my computer; Croma (Argentina), also had to add from my computer; and The Strange Calls (Australia). I had to go to IMDb to figure out what these series were about. IMDb shows a cover for The Strange Calls with a caption that says "A Hulu Exclusive Series". Apparently not that exclusive any more.
