Stephen Fry has become quite popular among the Internet Generation in the United States, and it was with great delight that I noticed Netflix had finally released his documentary miniseries, Stephen Fry In America, to their streaming catalog.

Known among many of our readers as the delicious and mischievous liberal media identity from V for Vendetta, I find it extremely agreeable that many of my American peers are beginning to discover a lot of Fry’s other work, from his comedy days with Hugh Laurie, to his current and ongoing panel series from the BBC called QI.

I can’t think of a better selection for our first Netflix Streaming review than by taking a look at the myth and the legend behind Winnebago Man, otherwise known as Jack Rebney. This documentary, first and foremost, begins as a keystone indicator of the Internet Age. While online connectivity and the ever-developing growth of the world wide web has changed our perspective over the last decade, it became broadened even further with the debut of a web site that we all seem to take for granted now: YouTube.

Geeks Of Doom has a long tradition in bringing our readers good quality reviews in a variety of media. From comics, books, films, and music, we’ve always done our best to give you our honest thoughts and opinions, even if they don’t fall within the contemporary hivemind opinions that permeate across the web.

And in the ever-changing landscape of media formats and availability, it’s time that tradition continued to reflect the latest accessible releases.

In a world that now sees online streaming, or VoD (Video On-Demand seems to be the cliché buzzword at the moment) becoming a dominant wave in the future, one of the leaders in this field is Netflix.
