Run, don't walk, to get this one!

It's available on Video On Demand and DVD on March 1. For slaves Big Ben (Jeremiah Trotter) and Moses (Thomas C. Bartley, Jr.), the only thing worse than the daily cruelty of life on a Virginia plantation is the fear of being hunted down and tortured as runaways. But when Ben learns he is about to be sold to a new owner, he and Moses choose to run to the free state of Pennsylvania, with only the light of the North Star as their guide.

New on Netflix

"House of Cards" Season 4
It's the start of a new month, which means Netflix is adding a bunch of new titles (and taking a bunch away), but the big score is the return of "House of Cards" this Friday. No one could ever hurt the Underwoods as much as each other, so how deliciously vicious is this POTUS vs. FLOTUS marital spat going to get? Put a Do Not Disturb sign on your life until you've finished streaming all 13 episodes. #TeamClaire

Here's the creepy trailer that makes it clear this season will be a horror show:

"Lego Friends: The Power of Friendship"
"Lego: Bionicle: The Journey to One": Season 1
In case you care more about Lego than Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, these two Netflix originals are also dropping on Mach 4. In "Friends," Netflix says, "Five best friends face adventures side by side in their hometown. any antics, love and missteps are better with friends." In "Bionicle," "Six legendary heroes find themselves on an epic quest as they harness the power of nature's elements to defeat the forces of evil."

TV Worth Watching

"Downton Abbey" (Sunday on PBS at 9 p.m.)
This is it. The final episode of "Downton" airs March 6. Lady Mary successfully sabotaged Lady Edith (again) but still got her own happy ending, so now we have to hope that more worthy characters -- i.e., EVERYONE -- also get happy endings so we don't have to write angry letters to Julian Fellowes for the next several decades. Also, however this ends, Lady Mary should be resurrected as a Bond villain or antagonist for The Avengers.

"Once Upon a Time" (Sunday on ABC at 8 p.m.)
The winter premiere episode, "Souls of the Departed," is also the 100th episode of this crazy fairy tale madhouse. To celebrate, ABC is putting the characters through hell, once again, this time literally sending them to The Underworld to try and save Hook. It should be interesting to see so many familiar faces back on the scene, but hopefully the show remembers to focus on the core characters we care about, since they are the reason we're still here 100 episodes later.

"The Last Man on Earth" (Sunday on FOX at 9:30 p.m.)
There's suddenly a plethora of apocalypse TV shows, but this one is definitely the funniest. Don't miss Will Forte's return to the end of the world, at the very least because we need to figure out how he and Mel Rodriguez end up losing half the hair on their bodies. There has to be a good story to that. Plus, Jason Sudeikis's Mike Miller finally landed from space, so will he be reunite with his brother Phil/Tandy or just think he is the last man on Earth?
