Netflix just added a new war drama — and you need to ignore the critics

Lt. Campbell (Milauna Jackson) and Major Charity Adams (Kerry Washington) (L-R) in "The Six Triple Eight".

After a limited theatrical run early this month, "The Six Triple Eight" is now streaming on Netflix (as of Friday, Dec. 20).

This World War Two drama is the latest project from Tyler Perry and shines a light on a specific chapter of wartime history that many may not be all that familiar with: the work of the 688th Central Postal Directory Battalion.
