Netflix Series

So what are you guys watching?

Just finished the second series of Copper which was great for about 3/4 of the two series and then fizzled with some really bad overacting and civil war angst.

We really enjoyed Luther - absolutely superb British crime drama (recommended +++).

Started watching The Fall another Brit drama, but set in Belfast. Painfully slow and we stopped watching the first episode before it was done. Life is too short.

Longmire, Orange is the new black (if you can look at it outside the box) and house of cards

Shaneg · 07-30-2014, 09:16 AM

Second the house of cards

stearns · 07-30-2014, 09:18 AM

I can't recommend Luther enough, it's short enough that it doesn't take long to finish (14 episodes between the three seasons) and is way more intense than any other crime drama i've seen.

Also a big thumbs up for house of cards and (if you liked the original series) arrested development. I watched the first season of orange is the new black and thought it was alright, haven't jumped on the second season yet

Yea - you gotta just love Alice in Luther.

Kevin Spacey remains one of the great actors of his generation. (Although he defined himself with the Usual Suspects, and it's hard to see him as anything other than really sinister!)

pektel · 07-30-2014, 09:47 AM

Goosebumps, Woody Woodpecker, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, etc.

I don't get to pick what we watch.

Although, when it's really late, I will sneak in some Stephen Hawking programs (I believe it's called "into the universe")

In last few years, we've streamed following serials end to end with no commercials (in approx order of how much we enjoyed them):

Older stuff -- Well worth the time:
Firefly - could just be one of the best series ever
24
Rescue Me
West Wing
Prison Break
Intelligence - great Canadian drama - shame it only lasted two seasons
Sleeper Cell - I'd never heard of this, but it is pretty good

Good filler stuff: Winds of War, Defenders, Touch, White Collar, South Park

Tried, but couldn't get into Breaking Bad, Luther (couldn't understand the English accents), Weeds, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy....and a few others

Most of the Netflix originals:
House of Cards - Very good.
Orange is the New Black - Great.
Lilyhammer - Different, but VERY entertaining - I highly recommend
Hemlock Grove - Couldn't get past first two episodes...seemed well done, just not to my taste

Others:

Chicago Code - Great! I can't work up Firefly-level outrage, but dumbfounded that it only lasted one season

The Job - Can't believe I never heard of this. Great! Rescue Me would never have happened without this. Very funny.

Scandal - Don't pay attention to network TV, so this had escaped us....first season was good; second season was sort of good, but as scenarios got wilder, it got harder to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the ride

My wife and I just watched Bones up to the past season finally.

I just picked up Fringe

G G · 07-30-2014, 01:07 PM

Fringe and Bones are great. I also am watching Continuum. An oldie Crossing Jordan. Have watched all of Lost. Nashville and some others I can't remember at the moment. I also use playon with the add on script 1Channel to watch shows right away, since Netflix takes a while to get new seasons. I guess it's questionable whether it's legal.

Watching clone wars series with my son and we both are enjoying it.
Also netflix did the final season of clone wars and it's only available on netflix.

Also Sherlock the wife and I love this.

house of cards kicks ass

makers_fiend · 07-30-2014, 04:52 PM

I have been needing ideas of what to watch next. This has helped out alot. I have watched Merlin, SOA, Weeds, Breaking bad. I don't know if it is on Netflix but Nip/Tuck was pretty cool also. These are in no way order of preference.

nutcracker · 08-01-2014, 07:40 AM

So I picked up on Wallander (the Swedish version). Actually quite good - after episode 2 it becomes intriguing, with rather original story lines. If you can tolerate the subtitles, pretty good. The first two episodes seemed to be to a formula, and while trying to predict the outcome of episode 4, the writers fooled me. Cool. I like that.

Don Fernando · 08-02-2014, 03:08 AM

nobody mentioning Fargo? Of the From Dusk till Dawn series? wow

nutcracker · 08-24-2014, 06:13 PM

Now into "The Killing" season 3. Quite close to home as a few teenage girls have disappeared around here, one found in the Red River a week ago.

Adriftpanda · 08-24-2014, 06:59 PM

The killing. Hands down best show.

hotreds · 08-24-2014, 07:37 PM

Finishing up House. Not sure what my next series will be.

Porch Dweller · 08-24-2014, 09:06 PM

I've slowly been working my way through the new Dr. Who series.
