Netflix....TV series offerings.

[SP1966]

Just remembered The Returned! It is IMO a great twist on the Zombie genre, though it is in French so if you don't speak it, and I don't, you'll have to settle for captions. I typically refuse to watch captioned television but the story here was so phenomenal I got drawn in and by the end of the first episode I didn't even notice I was reading the story anymore.

I'm a fan. Met him this weekend at a bodybuilding show here.
just brainstorming my faves.

Howdy velocityrob....
"Brainstorming" is the idea here....once I get a brain I'll be able to participate.

Dammit....sorry I missed the meeting with MJW.
He's certainly gained some mass over the last couple of years.
He seems like a good guy from a nobody's POV so hope I'm not wrong.....I have been wrong in the past.
I did see Falcon Rising but will likely check it out again once it's on Netflix.
I still think Blood And Bone was noticeably better.
He plays a good bad guy too: IE Cobra Rising, something like that.

I've seen little of Firefly but it didn't do much for me and seemed too slow paced but that's not a criticism.
Black List is definitely part of the 'added to my list' queue.
I'll check out your other suggestions also as some are on Netflix.
I have no problem with nine buckaroos a month for what they offer.

deadwoodgregg.....
I haven't tried Justified as of yet but will peruse the story line/reviews for further consideration.

CBB....yes....I've noticed that too regarding sequels of of movies and the original not be available simultaneously which is a PMO (piss me off).

SP1966....never cared for the zombie movies but my wife refers to me as one on occasion.
On spread with you and a few others for the comments.

Hope I live long enough to view all the suggestions.

Thanks to all for chiming in.....carry on.

Top of the mornin'....

I did notice S3 had started a couple of days ago so maybe it will maintain the 'quality level' you refer to for subsequent seasons.

I just don't care to DVR it and have to forward through the commercials.
I don't mind waiting until Netflix offers it.
I agree....I dig that series.

Thx for chiming in....

No I meant why start with season 2 instead of season 1? A lot of the surprises would get ruined that way.

[mcbourque]

Sounds like you might become a fan of Game of Thrones too. I haven't watched a single episode yet but there's a few people I know who are obsessed with it.

Good call! GoT is my favorite show ever I actually bought the series on iTunes and read all the books! (Books first, series after).

[joeyhannan]

I can't believe I haven't seen Californication mentioned in here yet. I was (and still am) pissed that it is over. Something about that show just had me enthralled in it!

Also really got in to Nakita, Prison Break (as previously mentioned) and Once Upon a Time as well. I'm more into shows that have an extended story line and not ones like the CSI type shows where each episode has an ending to it. I want something to keep me wanting to see the next one.

We just started Breaking Bad ourselves...so far so good!

This isn't remotely like any "Zombie" movie/show you've ever seen! People long dead suddenly show up, the same age they were when they died and not knowing they died. It isn't a feeding on brains type of show, yet at least. Watch the first episode, you'll be hooked!

[Frnkd]

Been watching Arrow for the last couple hrs- really mesmerizing since the back story is given in morsles. Much like how LOST was presented. How did I miss it? Will definetly be a fan.

When I started watching if you would've asked me what my interest in green arrow was on a scale of 1 to 10 I would have said a 2. I thought I would watch the first episode, roll my eyes, and never watch another one. Now it's one of my favorite shows.

Oh shvt....
I should have qualified more clearly that we did see season one already on Netflix.
Then, the wife got an email from them reminding us season two was on.
I liked the idea of being updated based on on previous viewing history of the series.

Thanks....

Got it....will revisit your recommendation.

The 'Once Upon A Time' series was also similar.....like two stories going on a the same time.
At times I actually have to think to keep up with the filming technique.

I can't tell what is the truth ...lol with all the "lies" to survive that prevail....shades of LOST, really. I'm only on the first season!

That makes a lot more sense!

Unlike Lost they actually answer questions.

[OzChops]

Not sure if it is offered on Netflix but my favorite series right now is "Justified".

I too thoroughly enjoyed Justified, and eagerly await season 6.

You guys just ruined me! LOL I'm now on episode 18 and I can't stop watching this!!!!

You're welcome!

Top of the morning...

Just finished up:
Leverage (77 episodes)
Fast paced enough for me, various plot scenarios, acting and characters were convincing and lastly the soundtrack is good too.

Numbers
Wife liked it better than I did.
After a season I found that math guy character a bit annoying with his obtuse math take on everything.
Some quirky character stuff and I didn't care much for the lead cop actor.
Personally, I wouldn't revisit this one.

Blacklist
Arrow
Once Upon A Time
We both like all of them and await subsequent seasons.

Currently in the 'My List' queue and have no clue about them as of yet:
City Hunter (20 episodes) which looks like it has interest potential. (UPDATE: Korean language only with subtitles by default...no patience for that)
Nikita with Maggie Q (works for me )...plot could totally suck I and still might like it with her in it. (UPDATE: watched a few episodes with my better half tonight and we like it thus far. You like Maggie Q. kicking azz, peppy pace, OK acting with an interesting yet typical action plot?....it's worth an audition.
Oh..about that scarlet bathing suit MQ is sporting in the opening scenes of episode 1.....ah...never mind. ).
Bones....not sure about this one yet. If plots aren't up to snuff, slow pace or it injects too much romance fluff between the two characters I'll lose interest.
Twilight Zone...just because, even though I've seen them all countless times.

That's my take on 'em....carry on.

[Wayne Evans]

Well....

Just noticed last night that The Shield has landed in the Netflix bucket.
I'm hoping it's a worthy watch and will visit that one after we finish up the Nikita series.

A good day to all....carry on.

[Bando]

Tried Arrow last night - Meh.

The 100 is a must see for Sci Fi end of earth fans

Terra Nova - started strong, getting pretty cheezy in a hurry, also sci fi

[beachguy498]

I hope to sit down soon and watch every season of Trailer Park Boys... very funny so far. I've seen odd episodes here and there, supposedly came from the Canada version of HBO.

[cowboybiker]

Agents of Shield is on Netflix.

Haven't figured out how Coulson survived being stabbed through the chest by Loki in the Avengers, but I'm guessing he's a clone.

[Chowboy]

Can't believe nobody has recommended Sherlock Holmes, *** version. It's bloody brilliant.


On edit. WTF??? B_B_C is censored?

[Bando]

It can stand for another term that was bandied about in the misc until the moderators get sick of threads about it.

Hmm, yeah I think I get it now.

Yeah....that occurred to me also.
But, as I stated in my previous thread I look forward to giving this one a shot anyway and hope it's worthy of viewing time.

EDIT: just recently noticed The Flash is on season 1 now and I've read some mixed reviews for what it's worth.
Guess I'll find out later this year.

Carry on...

I like the flash so far, my son loves it.

Also will echo others that have said "justified", great show about to start it's sixth and final season.

I like it as well, at least better than the Arrow. The main actor is better, in my eyes anyways. And I think there is an appeal to those
geeky characters transforming into heroes, plus this one actually has a super power rather than just some stupid bow.

Love sci fi shows and The 100 Bando mentioned. Might be the case for any show but I just feel that the networks may
cancel them at any time or just as you start getting into the story. Got excited about Aquaman a few years ago but that
didn't even make it past the pilot.

Carry on:....

Cool...
That's a couple of endorsements now (thx Frozensparky) so I look forward to The Flash.
The 100 doesn't grab me because the end of the world apocalyptic story lines bore me pretty quickly.
Don't recall Aquaman but it sounds like it could be an appealing character.

Regarding cancellations....
Don't hold this against me but I (and the wifster) liked Dresden Files with Paul Blackthorne and it was cancelled after 1 season.
Guess the fan base was less than moneymaking.

Thanks for keeping this one alive. (on spread)

Love your sign off.

[bodyhard]

NETFLIX sucks it doesn't have any porn!

[Bando]

The one thing I did like about the Arrow is that the main character looks like he lifts a little bit and is not the typical skinny boy lead (ie: Jax Teller) so prevalent today.
