Thought I'd create a thread for us to discuss all the cool shows/movies we've found on Netflix (or other streaming service). I've found Trailer Park Boys. Hilarious mockumentary out of Canada following the residents of a Canadian Trailer Park. 7 seasons @ ~22 mins a pop with 6-10 episodes per season. As with any show, you gotta give it a couple episodes before really understanding the characters and the interplay between them. Check out IMDB for reviews. A lot of people call it stoner comedy but I think it goes far beyond that. I'm also a big fan of Cosmos on Netflix. Carl Sagan walks us through the Cosmos in hour-long episodes, teaching us the science of the stars in a very simplified manner, all while wearing a turtleneck and sportcoat ensemble. God I love that guy. |

I hate to admit this but I really liked Romantics Anonymous. |

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I didn't start watching Breaking Bad until they put it on Netflix. Amazing show. Besides that... Battlestar Galactica Wilfred Burn Notice Shameless (the UK version, I love the US version on showtime and wanted to see the source material) Just added Sherlock to the queue as well. ^_^ |

Some of my favorite tv shows have already been mentioned (Breaking Bad, Burn Notice, Walking Dead) and here are some others: Top Gear (U.K.) Archer Drawn Together Firefly Nikita (the series) Weeds and my guilty pleasure: Desperate Housewives As for movies, I enjoyed some of these Asian cinema flicks: The Good, the Bad, the Wierd IP Man 1 and 2 My daughters are big into Anime now, so they got me so sign up for Hulu Plus so they can watch Bleach and InuYasha, but I am annoyed that Hulu still has adverts even after I pay for their service. |

Speaking of Anime, I've also been watching Fruits Basket, which is fairly family friendly, and pretty damn funny. |

BRONSON This movie was way out there, based on a true story apparently. I thought Tom Hardy's acting was pretty good.. |

Actually, I am seriously considering setting up Netflix so appreciate the suggestions guys. Blank, I've been watching a lot of Archer lately and the Ip Man's are very good! |

Nice recs guys, I'll add a few of these to my already-overloaded queue. I tried a few Animes thanks to Netflix. DeathNote and another one (forgot the name) which had to do with a guy waking up naked outside the White House with a cellphone giving him access to a billion dollars. I was going to watch Cowboy Bebop since it came highly recommended, but before I could watch it Netflix dropped it from streaming. I still have a few others in queue (including Archer), I just never have the time to watch them what with Rugby, MMA and TPB each week Lol Dav and Zero, yeah I love the 'Boys'. Even got my dad watching them. He's clueless about all the stoner stuff, but with such great characters it doesn't matter much. Season 6 and 7 have faltered a bit imo, but I stick with them because they deserve it. I hear they do a live show now, but it never comes West Coast so I'll have to wait. |

Oh, speaking of manga I should have mentioned Shinobi: Heart Under Blade. It's a live action portrayal of Basilisk. Very much in the same vein as Naruto. |
