    Black Mirror is fantastic, although there are a couple of episodes that are hit and miss. Each episode is a stand alone story so there's no big commitment getting into it and there's not that many anyway so you'll fly through it.

    yup, I cant see what's so good about lillehammer, I gave it 5 episodes before throwing in the towel.



    From Dusk till dawn is actually ok (surprisingly), the guy playing george clooneys part does a great job.

    White Collar
    Suits

    House of Cards (UK)
    From Dusk till Dawn
    Jack Taylor
    Black Mirror

    Broadchurch gets my vote from that list. Have just started watching Rake - promising so far.

    Suits is alright for a while but it gets very repetitive after a series or so.

    My recommendation to anyone watching suits is to pretend that the last episode of season 3 is the last one ever made, and then move on with your life. Up to that it was great, but season 4 just grated on my nerves.

    I can't even remember if I made it that far. I did love it initially but at some point I just stopped.

    The 'My List' feature only appears on the region your account is registered in so when you go on holiday to America and access Netflix with your Ireland registered account (for example) your 'List' does not appear.

    Other options include playing a few mins of a title so it appears in your recently watched or you could set a user rating of a title and it may then influence the 'top picks for user' algorithm.

    American Horror Story - first two seasons are excellent, especially the second one. The third one was a major let down.

    Just spotted Labyrinth on US Netflix, how long is that there? I've been looking for it for ages.

    Anyone watch it recently, how is it for a 5 year old ? I don't remember it being particularly scary but I was obviously a lot older when it came out.

    Quite scary for 5 year old. If my kids are anything to go by. Not terrifying but there was a few scenes they weren't keen on at all.

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Although she has a fondness for scary things, she's always asking for scary stuff. She watched a load of episodes of Goosebumps one day and loved it. Anyway, the subject of a baby brother getting kidnapped may disturb her more so than anything given she has one of her own whom she idolises.

    I watched the Warriors on Irish Netflix. The acting was crap, the fighting was very fake, they beat up a gang of girls and they spent half the movie running away instead of being Warriors.

    I really have no idea why i thought it was brilliant, but it was. :D

    Cult classic for many and a classic in my eyes. So cheesy but cool as feck!!

    Really stating to get annoyed now by stuff getting removed or rotated out , added Forest Gump of all things to my list last week with a view to watching it tonight and it's now gone :mad:

    Just spotted Go there while I was scratching my head for films I haven't seen in ages and it came up so I'll 'go' with that :pac: Remember enjoying that one in the cinema.

    Edit: Wow just started Go and looks like they sourced the copy from transfer from a well used cinema reel

    I watched Random Acts Of Violence on US Netflix last night, it was really good. One of not many films to use the documentary/found footage approach effectively, with some great dark humour along the way.

    Watched a movie about Amanda Knox on US Netflix. Never seen it before and is was a quite unbiased version of what went on over there. Worth a watch. Chick from Heroes is in it.

    Funny how I went onto US Netflix to find a new TV series to get into. Five hours later, I leave my room after watching a documentary on North Korea, Hispanic gangs in LA and 3 episodes of humans: the story of all of us.

    Who said tv is a waste of time :D

    Yeah stuff disappearing really pisses me and others off.

    And yeah, some titles I guess are from digital copies made for early DVDs. I came across a film recently that still had reel markers/cigarette burns.

    fantastic show; even for those who wouldn't usually enjoy sci-fi

    last season was a little disappointing however
