Netflix - Recommendations

I see the other thread, but it's not quite hitting the question I have.

From browsing some of the other threads on Netflix on boards, there's a small list of series for me to watch

Dexter
Breaking Bad
Arrested Development

any other recommendations for quality series worth giving a chance to?

Walking Dead is pretty good

Heroes it's cancelled now but was an interesting series

All the Prime Suspect is on there

Helen Miram finest role

Dman001 · 14-01-2012 1:10am

The first few seasons of The Office are very good! 24 is another highly rated show, that I've yet to get around too. Worth watching Heroes for the first season alone, excellent TV!

The 4400 is good, but I soon got bored of it. Have also heard good things about Brotherhood!

Minstrel27 · 14-01-2012 1:55am

Brotherhood is on there? Nice one. Been meaning to watch that for a while

basillarkin · 14-01-2012 1:59am

Breaking Bad, you will not be disappointed

CamperMan · 14-01-2012 2:03am

Trailer Park Boys!

Yes you need an Xbox Live Gold subscription you can buy them fairly cheap at xboxlivecodes.com

moonflower · 14-01-2012 5:13pm

I've been watching Weeds, it's pretty good.

It's abit unfair having it on the live subscription isn't it. Is it the same with sky player on xbox?

Btw The Walking Dead isn't on it, the Irish version anyway

fusuf · 14-01-2012 5:20pm

I started watching Weeds, it's hilarious and the main character is a total milf.
Today I watched about two seasons of The Office in HD it's the funniest series I've ever seen (the uk version would be a welcome addition to the Netflix library). I might get into watching Breaking Bad after seeing the first episode

Yup and you also need to be a sky customer, just dont buy your XBL subscription from Microsoft as they shaft you on the price.

There's a workaround for changing your DNS settings to point at American servers this will allow you to see American content.

I just finished the three seasons available on netflix. I'm a bit disapointed that our version of netflix doesn't have all seasons available like the US one does.

gafarrell · 15-01-2012 11:46am

Just finished 3 series's of The Inbetweeners. Funny enough.

NotorietyH · 15-01-2012 2:25pm

If you have access to the US Netflix they have every episode of Friday Night Lights. Just watched first episode and really enjoyed it. Supposed to be a great series.

They also have Sports Night. Aaron Sorkin's TV show that he did before the West Wing.

I don't think Weeds season 4 and beyond was ever shown in the UK or Ireland so Netflix would have to pay a substantial amount of money for "first airing" rights I'd imagine.

Doesn't make sense to do that at the moment I guess.

Sky have shown it. Season 5 and 6 are available on Sky Anytime+ so probably wont be seeing any more seasons on Netflix over here for a while. I just wish they would release seasons 4 and onwards on Blu-Ray over here. They were region free until season 3 in the states :mad:

S.M.B. · 15-01-2012 4:45pm

Ah right, fair enough. It gets a bit ****e after season 3 anyway.

:pac:

Technocentral · 16-01-2012 3:48am

Just found US version has Red Dwarf, every episode and all Father Ted's and Blackadder's!

Tragamin2k2 · 16-01-2012 4:10am

there a way of gettin netflix for free? i dont mean the one month trial, i mean after it

No. You will need to pay for it.

heebusjeebus · 16-01-2012 10:06am

I'd recommend "The Thick of It". Shame they don't have the movie "In the Loop".

Orizio · 16-01-2012 9:38pm

Check out 'Breaking Bad' most definitely. Does anyone know if and how they will be expanding their selection? Seems a bit sparse at the moment.

DeWitt · 17-01-2012 2:53am

Has anyone found any shows or movies not listed in the genre selections? Looking through their tv category there's not much, but I saw another subscriber talking about Dirty Sexy Money, did a Y search & whatd'ya know there it was. Strange it's not listed in their catalogue.

8-10 · 17-01-2012 10:52am

Can anyone tell me if Six Feet Under is available on it? I've gone back to Season 1 (can't believe that was over 10 years ago :eek: ) as the girlfriend hasn't seen it. I only have seasons 2 and 5 on boxset so need to stream the other 3.

Found some very good, not exactly paid for, streams for it but would prefer no hassle searching for links.

Quality show btw. If it's on Netflix I'll sign up today.

thirtythirty · 17-01-2012 11:06am

If you like "different" UK series', check out Nitey Night (think that's how it's spelled).

It's one of those unknown but pretty entertaining series

sweetie · 17-01-2012 11:10am

On the us version I recommedend Portlandia and the Increasingly bad decisions of todd Margaret
