    Yeah Ive noticed this too. Loads of flaws in the search function. Should be able to search for actor / character too. And a trailer / snippet of movie or tv show before you press play would be good.

    You can seach for pretty much anything once you're logged in to ntflix.com on your pc/laptop (including actor etc)

    Just started watching it last night. Four episodes in and really enjoying. Ir seems like its disguised as a teen drama but has a lot more bite to it.

    Hope the standard remains high.

    It does, I'm into season 4 at this stage and it's just fantastic. Season 2 isn't quite up to the same standard as the rest, but is still very good, some great moments in it.

    What I love about it is that it just seems so natural. It's so good at portraying the small everyday dramas rather than the big melodramas (which do happen occassionally on it). There's a lot of heart to the show and I think the relationship between Coach Taylor and his wife keeps the show grounded. It's just a pitch perfect show. They do such a good job of making you emotionally invest in the characters.

    Even when it's cheesy you forgive it, because a lot of the characters are the type of people who would say cheesy things from time to time.

    I've been watching Prison Break and 24. Never got round to watching either but they were both extremely popular when on TV iirc :o. Finished S01 of Prison Break and I'm on EP4 of 24. Both are great!

    After watching The Man from Nowhere(again), Netflix started recommending things for me to watch. Came across this Korean drama in the list called City Hunter that had a high rating(4.3/5) and good reviews. I gave it a go and now I'm six episodes into it. It's terrific!
    In 1983, 21 South Korean military operatives are sent into North Korea on a secret mission. After completing their mission, they are executed by their own side in the waters off North Korea in a government cover-up. There is one survivor: Lee Jin Pyo, who watches as his closest friend died beside him. Taking his friend's son, Jin Pyo raises him as his own and trains him with one goal: to take revenge on the men responsible for this massacre.
    Some twenty years later, a brilliant young man joins the international communications team of the Blue House (Korea's White House). Lee Yoon Sung (Lee Min Ho) has but one mission in mind: to find and bring down the five men responsible for the murder of his father and the destruction of his life. To do so, he must hide his identity, his fighting skills, and his true nature. In his quest for revenge, however, he also enacts justice, and is given the nickname "City Hunter" by the populace, who know only of a shadowy figure exposing corruption in their city. Torn between his surrogate father's drive for vengeance and Kim Na Na (Park Min Young), the girl whose courage and innocence touch him, Yoon Sung must fight to survive, and choose the path he will take.

    Netflix offerings seem poor enough at the moment. However I do recommend Californication and Breaking Bad. Quality TV.

    Signed up for a free month's trial and watched the pilot of Dexter, which I'm completely unfamiliar with. Probably not something I'll use long term due to not really having the time and other things being out there, don't know yet. The quality of the stream was good, a lot better than I was expecting - not pixelated. Was able to watch through the Wii on the TV, which was handy. Re recommendations, another vote for Breaking Bad.

    came across 'The Triplets of Belleville' recently. Clicked in to check what it was about, had no inclination/ time to sit down and watch it. Was completely drawn in and ended up watching the whole thing in one sitting - fantastic movie. Would recommend to anyone!

    I have read they have no agreement with HBO? Is that just in Ireland or worldwide? They would be missing out on a lot of great **** if that's the case.

    Worldwide I think. Not much they can do about it. HBO have their own steaming service in the US and a deal with Sky over here

    Watched the 2 seasons of Dexter. Thought it was brilliant, but only 2 seasons out of the 6 available! I can understand Season 6 not being on it as it was recently shown but why not S3 - S5. Will now have to try and find streams/links for it.:rolleyes:

    You see, this is the problem with these services this side of the Atlantic, and they wonder then about piracy and introduce the ridiculous laws that are trying to be put through at the minute.

    I'm sure this show up to S5 anyway has already been shown on the likes of FX. (Rant over :))

    Watched Food Inc. last night. Recommended.

    Firefly !

    I can see why there was so much disappointment when it was cancelled.

    A really great show.

    Watched the first 3 episodes of 'Jericho' last night. Loving it so far. :) It's no 'Breaking Bad', but certainly very enjoyable.

    I'd find it hard to think that they would be removing content after less then a month of being in operation here. I reckon it's just a US rights thing (i could be completely wrong though).

    Not sure if these are available on Netflix in Ireland:
    The League (don't let the sports angle put you off...not your typical US comedy)
    Blue Mountain State (utterly puerile..but lots of funny moments)
    Portlandia (Fred Armisen ripping on hipsters and affected weirdness)
