So, I just got Netflix today, and I'm kind of watching stuff like an autistic child who's just been giving candy in a video game arcade.
What do you recommend?

I marathoned all of Doctor Who on Netflix. Also watched Battlestar Galactica, Torchwood, and Merlin. I gravitate toward scifi/fantasy stuff there, though.
No interest whatsoever.Quote:

I can't remember what else is on Netflix but I'll go through my list of favourite shows later and look.
Archer
Futurama
Girls Bravo
Shuffle
East of Eden
Monk
White Collar
Lie to Me
Sacred Blacksmith
Watch all those freaky documentaries about fetishes.
These exist?Quote:

Only Freedo has any taste.
increasingly poor decisions of todd margaret is okay too

I spent a whole evening watching freaky sex documentaries with an ex-roommate on Netflix.Quote:

watch human centipede too. you'll thank me later.
STRANGE SEX CLO
The Increasingly Poor Decision of Todd Margaret is great. oh my god, felix the cat is on here. Netflix has totally stepped up it's game in the last few years.
Archer
Bob's Burgers
Firefly
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (oh hell yeah)
Hoarders
Home Movies
Louie
Parks and Rec
The IT Crowd
UGLY AMERICANS SHOULD BE ON EVERYONE'S LIST
Wilfred
dawson's creek
Sherlock
Firefly
Doctor Who
Battlestar Galactica
Breaking Bad
There's also plenty of great older shows like Star Trek, Buffy, etc. And Weeds is on there for some mindless fun.
And if you're into crime/investigative dramas, Lie to Me is entertaining.
If you watch Buffy we aren't friends anymore.
Downton Abbey!! I think season 1 & 2 are both on Netflix.
Also:
Friday Night Lights
Angel
Wow, Miriel, this is seriously one of the shows I was thinking of watching! :DQuote:

Buffy's awesome. Explain your unnecessary hatred before I tell Spike you're talking trout.
Spike Spiegel?Quote:

Sherlock!
How has no one said Peep Show.
Peep Show.
Also throwing in recommendations for the following:
Doctor Who
Battlestar Galactica
Arrested Development
Firefly
hfs I am ashamed I did not think of this immediately.Quote:

Yes, Peep Show.
Also, Father Ted.
Cowboy Bebop isn't on Netflix but it is on my DVD shelf! Billy Idol copied other Spike's swag, man. That speaks volumes.Quote:

I admit, if it weren't for Netflix and my persuasive friends, I wouldn't have watched this show and actually... become a fan. ;.; I used to be so stubborn about accepting a new style of pony.Quote:

I forgot, they had Stargate and then removed it for a while. :mad:

I saw TOS on Netflix. All of that and TNG should be up there, at least in the US.Quote:

PARKS AND REC

Your opinion is suspect given your adoration of MLP.
Your opinion is negligible given your identity.Quote:

I've been recommended to watch Buffy, Mad Men, Breaking Bad and X-Files on Netflix but keep coming up with excuses not to.
No, it's not. But then, neither is MLP, and yes, I have watched it. :pQuote:

I actually know who Bunny is, so that's why I value his opinion.
This is good news. Either I missed it the first time I checked, or they didn't offer it yet. :monster:Quote:
