    We watch ALL of our TV on Netflix. We watch a couple of hours of TV most evenings, during dinner and afterwards. We always have a few shows on the go at any one time. Right now we're watching Supernatural (Sam Winchester FTW), Psych (funny and charming) and Babylon 5 (spaaaaaace!). That last one's not on Netflix, actually, but I have it on my computer because I ripped it from DVD copies my family used to own.

    Hate that time right after you finish something great, and you spend days trying to find something new to watch, but nothing compares the excitement of your previous show.

    No, it's a thing.
    “Access to Netflix isn’t just a pure numbers game because it will always depend on what it is you want to watch, and the specific rights Netflix holds in each territory,”Finder.com explains. “That doesn’t even extend to Netflix Originals series, where (for example) in Hong Kong, Netflix doesn’t stream House of Cards due presumably to the rights having already been assigned to another broadcaster.”

    They only recently expanded to more countries and in those countries they had already had rights with broadcasters to show their originals. Those deals aren't up so they don't have them on netflix.

    Man I dunno where this "Netflix isn't that great" stuff is coming from, there's so much to watch on Netflix I'm never gonna have time to watch it all.

    I guess maybe because I have US Netflix? *shrug*

    Good idea!

    Arrested Development is gonna get a new season btw. That's reason enough for Netflix IMO.

    My household has Netflix, but I rarely take the opportunity to actually watch anything with it. I have a backlog of video games too large for me to not play first.
    Although, if Game of Thrones were to air on Netflix, I might be inclined to ignore all my gaming systems, because that's the only series to interest me in forever.

    HBO Now has Game of thrones! Different streaming service but you can get it streaming without buying full HBO with your cable now!

    There is an app you can get on Roku and probably other streaming devices that picks like 3 things for you to watch on Netflix based on your recommendations and interests. It narrows it down quite nicely.

    Yeah, well, if they're selling their exclusive streaming rights they've got themselves to thank.

    I was off sick last week from work for 3 days - I watched the entire Narcos series and I'm now watching Pretty Little Liars. Narcos was incredible!

    ISN'T IT?

    I haven't met too many who have watched it. It's soooo good.

    I started watching Narcos and got a decent chunk of the way through it but I just sort of tapered off. It was good, just not good enough to hold my attention once other stuff came out.

    You could always set up multiple TVs and watch a bunch of things at the same time. What could possibly go wrong?....
