Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Huh. I went to school with Kevin (undergrad) and played in a band with him. So I wouldn't be surprised if we had a few other mutual friends as well.

huh! wild. i bet we do...

is The Glades any good? never even heard of it until i saw it was on netflix. but i don't have cable anymore. would watch alligator cop show if its halfway decent. a chicago cop is REALLY a fish out of water in this spicy crime drama.

they're REALLY convinced i'll like that one.

i think because i watched the bones spinoff set in florida or on an island or something like that.

but i tried to watch csi miami and felt discomfort and existential self-loathing so i'm not so sure about florida.

they think i'm gonna love THE GLADES too. i blame that episode of longmire i watched, and also rockford.

The Glades was okay in a guilty pleasure kind of way in the first season. They had a marathon one weekend and I was sick and watched the whole thing. Second season was essentially an hour-long Kia commercial every week. The most hackneyed, embarrassing product placement ever. I felt sorry for the actors having to say their stupid lines about the stupid Kia. Haven't seen Season 3 but my husband assures me it's still terrible, still a Kia commercial.

I watched Orange is etc etc. not bad!

i'm watching pilot of glades now. its okay. standard stuff. probably don't need 30+ episodes in my life.

i could watch longmire all night long. watched them all.

I binge-watched those after in orbit mentioned it in Facebook. Longmire!

I tried The Glades, thought it was terrible. But...Longmire!!

I am very late, I know, but I just began watching Sherlock. I've been informed that I am now obligated to post Benedict Cumberbatch gifs on my tumblr.

i watched the first episode of Psych last night. pretty entertaining (even though completely implausible). i might watch more of those. never saw it before.

their Twin Peaks episode was great

Saw this the other night. It was hilariously bad. At one point a woman gets killed BY A TURTLE.

I love Psych. They have good jokes.

i finally started sherlock last night. fell asleep halfway through the first one though but it was late. like it although it's hard not to think Cumberbach is doing the Doctor as Sherlock and makes me sad that because he did one he wouldn't be able to do the other, because he'd be awfully good

otm

he's a v good inscrutable Holmes

my only gripe with Sherlock is that it looks like it was shot on Instagram; and the constant sound effects get a little maddening at times

Not having ever really watched Doctor Who, I guess I'm bless that I won't keep making constant comparisons.

we watched TWINS last night. pretty bad movie. but i love danny devito.
should i really watch more longmire? he seems so... not tough. like the sheriff from no country for old men if he was a wuss.

helen started to watch The Killing after I fell asleep, she is hooked. should i watch that? i have to catch up.

i like the middle of nowhere thing about longmire. and the indian reservation thing. and last but not least the kara thrace thing about longmire.

i kinda don't feel like going back to Fringe...i dunno, its a commitment. i'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. and the alternating oh no the world is gonna end/ho hum xfiles unrelated/unconnected episode thing kinda bugs me. i mean you would think the end of the world would be the only thing they were working on.

scott have they gone to amber fringeworld yet? because that whole setup is pretty choice.

no, not yet. can't remember where we are. somewhere in season two i think.

okay i checked we are on s2 e12.

i think s03 might be the best

at least stick around for a few more episodes. You get the Peter Weller one and this:

oh and i watched the expendables 2 the other night. i enjoyed the action sequences. not so enjoyable when there is any kind of lull or any scene where people aren't killing people. but luckily there are few of those kind of scenes.

already anticipating the next one. mickey rourke! jackie chan! wesley snipes! mel gibson!

"On May 22, Stallone confirmed he needed a "Young Sigourney Weaver" and after passing on Milla Jovovich, started eying other MMA talent."

i mean duh beckinsale.

will probably go back to fringe. got hung up on orange and new girl and some movies. and now i kinda wanna watch Psych...

it was nice of The Glades to tell me in one pilot episode that i didn't need to continue. i'm in and out.

and i want to watch Battlestar again. maria hasn't seen it all the way through. she would kinda/sorta watch it a little when i was watching it but i got obsessed and she got lost and found other things to do when i was watching. i think it would be fun to watch with her. i just hope my heart can take watching it again. that show kills me.

scott definitely, DEFINITELY hang around with Fringe at least til the Peter Weller ep. It's the best of the series imo

Or just watch that one, It stands alone. Plus, Peter Weller.

Peter Weller guest stars in a Psych episode too.

Thinking about cancelling this and just going with discs and amazon prime. Any reason not to?

The exclusive shows may have a season 2, but you could resubcribe later

i am fond of peter weller. who isn't?

he can turn the world on with his smile.

Thinking about cancelling this and just going with discs and amazon prime. Any reason not to?

what if you get like a super strong urge to watch lesbian dramas but suspect that this urge might not last until the usps shows up with your disc?

lol

interesting article

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/07/17/orange-is-the-new-black-is-the-best-tv-show-about-prison-ever-made/

no non-comment hits for ctrl+f "oz" = no need to read that article

lol and then of course i scroll through and see it's about actual women's prison experience so nevermind

If you need like a fifth opinion repeating the same thing, yes Scott, you should definitely watch the Peter Weller episode. (You can skip the 1930's one tho')

Is that when they went back to kill hitler?

oh no do they all act like they are from the 30's? *groan* the only episode of army wives i didn't watch on netflix was one where everyone goes back in time to world war II. *groan*

Psych is funny cuz its corny and goofy and it reminds me of stuff i liked when i was a kid. its a nostalgia show in some ways. so perfectly at home with itself within its fake t.v. universe, so rigidly formulaic. i dig that. i was a big fan of tenspeed and brownshoe and simon & simon and corny stuff like that when i was a kid.

and that lead guy is a perfect mix of ben stiller + tom cruise + steve carell.

I don't think there was a 1930s episode for reals

There was a 1980s one where you saw Walter in his full brain days

Wasn't there one where Walter eats a pot brownie and dreams that his life is a musical or something?

Yes that one. I guess it was like noir-ish or something
