The Netflix thread

[Danny Dowling]

Personally mainly looking for stuff on the UK one, but here's where I'm at:

Seen:
Video Game High School
Community
Archer
Blue Mountain State

As you can see, my taste is impeccable. I'm at somewhat of a lost as to where to go next. I watched a few episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia but the 4:3 was kind of bugging me.

Anyway, I need something new of the quality that I've been watching already. Please help

If you have access to Canadian Netflix you should watch Hannibal. It's the fucking shit.

"It's Always Sunny..." goes widescreen after season 4 and it's phenomenal. Ignoring the early days of when it was 4:3 is almost like ignoring The Simpsons because it also started out in 4:3. Well, not quite, but you get what I mean.

Spoiler: Super Obscure Die Hard 2 Reference

Super Obscure Die Hard 2 Reference

In one of the season finales, 'Sunny' contains a line lifted directly from the 'edited for television' version of Die Hard 2. If you saw that movie on TV you would have laughed at the absurdity of the edited line. Sunny remembered that line and reused it, verbatim. That was when I realized the writers were fucking crazy.

I'd probably brake this thread if I named everything I've seen, so I'll just saw I love their original content, DareDevil most of all.

obviously i've seen more stuff (including Daredevil, the fight choreography is awesome). But I need more funny that kind of coincides with what is listed.

Blue Ruin and Nightwalker. Both movies were fantastic, if you like strange characters and obscure story-lines don't miss them.

Bojack Horseman, Always Sunny and Trailer Park Boys are the only comedies I would recommend. Deathnote is a much watch if you haven't seen it, and if you enjoy(ed) that check out Psycho Pass as well, a bit too morbid sometimes but the premise and story are good enough that I kept watching.

Used Netflix to get through Better Call Saul, Deathnote, Fresh Meat, Bojack Horseman and a good portion of Arrested Development, as well as a range of movies, mostly horror.

Currently steaming through Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

And yet they still don't have the last season of Fullmetal.

OT: All of my suggestions are from the US version so they may not fit for the OP. Although it can't be all that bad, I had to suffer with Hulu to watch community.
Some of my favorite comedies on netflix are The League, The IT Crowd, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, and Wilfred.

Daredevil, follow by Daredevil and then Daredevil. Did I already mention Daredevil?

Seriously that show is suprisingly good!!!

Wakfu. It is a french animation series based on a free to play game by the same name. Seasons 1 and 2 are on netflix, the specials are not. It is a lot of fun. Feels a lot like Avatar: The Last Airbender in my opinion. I loved the villain Nox.

On UK Netflix, they do have all five seasons of FMA:B.

I guess the UK and U.S. Netflixes have different seasons... that's the case with some other stuff, too, oddly enough.

Yeah I seen that, it's pretty good.

Seconding Daredevil. It is excellent.

UK Netflix has let me down almost every time I've gone looking for something specific to watch on it. I've only kept my subscription because a) I'm too lazy to cancel it and b) I do honestly want to watch House Of Cards at some point.

 

[Lufia Erim]

I don't know whats on the UK version so i'll list what i seen and enjoyed.

In no perticular order.

Lie to me
house Md
Daredevil
House of cards
Pretty little liars ( DONT JUDGE ME!)
MLP FiM ( i'm not a brony i swear)
The Guild
video game highschool ( it's so bad, it's funny)

The reat are anime

Atrack on titan
Death note
Psycho pass
Knights of sidonia
Samurai chapaloo
Fate Zero

Those are my favorites of what i have watch on netflix not counting movies.

 

[IceStar100]

Daredevil

Turbo both movie and there cartoon

All hail king julian

Avenger Assemble

Yeah I tend to go for the animated stuff.

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

I'd recommend The Almighty Johnsons; New Zealand series about Norse gods reincarnated down there, really good comedy.

Misfits is also a solid show, UK origin and crude humour like some of the rougher Archer.

Suits is a good choice if you like really smooth dialogue in the same vein as Community, but with less metajokes (also, Sarah Rafferty).

 

[Johnny Impact]

I have American Netflix, not sure how different that is. Anyway:

Netflix doesn't have Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but that's a fucking fantastic show.
Currently devouring JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but again, not on Netflix.

(thumbs through History)
Shows
Ultimate Spider-Man is great for over-the-top silliness.
The Avengers cartoons (at least two different series) are pretty good. Also try Justice League or Justice League Unlimited.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Six or eight people have already mentioned Daredevil. Yes, it's good.
BoJack Horseman seconded.
Louie features the brilliant Louis CK basically portraying himself.
I am assured Danger 5 is the bee's knees. Haven't watched it myself but my friends are usually right.
American Horror Story. First two seasons anyway. Third one is kinda meh.

Movies
Stitches. A dead clown rises to take vengeance on partygoers who lampooned his act. I am not making this up. So bad it's good.
Pain & Gain is about a trio of idiot muscleheads trying to ransom a rich guy. Hilarious.
The Big Lebowski. Of course, that's just, like, my opinion, man.
Hot Fuzz. Really long buildup, but if you can get through it, the payoff is tremendous.

I recently went through M*A*S*H on Netflix (not sure about region avail) and then... started over from the beginning again. Maybe it's that I've gone thru so many other series on NF that I've run out of good ones and am just waiting for more content... but mostly it's because it's so good. I'd seen most of them when I was younger, but it was good to see them again.

Oh and Venture Brothers. I'm not sure how much of it they have (I've bought the dvd's) but that's right in that list's wheelhouse.

A month ago I finally decided to give Netflix a whirl, and oh boy I don't regret it.

So far I've mostly been watching a lot of Weeds, The West Wing, Anthony Bourdain shows (No Reservations, Parts Unknown, etc) and a ton of documentaries ala Inequality For All. Most of the other popular shows on there I've already seen.

Especially The West Wing is just so damn amazing, I didn't even know what I was missing. If I had known Martin Sheen was in it I'd have watched it sooner. That man just owns the screen. Weeds is a pretty funny comedy about a sub-urban housemum who starts dealing weed. And I have to admit, it helps that she's just unholy levels of cute.

I add the odd episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Brooklyn Nine Nine and a movie every now and then. Watched Bruce Lee's Big Boss/Fists Of Fury a while back and that was pretty rad.
