Help me decide if I should keep Netflix

[RoxMonster]

We've had Netflix streaming since Feb., and I thought it was awesome at first, but now I don't know if there's enough stuff to watch on it to be worth it. It seems like anytime I think of a movie I want to watch, it's not on there, so we end up paying monthly for Netflix PLUS then we have to either pay Red Box/On Demand, etc. to watch said movie (this should probably go in the FWP thread lol).

I have watched a considerable amount of documentaries on there, but not with enough frequency that that alone makes it worth it IMO.

What are some of your favorite Netflix streaming movies or TV series? H and I prefer to watch TV series together more than movies, so I'd love some recs on TV shows.

We have 2 shows we want to start watching (Homeland and Six Feet Under) but neither are on Netflix, so I hate to pay for Netflix and then also pay to get these shows some other way. But if there are some awesome shows on Netflix, I'd watch those instead.

Shows we already watch/watched, both Netflix and non-Netflix:
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Weeds
The Office
30 Rock
NCIS
Parenthood (more me than H)

I think it is worth it for House of Cards alone.

If you haven't watched this yet, you should.

I like streaming netflix but we don't watch a lot of tv. I think that they switch out their material often enough that it doesn't get boring for me. I also still redbox newer movies if I really want them but that's only once a month or so.

We just watched The Fall (BBC Northern Ireland) and really liked it. They also have the first 5 seasons of Mad Men and all of West Wing.

We just cancelled ours. We have Amazon Prime and stream the shows on there through the XBox.

I watched a few seasons of Greys on mat leave

I love Suits, White Collar, and Burn Notice.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I do watch Grey's; I forgot to put that. And even though I've seen all of Dawson's, that would be something fun to re-watch when H is at work

I'm bookmarking this and sharing with H when he gets home. We should start on a new show this weekend.
