What are the awesome tv shows or movies on Netflix that I'm missing out on?

[heygrey]

we just got access to american netflix in canada so this is supposed to be a huge freaking deal, but i'm not overly impressed. the only thing i've made a point to watch lately is grey's anatomy. i'm way more into hulu. bachelorette? yes please!

[rex]

I can't stand the bachelor/bachelorette. But I love Grey's Anatomy

Netflix does have a lot, I just think I might have run out of things to watch. I need ideas!

[rex]

I was hoping someone wouldn't ask that, lol. It's a long list.

Grey's, Private Practice, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Office, Parenthood, Friday Night Lights, HIMYM, Dexter, LOST...

I started Vampire Diaries and thought it was stupid. I also quit Gossip Girl after about 4 seasons.

If you don't like The Vampire Diaries, I can recommend nothing to you.

I honestly only watched 1.5 episodes. Should I give it more time?

Weeds, HIMYM, Sister Wives, Lincoln Heights, Bob's Burgers, Glee, Chappelles Show, That 70s Show, Law & Order SVU, My So Called Life, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, Teen Mom 1 & 2, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy,

Best Friend's Wedding, Clerks, Insidious,

I watch a lot of documentaries. It's good for kid's shows if you have any kids.

[mbcdefg]

I watch Bob's Burgers and Futurama a lot.

[peachdragon]

Suits.

Another vote for Friday Night Lights. DH is a coach so perhaps we were particularly inclined to like it, but I'm pretty sure I'd still think its an awesome show.

ETA: Ok this is why you shouldn't buzzed GBCN.... I thought someone else was saying you should watch Friday Night Lights. So did you love it?
I ended up watching Lipstick Jungle sans DH. I liked it.

I loved Friday Night Lights. I didn't like how much time lapsed between seasons 2 and 3, and there were a couple other things I think they really skipped out on but overall I thought it was awesome.

I think there was a writer's strike during season 2, which is why it seemed to skip so much. We were annoyed by it as well.

Sometimes DH will say that I have a lot of Tammi in me (as in I'm being ridiculously supportive or something) and sometimes I will tell him he is having a Coach Taylor moment. Clearly we were impacted by the show!

Satisfaction (awesome Australian Showtime series about fancy "escorts" in a brothel)
Suits is awesome
In the Loop (Brit movie)
Whitest Kids U Kno (very juvenile humor, you have to be into that kinda thing)
Archer (FX series)
Louie (Louis CK if you like the comedian)
Mary & Max (great claymation film)
I Love You Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor, yum)
Being Human (SyFy series)

If you like horror movies, today I just watched (on netflix) and enjoyed "Tucker and Dale vs evil"and Shark Night 3d.

I also watched an episode of Reaper. I wish that show was never cancelled.

seriously.

Thanks for this! I needed to update my netflix queue, especially with summer coming.

But, Vampire Diaries? I just read the description - it sounds like Twilight for TV. I take it that its better than Twilight? Does the girl at least have a backbone or is she just a broody, melodramatic teen that allows men to hurt her b/c they love her?

[sarack]

Gossip girls for sure. Big bang theory.

No. It's not Twilight for TV. It's actually good.

Arrested development. That alone is worth it.
