Breaking bad was the first series I tried. Pretty good. I watched all 5 seasons in 1 month. The wife and I watched orange is the new black and we are waiting on the next season this summer. If you like science fiction with lots of violence then try dark matter.

They add new content literally all the time.

The 1st of every single month they dump a ton of new stuff on there and then most good stuff or New releases for their original content is added throughout the month

Maybe I just don't like their stuff then because all I like are TV shows and even then, there are only a handful on there.

You've only explored about 1% of Netflix then.

You can go on and on listing just the Netflix originals. That's not even counting all the tv shows that originally aired on tv

I'm thinking he knows, but he just needs some threads to "jangalang" because it's been a while since he was kicked off the Auburn board

I've had Netflix for a while and I most certainly know the content that it offers. Like I said, there are only a few more shows I'm truly interested in.

Last Chance U was a "Netflix original" and it sucked. I couldn't even finish five episodes despite JF3 being in it. If a dumb athlete looked on the ground and found 20 dollars, the show would've been an instant upgrade.

He didn't say every single one was a hit, but there are a lot of really good ones.

Are you not tired of me embarrassing you yet?

You still think that our 4 out of 5 completed RB passes for a grand total of eight yards plus an interception on the incompletion were successful play calls.

And I've already watched and/ or am caught up to a lot of good ones. This conversation is kind of ridic.

Well that's never happened before, sooo.....

Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen you win an argument with any poster on this site, let alone "embarrass" someone.

Wrong answer.

Again, tell us how our RB passes were successful and maybe the memories of me chewing you a new one will jog your memory.

Lol my nonexhaustive list of shows that I can think of right now can't prove anything for you because like I said, it's the quality and not the quantity that matters for me but whatever.

Caught up/ finished:
Jericho
Walking dead
The Flash
Arrow
The 100
Orange is the new black
How to get away with murder
Reign
Prison Break
Justified
Grey's Anatomy -watched with wife
Lost
Sons of Anarchy
The 4400
Dexter
Spartacus
Weeds
Revenge- watched with wife

Plus others like Last Chance U that I gave up on pretty quickly.

I too, have went through IMDB's top movies list and tried to find them on Netflix. There are a lot of old classics that I haven't seen but they aren't on Netflix.

I also feel like the categories have a lot of overlap and it's hard to find things without searching for them directly. I get the impression they are trying to push certain movies and shows.

I'm sure they are manipulating the stars rating to make their shows seem better too. Shortly after Fuller House came out it had the lowest rating I've ever seen on there.

Just saw it in the categories the other day and it's now rated like 4.5 stars? I call bullshite.

That said, I love Netflix.

One day I watched V is for Vendetta (again) just to help give my wife a glimpse of what living in an oppressive society is like, and that's probably the only movie I've seen on Netflix.

Well I've watched a lot of great shows and movies on Netflix and I only like a few of those that you've listed.

I've also seen most of the IMDB top 250 on Netflix at one time or the other.

People have their own preferences I suppose. I'm sure I only like a few of the unlisted shows and movies that you think are great as well.

When?

I like Netflix until I catch up on my tv shows. Then there will be no point in having it. It's cheap af but I'll probably cancel if they don't add more content soon.

If you don't like the content then you don't like the content. I can't argue what you should or shouldn't like. But they have a shite ton of TV shows. New and old

I suggest:
Narcos
Peaky Blinders
House of Cards
