    What are you watching on Netflix?

    There is another thread which started out asking about Netflix vs Amazon Prime and a few of us had a couple of title recommendations in that thread.
    It occurred to me that it might be interesting to start a whole new thread dedicated to what each of us are currently watching or have recently watched that we would recommend to others. My wife and I have gotten to the point that we watch way more Netflix than we do Directv. About the only thing I watch on Directv anymore is the local news and live sporting events. Otherwise I would drop it.
    Anyway, here is my list of what I am watching on Netflix:
    Folye's War
    Flashpoint (from a recommendation on the other thread)
    White Collar
    Life
    Leverage
    Emily Owens MD (My wife like this one. Sadly, it only has one season)
    Continuum
    Damages

    List of some others we have already watched:
    Battlestar Galactica (there are maybe 75-80 episodes, some are better than others, I actually quit watching this one, but the first season is pretty good)
    Burn Notice
    The Bletchley Circle (This is a very good 3 episode mini series murder mystery )
    Terriers (possibly my favorite, Sadly only one season as well)
    Firefly (this is a sci/fy western, Very good!) Stars the same guy who plays Castle on ABC
    The Tudors
    Hiroshima BBC History of WWII (This is very interesting account of the dropping the A-bomb on Hiroshima)

    All of the Walking Dead

    Just started Orange is the New Black

    The Trailer Park Boys movies, haven't watched the shows yet

    Other movies

    Started American Horror stories, might go back to it.

    My favorite was 24, but also liked Flash Point, Foyle's War and another cop series from Norway the name for which has escaped me for the moment. Some others are 4400, Burn Notice, Scandal, Continium, Firefly, and several series from BBC. I also catch some of the recent movies as they come out on Netflix. Due to my poor hearing I have given up watching them in the theater and love my earphones at home.

    - Hoop Dreams
    - The National Parks (Ken Burns)

    I see we have no Dr. Who fans around here. If anybody is interested they have both new and old episodes to include the classics with Tom Baker. I'm on a Dr. Who kick hence the picture.

    Netflix, Hulu (the free version), YouTube and sometimes Crackle are all I watch. Our TV is in the basement with no cable, sattelite, or antenna so we don't get any "regular" TV. We have a PS3 that we use to watch NetFlix & DVD/Blu Ray. I can do YouTube and Crackle on it too. Won't do the free Hulu, so I have to watch that on the computer. Occasionally, I'll hook the computer up to the TV, so I can watch Hulu on the big 55" screen. (Don't have any PS3 games at all. Didn't buy it for that.)

    In keeping with Larry's question I am going to stick with NetFlix alone. On top of the list of series below there are a number of movies I have queued up, but I won't get into them.

    Currently:
    30 Rock
    Alphas
    Andy Griffith Show
    Auction Kings
    Burn Notice
    Continuum
    Dual Survival
    Leverage


    Watched the Complete Run (Available So Far):
    Ax Men
    Battlestar Galactica/Caprica
    Dick Van Dyke Show
    Firefly/Serenity
    Glee (Watching Current on Hulu)
    Kolchak: The Night Stalker
    Last Man Standing
    Lost
    Malcolm in the Middle
    Mythbusters
    Once Upon a Time (Watching Current on Hulu)
    Pawn Stars
    Revolution (Watching Current on Hulu)
    Rules of Engagement
    Entire Star Trek franchise
    Entire Stargate franchise
    Scrubs
    Supernatural (Watching Current on Hulu)
    That 70's Show
    The Colony
    The IT Crowd (UK)
    Walking Dead

    Series I Intend to Try Out or Get back to Someday:
    Alias
    Breaking Bad (maybe)
    Chuck
    Dirty Jobs
    Dragnet

    Psych
    Rockford Files

    Series I Have Given Up On (For now):

    Watching TV these days can be a whole lot different than it used to be. It is now possible to watch all the episodes of a show in one sitting or to string them out however you want. We are still experimenting with finding the different ways. What we are doing now is picking out one of the several we are currently watching and watch maybe 2 episodes in a row. Then the next TV night watch something else. When we finish a series we look for something to replace it. We try to have 4 or 5 shows going at a time.
    How do you do it?
