I'd be lost without my Netflicks...

LoriMI — Sun, 05 Jul 2015 19:29:50 GMT

I love watching series epsisodes one after the other. I am hooked on Orange is the New Black. Now with many series I am waiting for the next season to be released.

Who else is hooked?

Now's the time to head to the barn where 17 horses will convince me that they are hungry. They act like and look like hungry, hungry hippos. My old girl Raven (22 year old solid black quarter horse) is looking fantastic! Might have to get her out to show and have her come out of retirement.

Me too! We have 3 more episodes left of Season 3.

We absolutely loved House of Cards and cannot wait for Season 4.

A sort of strange/funny/dark comedy was Lilyhammer with Steven VanZandt. A lot of subtitles but a good show.

What else do you, or anyone else reading like to watch on Netflix?

I definitely enjoy it. Even if I don't watch stuff on Netflix all the time, I think it's worth the $7.99 a month.

Recently I watched the entirety of Breaking Bad and I watched season one of 'Grace and Frankie'. Loved that one and look forward to another season.

I'm about 5 or 6 episodes into the current season of 'Orange is the New Black'.

Every now and then I watch a movie, if they have it in streaming and it's something I happened to come across somewhere because of who is in it or reviews. Mostly I watch shows I suppose.

Last year I watched all 100 episodes of '******/Tuck' and loved that. I really missed it when I finished.

ETA - Really? That's a bad word? Sorry about that. It refers to a show about two plastic surgeons and was a very quirky show with lots of great guest stars. Starts with an 'N' and ends with a 'P.

I watched a good one called advanced age and another about Bill Cunningham. They are both about fashion

I am really looking forward to the Iris Apfel documentary

I forgot about 'House of Cards'! I might be a season behind on that one. Need to do that after I finish this season of OitNB.

'Lilyhammer' was also recommended to me some time back so I have it in my list.

I love House of Cards. Kevin Spacey is the best!

I can't wait until Bloodline comes back. The Daredevil series is pretty good but it hasn't drawn me in enough to binge watch like I did Bloodline. Probably because I'm pretty familiar with the Daredevil character and storyline.

I just got it this year and am enjoying it. I love British shows so I have quite a few to get through. Its well worth the money!

I have a helpful hint for those who just use the streaming Netflix (as opposed to getting the DVDs in the mail) -

I'm one who finds it tedious to try and type out a search on one of those on-screen keyboards or the one with the letters and you have to pick one letter at a time, scrolling across and down and down and - whatever.

So what I do when something comes to mind that I might be interested in is to go online on one of my computers (full screen and keyboard! much better) and search the show/movie on the Netflix website and, since I'm logged in at that point, I can just add it to my 'list' right there and when I hit the TV, things are always waiting for me.

I keep thinking about subscribing to Netflix but haven't done so yet.

I'm a recent newbie to Netflix and I am really enjoying it.

I recently watched the entire series of Mad Men. I got turned on to the show a few weeks back when they had the marathon before the series finale. I had allot of questions so checked it out. What a great show! Never seen so much smoking and drinking! Ha!

I have OITNB on my list to watch, along with Longmire (friend told me about), Sons of Anarchy, and Breaking Bad. Good thing it's to hot to be outside and I can watch when I can.

As for movies, I thought "You're not you" was really good! Cried my eyes out! Also, loved "Nebraska."

Another friend sad "The best of Me" is also really good but haven't watched it yet. It's another tearjerker I think.

I love that's it's always there, waiting for me, and that if I get interrupted it picks up right where I left off without any effort.

funny thing about netflix.

i have had subscription for some time now, because dd was living here and she is an absolute movie nut. i would watch something every now and then, but not really much. then she moved out and i forgot about it.

now my best friend is falling in LOVE with netflix and can't stop raving about it. she watched all the frankie and gracie (or what ever it is called ) and now is watching house of cards and is so into it!

so since she cannot stop talking about it, i guess i will pop in some day and start to watch a little netflix. which actually means i will become absolutely and totally addicted to it.

LOL

Oh, my goodness! We are watching Mad Men right now. We're on Season 5 and are very, very sad that it is going to be over in two more seasons! It is really good!

Not everyone is going to have the same tastes, of course, but others that I can recommend are:

1) Sons of Anarchy (very violent and profane...there is nudity... but excellent acting and story lines) It is my favorite series of all time.

2) Breaking Bad (some violence) but good for the most part.

3) Call the Midwife from PBS...so good! I cry during every episode because the story lines are so very moving

4) Orange is the New Black (different, quirky, funny, but touching parts, too) Just an FYI: There are several lesbian scenes.

5) Longmire...very good acting and story lines. I am hoping that Netflix will produce season 4.

6) Bloodline...Great! It took 5-6 episodes for me to get into it, but then BOOM! I was sucked in and could not quit watching it. Can't wait for Season 2. The acting is superb. And the scenery...wow...

Also...as another poster suggested. Go online to add things that you would like to watch to the list called "My List." Then when you watch Netflix on your TV, you don't have to try to type in titles with a TV remote.

Another poster asked how we are watching Netflix. We watch it on our TV(s). We have a DISH package that has Netflix as an app on the remote but it is also on channel 370. We just go to channel 370, the screen blacks out for a second, and then the red Netflix logo comes up. From there, we just use the DISH remote up and down arrows to select what we want to watch. I think it is a bargain for $7.99.

You go to Netflix online to open an account.

Loved Lilyhamer. Also Pinky Blinders. At this time DH and I are watching the Great War Diary,its a documentary series about WW1 with fantastic ancient film. Netflix is great. We have a "smart TV" and we just push a button and there it is!
