I suspect we'll see a lot of TV season ads in the next two months. I think stuff usually goes up as the next season starts.
 
My unblock us is working again on my PS3!

Try deleting the app and reinstalling. Sometimes it can be finicky when adding a new DNS to an already set up netflix on consoles.
I've tried basically every fix they have on their site with no luck. I was really looking forward to being able to watch the new Breaking Bad on the UK site. :(

Unblock/PS3 have been having problems lately. Out of luck if you are trying to use unblock through your ps3.

Why couldn't Netflix have gotten all five series of FMA: Brotherhood? Now I have to watch the last set on Hulu in subtitles and with commercials....such a pain.

Edit: Really? Hulu puts their commercial break ahead of the natural commercial break in the program and breaks up the natural flow of action?

Also, their video quality is poor compared to Netflix.

Is Fringe really that good? I'm feeling reluctant to start it for some reason.
I went in for the most part blind and was obsessed ever since. I was reluctant too. It takes awhile to grow on you. The pilot might not convince you (except for Walter) but give it a chance and you'll end up loving all the characters by the end of season 1. But like others have said, it's season 2 and onwards where it gets a lot better.

Fringe pilot sucked. I watched it a while ago and lost interest.

Decided to keep going and it's amazing. Gotten kinda slow now (season 2) but it was worth getting into.

Middle of season 2, the episode called Jacksonville, is when things get turned up to 11 with the show.


Anyways, just watched In the Loop today. Very good, and my first real experience with Peter Capaldi. Man, I love his character Malcolm Tucker.

Anyone using Unotelly? I notice that SuperHD off the US Netflix server has been spotty (although it seems fine in other regions). It's been down all day for me.

So, it looks like new Breaking Bad episodes won't go up on Netflix immediately? Both Netflix UK or Netflix Ireland show Blood Money in the episode list, but it just says it's unavailable.

Plus, I'm afraid to venture into the main thread, for obvious haven't-seen-the-episode-yet reasons.

For some reason I thought it was a week after it aired. Maybe they will add it when they usually add new content.

So Netflix doesn't have The Good Wife? I was surprised to find a bunch of shows on Amazon Prime (The Good Wife, Justified) that don't exist on Netflix. I always thought everything on Amazon was on Netflix too.

Amazon moneyhat. Usually just timed exclusivity though. For example Fringe was on Amazon first then came to Netflix.

Speaking of Fringe. Is it a serialized show? For the handful of episodes I've seen it seemed like the X-files in that a lot of them were standalone.

Both sides are paying for exclusives. And it will only get worse in the future.

The missus loves her horror flicks so just over a month ago I bought her Posession on dvd from a sale only to find out 2 days later that its been added on netflix UK... fast forward to last week. I went out shopping and grabbed Sinister on blu-ray for her only to find out today that its been added to netflix. Looks like its time to stop buying physical copies of films. >.>

Same thing happened to me with Prometheus and MacGruber. Advised my lady to stop buying DVDs.
 
I watched some good movies the last week or so on Canadian Netflix.

127 Hours - A dude gets trapped while rock climbing. James Franco kills it in this one. Highly recommend.
White Irish Drinkers - this was a lot better than I expected. It's about Irish kids in the Bronx trying to get away from their alcoholic dad. Again, I would recommend.
Midnight Son - A movie about the transformation of a guy into a vampire, of sorts. If you can get by the initial dullness of the main character, it gets pretty interesting.
The Ledge - Charlie Hunnam stars as a guy who ends up on a ledge, having to decide to live or die. It's not bad. Not great but, worth a watch if you've got nothing better to do.
About Cherry - A girl goes into porn. It's what you would expect.

First season has a lot of what appear to be stand alone eps but will tie things together later on. You could skip around in theory but it really serves best to watch it as if it was serialized. It gets heavily serialized in the later seasons.
 
Yeah I was surprised to see it on yesterday, I always thought it was paid. I need to do some more exploration on Amazon Prime, it looks like they've improved their library significantly.

I specifically remember searching for it right before the latest season started and it definitely wasn't on there for free before. Glad to see it is though.

Yup. Did some digging and here are some other shows that are on Amazon Prime that aren't on Netflix from what I can tell:

Falling Skies
Suits
Grimm
Covert Affairs
Workaholics
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
The Shield (!!! Holy shit, I may need to rewatch one of my favorite shows ever)

Between Netflix and Amazon Prime I am never going to run out of shit to watch. It's almost overwhelming.

That's a solid list. If Amazon continues with that (and cleans up searching) then I'll be happy to drop cable entirely and go with a Hulu, Netflix, Amazon combo.
 
Netflix has become a little hit and miss lately with what will and won't stream of what it claims is available to watch.

Despite that, the times it does load up, I've enjoyed watching Saturday Night Live's run from the start. We don't get it in the UK, so it's been fun to watch.
