Netflix |OT| Where Binge Watching is Encouraged

That good, huh? Lol.

Pretty much....there is always something to keep you watching in the series. If the main storyline takes a dive (as it does sometimes), there are other characters there who pick up the slack and keep you interested with their side stories...or their part of the main story....and vice versa.

Been looking for an excuse to watch The Shield, and that's goddamn good news.
 
Okay, so getting this weird thing JUST with BBC shows.... there's an odd, very noticeable ringing sound that drives me slowly insane. Tried it with Mock the Week, Mitchell & Webb and Blackadder, and it's unbearable. Just loaded up a Louis CK show and it's fine. Anyone else have this?

Whats the status quo regarding Jericho?

In terms of coming back? Buried alongside the firefly dreams.

In terms of watching it or not? Watch it. This type of show was made for Netflix. There is a bit of filled episodes that go nowhere so you could get through them in a hurry. S2 is rushed and isn't as good. But they do finished up the series(but leave it open for another one).

bad gameplay lol
King of the Hill is expiring on the 1st? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please get renewed, KOTH. You're my go-to Netflix show when I just want something enjoyable on as background noise. ;_;

Better than Revolution, although it does reach similar points of idiocy. First season was good enough to get you hooked. You will watch the 2nd because you are hoping it will be at least as good as the first (it won't).

I feel your pain, mine is Futurama. If that were to leave Netflix I may just drop the entire service.

So Family Guy S10 is up, eh? I will have to make sure to catch up on that.

Thanks for the heads up. Never knew there was a (mini) doc on Rango. One of my favorite CG films.

Yeah I been watching a lot of docs the last couple days and it was on the related to The Sci -Fi Boys

American Scary expires 9-30

Nothing to fear here. More silly than scary, this documentary pays homage to the flamboyant local hosts who introduced horror and science-fiction movies to the masses and helped them gain cult status on the airwaves. Between vintage television clips and reflective interviews with horror hosts and aficionados, you'll hear from the likes of Svengoolie (Ernie Anderson), Joan E. Cleaver (Jeanne Dietrick), Sir Cecil Creepe (Russ McCown) and many more

Indyfans expires 9-30

Amid the release of the fourth Indiana Jones movie, filmmaker Brandon Kleyla chronicles the fanaticism of the whip-carrying admirers and interviews various filmmakers, archaeologists and writers about the Indy franchise. Viewers learn why archaeologist Indiana Jones and his many adventures have spawned die-hard, convention-going fans for more than two decades.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I noticed last night on my Roku that Louie now shows 40 episodes as being available, even though there are still only 27 (S1-2) actually up for streaming. I wonder if S3 (13 episodes) might get added soon, or if that's just a totally unrelated glitch.

Heads up for y'all I guess, some stuff on my list that I just noticed is expiring 10/1:

Big Fish
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Saved!
Wet Hot American Summer (this had been available for yeeeaaars — bummer)
Is S4 about to come back to the airwaves?
No, not until May; that's why the timing seems kind of odd to me.

In Plain Sight
Afro Samurai
Four Brothers
Ichi
Castaway to the Moon
Pet Sematary 2
Don't Look Now.

Edit- All of these are Oct 1st.

wtf why is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas expiring that just got here on like September 1st. wtf is a 1 month contract.

Suggestion on the Google docs thing. If we're going to leave past expiration up. Is it possible to put them under 1 column so we dont have to scroll right to see the latest day ? or something

Cleaned it up a bit. We will delete the columns as soon as their expiration dates past.

Upside Down is a pretty good sci-fi/fantasy movie with an interesting premise about people who live on two sort of mixed up worlds that intertwine. It has sort of a Dark City vibe to it (at least that's what I got from it). It has really good fx and a good cast. Worth a look.

Apologies for not contributing to the document lately, accessing Google Drive is a pain since I have multiple accounts.

No worries dude. :)

I just watched the trailer and the premise looks interesting. I like the cast. Its weird that I haven't heard about this until now. Anyways, I'm going to give it a watch tomorrow night.

Finally signed up for a full unblock us account just for ease of use on ipad instead of having to use plug ins on web browser. Is there a list of TV shows and movies that are not on UK/USA that I should be watching. Plan to start the Shield tonight.

I think I got through three seasons of House and just kinda stopped watching.

Did it have a good ending at least or did it overstay it's welcome like Scrubs?

All those Documentaries. So good.

There is some good in there but a lot of it looks like the random reality tv crap you'll see flipping through channels on a drunken Saturday night at home.

It wasn't as bad as Scrubs, nowhere near that sort of bad. It was probably a season too long, but the rest is fairly enjoyable. It had a decent enough ending.

If you have patience, you could search my name and find the posts where I list stuff from other regions. But I have posted a lot so you would have to go through a ton of posts lol. But:

Mexico: Disney (animated) movies, Back to the Future 2, Twin Peaks.
Sweden: Batman Begins/Rises, Ghostbusters, Taken, Project X, Matrix 2/3, Tron Legacy, Collateral, Wrath of the Titans, Rush Hour 3, Red Eye, Space Jam, Pearl Harbor, Harry Potter (the last ones), The Goonies, Falling Skies, Fast Five, Tropic Thunder.
UK: Latest Breaking Bad episodes (the ones airing right now), Rome, Justified.
Canada: Community, Are you afraid of the dark?, Battle LA, X-men First Class, The Sitter.
Netherlands: Chuck, Spartacus, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers/Return of the King, Shallow Hal, Dogma, Valkyrie, Hide and Seek.

This site is helpful too. Search for the movie or show (make sure to switch to the show tab first) and if its up on Netflix somewhere, it will tell you what region.

All those Documentaries. So good.

I know, its like Christmas today.

I think after season three is when it hit its stride. Really great episodes. Season 4 and 5 are god tier. Seriously, watch those two seasons if nothing else. Season 6 or 7 is where it does kinda over stays its welcome, but season 8 picks it up back.

I think I just got procedural series fatigue with it....which happens.
