Liked watching OITNB, and enjoyed "Xmas with the fitzgeralds" and a few other flicks, but can't find anything to watch now. Should I cancel my subscription and revert to renting stuff from iplayer? Or pay for Sky or something? Nothing on freeview, nothing on netflix, fed up with fruitless nightly a search. AIBU? And yes, I do usually read, but am 10 weeks pregnant and have the concentration span of a flea.

Is Community on the UK site? Very funny.

steff13 · 04/08/2014 02:59

We love Community as well.

Spooks, series 1-8 is on there.
The Killing, Danish version is better than US imho.

Luther.
Lillehammer.
The Thick Of It.

Loads of people rate House of Cards and The Good Wife but ive not got around to them yet.

I must be the only person to find Breaking Bad dull.

Love Film is better for movies, Netflix for series.

Ru Paul's Drag Race is my (not so) guilty viewing... I love Netflix - it has tonnes of Kids programmes too.

House of Cards and Fringe. Those two along with OITNB have made netflix worthwhile for me.

If you install mozilla firefox and then search for a silverlight plugin you will get us netflix

Also netflix do not mind if you do this. A friend contacted them about it (very moral people) and they said that as long as you are paying for a netflix subscription they wont pay attention. Its a light grey area.

I love Netflix!
Yes to everything mentioned
Sons of Anarchy
The Killing (US version)
We watch the US netflix.

This was me at the weekend. Couldn't find anything worth watching. Loved House of Cards (1 & 2) and Breaking Bad (god it was long winded though). some of the films I clicked on wouldn't work and returned an error for some reason. I don't know why but everything seems to be about be a lawyer in LA or being a Vampire. Am I too old for Netflix?

I'm currently watching Parenthood (the tv series).
There are four seasons on US Netflix. I'm really enjoying it

SunnyRandall · 04/08/2014 13:49

Life on Mars
Ashes to Ashes

Bothofyou · 04/08/2014 13:55

Thanks so much for all the tips, particularly about switching to the US version. Feel quite excited about tonight's viewing!

RuPaul's Drag Race. Absolutely addictive. I was unreasonably thrilled to discover it on there last year after having to stream it previously!

White Collar (4 seasons)
The Magic of Belle Isle

There is always Random - Find something to watch on NetFlix UK which just picks you something.
