One of the great things about Netflix (we’re subscribers, love it) is its ability to have it recommend shows and movies based on what you rated. We primarily watch a ton of TV shows from Netflix as we just find them more entertaining many times (and it’s easier to watch in shorter chunks of time). I was talking to Owen at Mug Revolution the other day about Netflix stuff, and made me wonder what Netflix is introducing to everybody else. So here are a few that Netflix said we’d like and we certainly have.
- Spooks: Holy crap this is a brilliantly written show that needs to hurry up and get its tenth season up and going. If you want great spy action, suspense, etc.., this is a great show for you. Just don’t get too attached to any character in the show, as nobody’s safe from getting killed/removed is some awful way. Netflix doesn’t have all the seasons — you’ll have to find other ways to get those.
- Hustle: We just started watching this one and have enjoyed it so far.
- Foyle’s War is one of the greatest detective dramas I’ve ever seen. Great show, and glad they put out a seventh series (just finished watching it last night).
- Chuck: Never watched this show on TV as it came on during a time where we were watching something else (usually House), but I’m really enjoying this show.
- Hamish Macbeth was an entertaining show, though the last season got a bit weird.
- Pushing Daises: That was obviously suggested to us because we five-starred Wonderfalls and we pretty much like most of what Bryan Fuller has done.
- The Lost Room could have easily been a much longer mini-series, but it was still quite interesting.
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. So what gems did you not know about had it not been for Netflix?
