So my FI and are are big movie/tv watchers, and have been looking for new things to watch on Netflix.  We just started getting into Walking Dead, Mad Men, have seen every episode of the office and Parks and Rec.  But I feel like I have a hard time finding good movies we haven't seen.  Does anybody have any recommendations of movies or tv shows we could try?

Thanks!

    We just finished all 8 seasons of Weeds on Netflix streaming.
    Also Breaking Bad is awesome! I'm pretty sure the first four seasons are on there.

    Movie recs:

    Friends with Kids
    Safety not Guaranteed
    Jeff Who Lives at Home
    Young Adult (I liked it; H thought it was so-so)

    I'll add more if I think of them.

    Do you like documentaries at al?

    Definitely watch Walking Dead.

    The first season of American Horror Story, Breaking Bad, Once Upon a Time, Bones

    If you watch Sci Fi... Battlestar Gallactica!

    Summer, I haven't seen either of those shows, but I do want to try out Weeds, is it pretty funny?
    TXKristin:  FI and I are nuts about The League but haven't heard of anybody else who watches it! 
    Summer: I love documentaries but he doesn't, but I can always watch it while he's at work, do you have suggestions?

    Muppet: Yeah we just started watching it and had to take a break because we watched almost the first two seasons in less than a week.  I saw the first season of AHS but haven't seen the rest.  I haven't seen Battlestar but they have a great Portlandia episode about how addicting it is, it's made me a little curious.
    Thanks for all of the suggestions!!!

    We really enjoyed Weeds. It moves quickly from storyline to storyline and there were some very funny parts to it.

    As for documentaries, I'm not sure what your interests are, but I liked Waiting for Superman (which is about education), Craigslist Joe, Man on Wire, and The American Teacher.

    The Muppet Movie is also available. That's sort of a PSA for all.

    Documentaries:
    The Imposter
    Queen of Versailles

    Shows:
    Downton Abbey (although Netflix only has the first season, Amazon Prime has the rights to the other seasons)
    Breaking Bad

    Those are all I can think of that are on Netflix off the top of my head.

    I just watched this on Netflix, so good!

    I'll also vouch for Weeds and American Horror Story.

    I've been watching Arrested Development, it's a funny show!  Also working my way through Pretty Little Liars.

    Documentaries are pretty much my go-to for Netflix.  I haven't really browsed their movie selection in a long time lol.  I think the last movie I watched on Netflix was Breakfast at Tiffanys.

    Just finished Firefly on Netflix.  There's also Bones and Once Upon a Time.  Recently I've been watching movies I wasn't allowed to watch when they came out because I was too young like An Officer and a Gentleman and Meet Joe Black.

    My new favorite thing to do is pick an actor and search to see what movies they are in and watch ones I've never heard of before.  It's hit or miss but sometimes you get a semi-entertaining one.

    I'm still in HS when it comes to watching Netflix, so I've been going through all of the ABC Family shows.

    Make it or Break it
    Secret Life of the American Teenager

    Once I'm done with Secret Life, I have plans to go through Greek, and The Lying Game.  I also watch Pretty Little Liars.

    Definitely breaking bad!  and sons of anarchy!  FI didn't want to get into sons at first, he thought the plot sounded dumb, but we are almost on season 3 and both of us are hooked!

    FI and I got super hooked on the show Louis. It only has the first two seasons, and we're waiting not-so-patiently for season three.

    I also agree with previous recommendations of Downton Abbey. And if period pieces are your thing, like they are mine, check out Bleak House, Wives and Daughters, and North and South.

    Another vote for Sons of Anarchy.  Beware of the violence factor though.

    I am jealous. His style was my FI inspiration for his tux.  When he picked it out he said "do I look Like Matt Bomer?" lol
