Supernatural. The show is getting ready for it's 10th season so there are lots of episodes to watch on Netflix. Good story line and lots of eye candy

I binge watched How I Met Your Mother - great show and like a previous poster, I also developed a HUGE crush on Neil Patrick Harris. I also watched the first 4 seasons of the Good Wife and I am waiting for Season 5 to be available somewhere I subscribe. I started One Tree Hill with my teenage dd. I had watched this the first time around but she started it sometime in January and I have watched off and on with her. I need to save this thread somehow because there are some great suggestions on here!

The good thing is it just keeps getting better! DH and I just started Game of Thrones last week...holy crap it's good. Bloody, but good. I don't generally like that genre, but I'm really enjoying it.

My husband and DS15 are currently obsessed with Psych. While it's a detective show, it's lighthearted and well-written, especially if you enjoy sarcasm. Both of them laugh out loud while watching.

I have binged on House, M.D. (became one of my all-time favorite shows-LOVE IT!), and Ghost Whisperer on Netflix. Both very well worth it! My current obsession is Sherlock Holmes, the BBC series. Oh. Em. Gee. It's the best show I've ever seen. Like, EVER. It's a little different, because the episodes are an hour and a half of content, so like a movie, rather than an hour-slot TV show reduced to 42min without commercials. And there are only 3 episodes per season, for 3 seasons total. So you need more time to watch an episode, and then there are definitely not enough to fulfill the need for more. But seriously-it's worth the inevitable agony of being left longing. Plus, they have signed on for Seasons 4 and 5, so when you've exhausted Netflix you at least have the satisfaction of knowing there is more coming down the pike! I have one more Sherlock, then after the withdrawal settles down I'm leaning towards Dexter. I wish I could watch the Walking Dead, but I have not been able to get past the extraordinary amount of blood and dismemberment. My best friend watches Hannibal. She reports that it is seriously disturbing. She loves it, mind you, and continues to watch, but you should be prepared to be disturbed.

Also, in a slightly different vein, I've been watching a few of the new summer series. I'm addicted to The Last Ship on TNT Sunday nights at 9, it's great. All the episodes should be available On Demand, for binge-watching purposes . Also currently watching Crossbones on NBC Friday nights at 10, the summer series about Blackbeard with John Malkovich... he is incredible. It can be a little hard to follow every nuance of the story if you're at all distracted, but just watching the two leads act is amazing. Very different story than you would expect-not at all "pirates on the high seas" like you might imagine. I also watched The NightShift on NBC-another short summer series that already ended, but was pretty packed with drama in it's short run... should also be On Demand. And I am pretty certain it will be back for another season (when, who knows... hope it's not next summer!)

I am having problems with my Amazon Prime stream, so am having to do Netflix only right now. I know, talk about first world problems! LOL Anyway, I'm actually going WAY, WAY back for my newest binge: The West Wing. I never did see it! Enjoying the heck out of it though. Totally loved OITNB and am still working through House of Cards too. Oh, the life of a couch potato is so good right now! LOL

It was soooo good, one of my very favorite shows. Thinking about starting OITNB, and the Sherlock series sounds great, I'll put it on my list. TFS!

We like the dramedy Royal Pains. We binge-watched it already and are recording the new 6th season right now while watching Covert Affairs. We will watch this season after we catch up with CA. Both are great shows as well as Castle and Friday Night Lights!

I've got nothing but wanted to remind Petenthusiast that when you were mentioning and drooling all over that Danish actor last time that I suggested to you that you MUST watch the movie "A Royal Affair". It is amazing! Looks like you started to watch it and hubby dragged you away. Bad hubby. Watch it again by yourself one night. It's an incredible film, beautifully shot and based on a true story. You know I'm just kidding about the drooling part, right? Debbie in MD. I did watch another Danish film last night (I'm not Danish, I'm half German/half American) but once I discovered "A Royal Affair" it led me to check out other Danish films. It was about a Danish ship getting hijacked by Somalian pirates. Another incredible film. Much more gut w retching in some ways than "Captain Phillips" because they didn't have a huge Danish Navy to come to the rescue. It was called, "A Hijacking" and it was made in 2012. So not a series to recommend, but a great movie. Two great movies.

So not a series to recommend, but a great movie. Two great movies. YES! I will! The 1st DVD of the Orphan Black 2nd season arrived today, but finishing a "Royal Affair" will be next. I guess I didn't get glued to it since I didn't get to the part where Mads shows up...It's been a few wks but...she just married that NASTY "King" & had his baby & that's where we stopped. You know I came across that Danish ship movie but skipped (judged a book by its cover & Mads, Ulrich, or Nikolaj weren't in the cast, lol)...I will have to add that in...I have never been disappointed by a Danish film yet. They are SO good..you completely forget you are reading subtitles VERY quickly.

You are so right! Danish films are SO good-last night I was so anxious to see what was going to happen to that hijacked ship that I completely forgot I was reading subtitles although at certain times they spoke English here and there. Yes, I HIGHLY recommend both films, especially "A Royal Affair"-I just love historical dramas when they are done well with the costuming, and this one is so beautiful visually. My DS (who is a film student at college) got me to watch it. He's the one who turned me on to Danish films.

If you can check out In The Flesh, a very different kind of zombie show. I love it.

ORPHAN BLACK is about as good as a show can possibly get! Commit to just 2 episodes (1st season free on Amazon Prime, 2nd season pay or get free if you get Netflix DVDs), I there is no way you won't keep going. O.M.G. 1st dvd of season 2 arrives tomorrow, canNOT wait. Unbelievably great show. Is this something I can stream on Netflix? I couldn't find it...I will check Amazon Prime Thanks!

I say this on every one of these threads : MI5 is just THE BEST show! Season 1 is short, but once you're to the end you are fully immersed and then have 9 more seasons to enjoy! British shows are fantastic because they don't have to follow any rules like the regular Hollywood shows.
We have also enjoyed Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, Downtown Abby, and House of Cards. I've heard that Call the Midwife is very good.

I loved Orphan Black, really looking forward to the next series (given the twist at the end of the last one). Also agree that the lead actor plays all of those roles so well, I too think Alison is one of the best of the sister characters.
Supernatural - just - drool. Which reminds me, I bought series 9 dvd for DS at Christmas and haven't got around to watching it yet.
House is another favourite - have all the series on dvd and just started from season 1 again.
Crimson Field was very good and I also enjoyed Bomb Girls (both UK).
Another detective mini series I enjoyed was Hinterland (based in Wales) a bit dark but well done. Oh and there was another good one recently based in north of England - Happy Valley - really hoping for a second series of that one.
