I am trying to decide which tv show to start ordering on Netflix from season 1. Any suggestion?

nobody?

Heroes is my favorite show right now, so I'd definitely recommend catching up on that.

thanks I'll go with Heroes for now since Netflix only have 1 season, cuz in a couple weeks 2 other of my fav shows will be available on netflix if they don't have it right away I'll start with six feet under.

The Wire is very good, if you’ve not seen it…

Big Love. Polygyny is very entertaining.

i'm waiting for Big Love. It'll be available on dec 11

Have you watched any of it yet? I really enjoy it. It's one of my favorites. I can't wait for Dec. 11!

I voted for 6 Feet Under... I loved that show ... I have only watched the first 3 seasons though.. I have been meaning to watch the rest of it though...

another good show is "Dead like Me"..... it only has 2 seasons but it is still worth the watch...

Someone recommended "Weeds" to me so I have Season 1 on the way right now. Hopefully it will be good. I love Heroes and The 4400...so both would get my vote!

Prison break! Besides the fact that is a really good show, those brothers are HOT!

6 feet under

Arrested Development if you haven't seen it yet.

heroes I can't wait to see what's going to happen in every single episode I love it

As flashy as some of the tv shows can be, the more serious ones seem so damn cheesy. Jinky likes CSI: Miami and we were watching it last night. Everyone has a near perfect body and David Caruso's face is always shown through a soft filtered lens. The dialogue, the believability, the plot, everything ...I cannot suspend my disbelief because its so far from reality. I like make believe, but when they package it as 'serious' and 'realistic' in an attempt to hide the cheesiness, it only makes it more obvious.

i hate those CSI type shows...

i really like Crossing Jordan though but that show didn't really take itself too seriously.. I just wish they would put it on DVD already...

6 feet under was an amazing TV show. Especially the first 2 series.

I agree. The first few seasons were really good. That guy who's on The Office played a really strange intern who rented a room in the house. I haven't really kept up with it though in the last couple of years.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is another HBO great.


Edit: Rain Wilson...he's really good at strange.

Thanks all for your replies. i'll be adding to my queue



Yes I watched season 1 and I loved it. Season 2 will be available on netlfix Dec 11, can't wait. And I'll also be getting Lost 3rd season that I missed.


I ordered both seasons of Weeds while hubby was on a trip and I couldn't leave the bed. It's so funny. I highly recommend. I can't wait for the next season to be on dvd, cuz I really can't afford Showtime.

Well I got the Weeds season 1 and 2 dvds and watched them in two weekends They are so good...I was hooked from the start. I hope they come out with the next season asap...I can't afford Showtime either

I'm totally hooked to Heroes. Thanks for the tips guys

Well an update, since I'm running out of options again. I've tried pretty much all the options above except:


I think I'll give it a try to The 4400 to see if I like it.


tried but wasn't appealing to me.

I'm thinking about trying ''Dexter'' with the same guy from Six Feet Under, has anyone seen it?

i just ordered it from nextflix!! season 1, disc 1 has a long wait, so im starting with season 1, disc 2...i hope i dont ruin it for myself...it should be coming today!

Arrested Development was one of the funniest shows ever on TV. It even had a planned end, how novel an idea.

I forget who said it, but there is a quote that every good show is on for one season too long. That will never be said about Arrested Development. There was no lame final show like Seinfeld. There weren't 3 or 4 unwatchable seasons like Friends. It ended in 3 years and did so with grace and dignity.

I was on the wait list for weeks and finally got disk 1. I had to make an effort to watch and still, not appealing.

i just decided to skip disc 1...i have seen an episode or two from later seasons, and im pretty sure ill enjoy the earlier episodes as well...but, to each her own!!

The first 3 episodes of season 1 of the wire are kind of slow and it's a bit difficult to get your head around all the different characters - but the show starts to really kick off once Omar and the stick-up crew appear. And then it's more addictive than crack .

i guess i'll give it a try for the second disk at least

"Weeds" We love Weeds.

I have been meaning to get into Weeds - probably fire it up on the netflix queue pretty soon.

Weeds is great. Seasons one and two in particular. Season three started off well enough, but they're starting to run out of ways for her to get in and out of trouble. It probably should have ended at 3, even Mary-Louise Parker said so. I think she's reluctant to sign on for season 4.

Firefly and Carnivale!

Love Weeds. I'm waiting for season 3 on dvd, I hope it'll be around October, cuz we don't have Showtime

Andre & I love this show. Season 2 was THE BOMB!




Season 3 was good too. But, yah, they had a few too many mishaps. I was getting dizzy watching some of the episodes.

Still can't wait for 4 though!

Angels in America is a good mini-series to catch on Netflix.

Coupling is a good show.. it is from the UK.. it is like a dirty version of Friends.... it is really funny..

I used to watch it. The UK version. The US version is not as good.

Six Feet Under, Big Love, Dexter, Dead Like Me (All GREAT shows!)

you have the same taste i do. love them all, not sure yet about Dexter, I just ordered it and watched like 15 minutes and so far I enjoyed.

Dexter!

I am trying to think of a good 1/2 hour comedy we can watch..... hubby likes to watch them before bed...

right now we watch Lucy or Friends but I want to watch something different but most sitcoms are not very good....

I really liked Dexter, but it's only 1 season, dunno what am I gonna watch next.

bleh, I'll add Felicity, I know it's lame but it's one of my all time favorite tv shows

I liked Felicity too.. I only saw the first couple of seasons though.....

we are trying to cut back on our expenses so we have reduced our Netflix to one at a time... it kind of sucks but at least we still have access to the Instant viewing feature...

well instant viewing for me sucks cuz of our internet speed. and watching sitting in front of the comp is not the same as watching in our big tv lying in bed.

yeah, I know what you mean.... I do have a nice big computer monitor though and we can watch stuff while sitting on the couch....

we have a portable DVD player we use in our bedroom.....

hubby and I watched the first 2 episodes of Dexter last night... the show is quite creepy but really good

nessa that show I told you to get the other night is called little britain

i'm gonnma check it out.

Heroes!

I don't like Little Britain very much. It's a bit silly.

There are some bits which are funny though... I just don't see what all the hype is about.

Per your suggestion M - we started watching this. A few times we did actually laugh out loud. Amusing! Thanks for the suggestion!
