    Although, I bet most of you have already watched them! :D:p

    Personally, Dexter is my all time favourite so far. Do you have any recommendations for me? I'm running out of things to watch!

    Damages, Heartland and Scream the TV series. That's what I have been watching on Netflix. I have also watched Fuller House on Netflix.
    My sister is watching Orange is the new black but I have still to see the show.
    I have not seen most of the shows on the link you have posted.

    Anyone watching 'Stranger Things'...?

    I've only watched the first 2 episodes so far, but am enjoying it. It's very good - definitely worth watching.

    Just finished watching American odyssey which was superb IMO.
    Anna Friel is excellent.

    Currently watching Spotless although just two episodes so far.

    It bombed in the States and was cancelled after one season.

    The Fundamentals of Caring I thought was really good. Craig Roberts was every bit as good as he was in Submarine. For those that like Nordic Noir "Rita" is a brilliant comedy drama.

    Have started watching the comedy drama The Good Witch and although I'm only 2 episodes in to the first season it seems an ok show.
    I have since given up on Bloodline after only 3 episodes in to season 2 as for some reason I don't think the second season is as good as the first season.
    I'm still enjoying watching the Canadian drama Heartland on Netflix and hope season 7 comes to Netflix soon.
    Also hope there will be a season 3 of Scream the TV series as I'm also enjoying watching that.

    I loved "Stranger Things". I think Winona wasn't very good though.

    Just watched the film Brooklyn after waiting for months to see it and I did really enjoy it.
    Well worth a watch if you have not already seen it.

    Just joined Netflix, and i have already had my monies worth. I have Sky T.V. but fed up as everything is just repeat after repeat.

    I am now watching Gracie & Frankie wow what a fabulous series, i am on episode 8 in one day. Its just brilliant. The acting is amazing. Highly recommend it.

    I see i have a lot of things i can look forward to watching after just reading a few pages on here.

    I like romance, detective, some drama, comedy, i hate sci fi, and horror and reality shows.

    I am also watching Fuller House. I actually watched the original yes i am that old lol. But so far i think the writing seems to be coming over a bit desperate, and the continutiy and mistakes are not so professional. Like a young boy in a pen with short haired labrador puppies, who on the next scene seem to grow and have longer hair, it seems a bit unprofessional.....maybe it gets better as it goes on some of it is a bit eek and over acted.

    Anyway already seen 5 films i havent ever seen on Sky.

    So for now, i am quite happy but if there is any recommendations I would be intetested in.

    Here's some recommendations for series you won't find on Sky:
    House of Cards
    Stranger Things
    Orphan Black
    Once Upon A Time
    Daredevil
    Jessica Jones

    Excellent recommendations to which I would add
    Spotless - an English/French collaboration about a crime scene cleaner in London.

    I have to say there's a lot of things I've started watching and got bored of quickly, including some pretty high profile series like House of Cards, Daredevil, and Once Upon a Time.

    Orphan Black remains my favourite thing to have watched on Netflix, but I really enjoyed Stranger Things. Also you can now watch the first two years of the superb Danish/Swedish detective series The Bridge.

    I've just started watching Spotless and it's pretty good so far. It's got a bit of a Breaking Bad vibe about it (good man forced to turn to crime) and it has the lovely Miranda Raison too. You just need to ignore that it features French brothers talking perfect English to each other.

    The Walking Dead is not on Netflix well on the UK Netflix. Is it on the US one? Really peed off if that is the case.

    I've watched everything else on that list :blush::D

    UK Netflix pay more for less content, since netflix blocked smart dns i have cancelled it i think it's unfair we pay a lot more for less content, although right now USA netflix is slightly more expensive than uk netflix but only by a couple of pence.

    I find Netflix UK has an ok choice of TV box sets and films and good for the money. I don't watch everything on Netflix but I do watch say two films a month and have just finished watching Damages on it. I just started season 2 of Good Witch other day and im on season 3 of Heartland. I'm on Season 2 of Scream the TV series and waiting for it to return mid October.
    Have also watched Fuller House and Taxi Brooklyn on Netflix.
    As I said in a post above I gave up on Bloodline after only 2 or 3 episodes in to season 2.
    My sister has been watching Orange Is The New Black and House Of Cards on Netflix

    I've only just got Netflix after a friend showed me the wide range of programmes and films available and I love it. I love the fact I can watch things when I want to and that whole box sets are available so I don't have to worry about missing an episode
    . It would be nice if like Amazon video they allowed you to 2atch offline but that's a minor point.

    I was especially delighted to find that the US sitcom Grounded For Life is on there in its entirety. .loved that show but it's impossible to buy past season 2 here. Am also looking forward to checking out some of the recommendations here..I've heard good things about Community and that it's similar to Modern Family which I love and Parks and Recreation which h I'm currently devouring thanks to Amazon video, so that will probably be next

    S1 was very good - especially the cinematography - but I got bored of S2. It would have worked better as shorter 10-12 episode seasons as it did feel very dragged out.
