Hey speaking of Entertainment... has any one here fell into the Netflix black hole yet?

They have so many great programs I have really been keen on seeing some of these long television series.

A function that is really bad is that it will auto play the next episode and have the series just keep on rolling. Sometimes I will sit down with my Miriam and say, lets just watch 1! Next thing you know... 5 series later...you are both asleep and have effectively "binged," on Netflix.

:confused:

Anyone else find themselves in this predicament? Great entertainment but can definitely drain your time before ya know it!
 

My husband and I are serious Netflix addicts! When we watched Breaking Bad we saw all 62 episodes in about 2 weeks.
 

We love documentaries as well. Somehow my geek husband managed to switch our Netflix to the US version, so we're also getting PBS.
 
Yeah the documentaries are great, you can learn so much!

My favorite series I bumped into was about a man who was released from prison by the FBI to help them solve mystery cases. Check out White collar for fun, witty, and exciting series that has some amazing acting!

Right now I am into Flashpoint, a S.W.A.T. type Canadian show that has tons of drama. oh boy I love Netflix, as

Yes - I'm a netflixaholic too. If I find a TV show I like, I'll watch all episodes in a very short time until it's over. Then I have to recover. That goes for the movies too.
 
I watch Netflix daily and stream it to my TV. I Pad & I Phone. I only watch Regular TV for news. I also watch Amazon Prime. I am hooked on all the good docos.
 
I'm interested in signing up with Netflix to catch up on the TWD episodes; I'm a little wary though, I've not been able to browse Netflix' offerings, they seem to want you to set up an account first. Not good.

Thanks for this info, WindnSea, I will check into this.....and welcome to the forum.
 
I'm a long-time subscriber of Netflix, probably more than 10 years. I do it the old-fashioned way, getting the DVD's in the mail instead of streaming. I don't have a good way to stream directly to my TV, and I don't like watching movies on the computer.

What I like about Netflix is their enormous inventory. You can get virtually any movie ever made, and most of the TV shows as well, even old ones. I'ts a great way to catch up on a series, etc. I also get On Demand TV, which is nice because you don't have to wait for anything to arrive in the mail, it's all right there. But they don't have the inventory that Netflix has. So I use the cheapest level of Netflix, one DVD out at a time, I don't get the next one until I return that one, which fills in the On Demand gaps very nicely.
 
I also get the DVD's, Sunny, I get two every week and watch them on the weekends. Sometimes I pick duds, sometimes really good ones, watched a good one this past weekend called 'Matchstick Men'.

Another thing, I have found are some of the older live music concerts and different comedian acts, there is not a wide variety of these though.

I have found the turn around time to be great, only 3 days most of the time...I think they have a warehouse in Dallas.....Anyway, I'm with you.....love Netflix.
 
My husband has been getting Netflix DVDs for years now, he gets 3 at a time, doesn't like to watch anything on the computer either.

Happy to hear. I've been a huge fan since the beginning and believe each season gets better and better.
Do you have a favorite character yet? Least favorite?
Keep watching and enjoy.
