Topic: Thread of totally awesome Netflix Instant recommendations

Looks like that added even more Twilight Zone seasons.

It has dropped off big time but I can't bring my self to stop watching I'm going down with the ship.

Sigh...me too
This season has been watchable, and after going back through Season 5, I think I've been overly harsh on that one as well. It's actually well worth watching. Season 6 is still a mess, though, and I'll stand by that.

I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is now available.

Awesome.

I've been watching Twin Peaks, great show....for the first season. I find myself watching now just for Agent Cooper.

Just finished season two of Sons of Anarchy last night so freaking good but what a cliff hanger can't wait for season 3 to get on Netflix.

omg season 3 is amaaaaaaazing, wraps up all kinds of crap with a nice, neat bow. you can buy it on iTunes if you're interested; i know Netflix takes foreeeeever to get stuff i actually want to watch lol :3

Who here watches Shin-Chan?! xD
I'm watching through them, on episode...12-ish I think, lol.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but The Other Guys is on instant. Not a perfect comedy by any means, but it's definitely worth watching if you're not totally opposed to Will Ferrel.

The second season was also quite good until the moment when the mystery is revealed. After that episode, Lynch ceased his direct involvement and let the other writers and directors fill in, and the results are abysmal. He did then return and write / direct a bizarrely wonderful series finale, if you can make it that far.

^ Oh yeah, I forgot the Laura stuff carries over into a good deal of season two, that stuff is all fantastic. I didn't know he left, that explains why it's so bad...There are some good ideas (namely the chess game between Cooper and his ex-partner) but it's boggled down by stupidity...

That's good to hear about the finale! I still plan to finish it, I sort of feel like I have to.

Out of boredom I started watching the TV show Ghost Whisperer and so far I'm liking it more then I thought I would.

oh hell yes! shin-chan's on Netflix? how many seasons' worth? i know seasons 1 and 2 are both on Hulu but only for web streaming, not TV or iDevices.

Can anybody give an unbiased recommendation on both based on inappropriate content? In terms of content, is one version worse than the other? Are some seasons better than others from this standpoint?

Hell yeah! Shin Chan.
That show is like Simpsons in japan.

Finished watching The Big Lebowski. Pretty good!

Both venture into risque territories, but the UK Office can get very raunchy sometimes, to the point where I'm shocked they were allowed to get away with some of it on network television. I mean this in terms of cursing, sexual innuendos and such. Truth be told, though, the whole point of The Office is that it captures uncomfortable moments. David Brent and Michael Scott (the bosses on the UK and US Offices, respectively) have no concept of what is and isn't appropriate or politically correct, so a lot of the laughs come from their cluelessness of basic social norms.

What I'm trying to say is, The Office is supposed to be inappropriate, but not for shock laughter. In other words, you're not laughing because David Brent made an incredibly racist joke about black people, you're laughing because David Brent is clueless enough to think that it's actually funny. Even if you're easily offended by somewhat lude content, as I am, I would still check out the show.

That being said, I'd definitely stick with the US Office if you're interested in the show. There's far less cursing and innuendo, and you can mostly pick out which episodes are going to be racy just by looking at the title (example: there's an episode called Sexual Harassment. Guess what sort of territory that one ventures into).

I hope that's somewhat helpful

There is no way I could watch the UK version of The Office with out comparing it to the US version the whole time so I have never even gave it a chance.

I'm pretty sure it should be the other way around
Trust me, it's a completely different show. You owe it to yourself to watch it.
