JennyFlynn Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Just a little Off Topic discussion. I'm a big TV watcher and tend to have Netflix run on my 2nd screen while playing SWTOR or doing whichever really, just seeing if there's other folks out there enjoying the same shows or perhaps have something new to recommend. I currently follow; - The Flash - Arrow - Legends of Tomorrow - Gotham - S.H.I.E.L.D - Sleepy Hollow - Supergirl - Vikings - Reign - Salem - The Vampire Diaries - The Originals - Game of Thrones - Doctor Who - The Walking Dead (gave up on Fear the Walking Dead, can't get into it) - Once Upon a Time - The 100 Also recently watched all of Prison Break on Netflix finally and started watching Outlander which is surprisingly good. Orange is the New Black (hi Marr!). Watched Breaking Bad though I've yet to start on Better Call Saul. Currently watching House MD as I never got around to it when it was originally airing (thanks work!) so yeah. Anyone else wanna share and make me feel like less of an obsessed freak?

Fireswraith Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Aside from awesome movies on the SyFy channel most of what I watch comes from Netflix these days, they go something like this (just the ones I can think of off the top of my head) The Originals Vampire Diaries The 100 Daredevil Gotham 30 Rock Various other big shows House of Cards The Seven Deadly Sins Sword Art Online Madoka Magica (both the season and the movies, which just retell the series) Pokemon Yuki Yuna is a Hero Glitter Force Yo-Kai Watch You can now feel like less of an obsessed freak.

JennyFlynn Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Ah yes thanks for reminding me.. Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage likely when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorsaLindahl Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) While I don't watch quite as many, I do watch: Arrow Flash Outlander Game of Thrones Once Upon a Time Supernatural Daredevil Jessica Jones Supergirl (though I'm kind of on the fence with it atm) On my list to watch, I have: The Ranch (looks interesting and I'm an old school Sam Elliott fan) Last Man Standing Longmire I've watched all of the Star Treks over the past few years. Fringe was pretty good. The final season was a bit out there, though. But overall I thought it was a good show. Let's see.. Farscape was pretty decent. Dark Matter was ok. Continuum was good (didn't particularly like the ending, though). Lost was good - don't know if it's still available on Netflix or not. Dr. Who up until about 2 years ago. Torchwood (Spin-off of Dr. Who). Heroes and Heroes Reborn. There are a few others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

SuperGrunt Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I like Netflix at times, however I kind of like Amazon Prime Instant Video better. I like the originals there a bit better than some of the Netflix ones, and it's also actually cheaper and it includes a lot of cool extras such as free shipping and discounts. Also they have that HBO contract, and a bunch of shows that are exclusive to them on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) some of the shows on your list I watch as well stopped watching sleepy hollow few episodes short of a finale, and having read the recaps - feel zero desire to catch up. of the still ongoing shows, I watch The 100 Arrow Flash Legends of tomorrow Blindspot Lucifer Agents of Shield Castle (though starting to lose interest) Izombie hoping for renewal of Supergirl Galavant Agent Carter on Netflix all of Marvel. all of it. Jon Benrthal is a gift as Punisher. seriously. Orange is the new black Young Justice (dear got, let them make the third season that show so very much deserves it) Leverage Mr Fisher Murder Mysteries Marco Polo Sense8 (its so weird... and yet compelling and season finale is awesome) thinking of going for House of Cards, but with all of the above, haven't had a chance to find time for it that's off the top of my head/most recent stuff I sometimes try out new stuff/occasionally rewatch old favorites (case in point Leverage) edited to add - have considered amazon prime, but their originals don't interest me as much, and after trial months and marathoning all of Covert affairs, i was kinda done. edited again... can't believe I forgot Elementary.. but then again.. its not on Hulu and while it hasn't been going downhill as much as Sleepy hollow, it HAS been losing steam here and there. also, the Librarians, but then again - its not on a network I have legal acess to so I end up catching up on it months after season is done.

Seireeni Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Aaaah, I have watched so many shows since I got Netflix... I always forgot watch the shows I was supposed to watch, but now I don't have that problem anymore! So, I mostly watch shows from Netflix or by buying full seasons as a dvd. And no, I don't watch any shows while playing games, too distracting. Shows I've watched and liked - Criminal Minds (Profiling! Criminal psychology! Profiling! Thomas Gibson in a suit! What could be better? ) - Stargate Universe (Yes, I actually liked SGU. For everyone who thinks I'm a traitor to everything that is science fiction: COME AT ME BRO! I WATCH ANYTHING WITH ROBERT CARLYLE IN IT!) - Doctor Who (Though I liked it better when Russell T. Davies was still running the show.) - Torchwood (I even watched the last season! It was not good.) - Being Human (UK version. Have not seen the US version.) - Once Upon a Time (And I'm probably several seasons behind by now since this one's not on Netflix...) - Hannibal (No Anthony Hopkins here, but hey, Hannibal Lecter is still Hannibal Lecter) - Dexter (I really should watch less shows about serial killers, shouldn't I?) - Legend of the Seeker (I also considered reading the books this is based on, but then I heard Darken Rahl is only in the first one.) - White Collar (Why, Finnish Netflix, WHY do you only have five seasons of this, when google is happy to tell me there are in fact six seasons, and the fifth seasons ends in a cliffhanger?! Note to self, buy sixth season of White Collar from online.) - Daredevil. (I don't often like the main character in superhero shows, but I actually like Matt.) - Better Call Saul (It's like Breaking Bad, but characters are likeable!) - Avatar: The Last Airbender (I don't know why I like this one. I just do!) - Hemlock Grove (Famke Janssen can play one awesome female villain...) - House M.D. (One of those shows I was supposed to watch from TV...but I always forgot. Now buying seasons on dvd.) Have watched, but were not my favourites: - Supernatural. (I sincerely liked the first season. Nowadays my reasons for watching this are Misha Collins, Misha Collins, Misha Collins and Destiel. If they ever fire Misha Collins from the show, I won't watch it anymore. ) - The Walking Dead (I don't know what bothers me about this one. I like some of the characters, dislike some, but I guess I never just got hooked on.) - BBC Sherlock (It was hard to decide which category this belonged to. In the one hand, it's the one Sherlock Holmes adaptation I can stand. In another, comparing to the original short stories I like, Holmes is only a little like the original Holmes, and this is getting worse and worse as the show goes on - and the reason I can't stand most Holmes-adaptations is because Holmes is nothing like the original Holmes in those.) - Breaking Bad (Hard to like a show when you dislike most of the characters. Especially the main characters.) - Agent Carter (I liked most of the characters, but I don't like how she was reduced to some "secretary by day, investigator by night"-role after being much more awesome in the Captain America movie.) - Jessica Jones (Watched a couple of episodes because of David Tennant, but main character felt too much like the cliche of "rough private detector". And there was not enough David Tennant.) - Arrow (Again, I don't much care for the main character, but a couple of other characters are okay. However, the plot often feels a bit too...comic-y, for the lack of better word.) - Sleepy Hollow (Ichabod is kind of hot. Ichabod is also kind of funny. Aaaaand...that's about it.) - Heroes (Watched the first season, but only liked a couple of characters and haven't touched any other seasons yet.) - American Horror Story (I liked the first season, but almost completely gave up on the second season. The third season is still on my to watch -list, though.) ...and several I probably already forgot about. And to answer the question you all are asking right now: no, I have no life.

JennyFlynn Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 - Stargate Universe (Yes, I actually liked SGU. For everyone who thinks I'm a traitor to everything that is science fiction: COME AT ME BRO! I WATCH ANYTHING WITH ROBERT CARLYLE IN IT!) Oooh you reminded me, watched the original SG-1 and SG-Atlantis (with Khal Drogo Jason omg gimme). Still intend to watch SG-U because Robert.. <3 @Porsa; I got lost on Lost, still need to finish it Farscape was good and I forgot.. Firefly <3 Kinda love Nathan Fillion.. except in Buffy. >.> Can't say much to Amazon Prime watching.. never tried it and I may not be able to given the fact that I'm in the Netherlands and we don't have it here, from what I've seen. @Jeweledleah; I watched Daredevil S2 as well but had to get used to seeing Jon Bernthal.. after his time on TWD and another movie role where he plays kind of an arse I really had to get used to him as Frank Castle Guess he makes for a very convincing a-hole. @Luna; True Blood! Almost forgot about that already. Loved the show though towards the end it kinda became meh, lost it's fire. I haven't tried Sherlock yet, never really been into it and the movie with RDJ was kinda boring.. I think, I don't remember cos I kinda fell asleep. Looks like there's a lot of people enjoying Flash/Arrow/Legends Yay!! Some shows I used to watch are also Buffy, Angel, Charmed, Xena, Hercules, The Tudors oh and Friends. Those are shows I'm likely to re-watch whenever I'm bored and all my current shows are on their stupid summer break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) ha! it was easier for me to just see him as Frank Castle, becasue I don't watch the walking dead and the only movie I have seen with him at least recently is The Snitch, so... amusingly enough I looked up other stuff he has done and apparently he can be just as convincing in comedy O_O Charmed! I loved that show so much when it was still on. been rewatching it little by little, and I forgot how cheesy it was still love it though, but kinda annoyed that Netflix intro uses last seasons instrumental music instead of original song. and speaking of rewatching old favorites - Gilmore girls looking forward to the reuinion. and if you have seen and liked Gilmore girls, I would highly recommend bunheads. it was canceled after just one season, but IMO still worth watching. why yes, I have no life I've also gotten used to working with a TV show running in a background after working for this one company (TV was hanging sort of in front of all our desks, so it was easy to see it AND work), so now even though i freelance nowadays, I still kept that habit of having a show running in a background and watching it from the corner of my eye otherwise, I'd never have anywhere near enough time to watch all the stuff i end up watching AND get any work done Edited April 28, 2016 by Jeweledleah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) @Jenny Give BBC Sherlock a chance, Benedict Cumberbatch is to die for, I absolutely love him. I just don't love the extreme waiting periods between series. True Blood was great, until just after the Witch season, which was 4 I think. Then it declined. Eric was always my main reason for watching, he and Pam were awesome. I hated how they ended it...the end of the series failed as hard as the end of the books unfortunately, but I am speaking as someone who was shipping Eric and Sookie. I could have even accepted Bill and Sookie if done right, but yeah, I ended up disappointed. @Jeweledleah I watched Charmed too when it was on! Loved the theme song, and I shipped Cole and Phoebe big time. I really need to rewatch it at some point, cause I forget how it all ended up. @Seireeni I used to watch Being Human UK too, I sort of lost track of it, as they were always shifting it around on the schedule, but I really liked it. I really despised the US rip off version, I watch a few of it and yeah, it was just anger inducing. Edited April 28, 2016 by Lunafox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like people with a balanced good and bad side, not some goody two-shoes wholesome gentleman like Bill who then absolutely flips and goes psycho once he tastes the bad.

Seireeni Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 High five for Jenny for knowing how awesome Robert Carlyle is! I strongly recommend trying out SGU, especially if you don't mind shows that are more about drama and less about action. SGU was actually the first time I saw Carlyle on screen - and I have to say, I was quite impressed. In fact, when I heard that Disney scrapped the SW expanded universe, my reaction was pretty much "that's it, I'm not watching the new movies...unless Robert Carlyle is in them.". @Seireeni I used to watch Being Human UK too, I sort of lost track of it, as they were always shifting it around on the schedule, but I really liked it. I really despised the US rip off version, I watch a few of it and yeah, it was just anger inducing. I can't even watch a show on tv when they don't keep changing the time, so thankfully I watched Being Human from Netflix. Good to know the US version is not worth checking out, I won't waste my time on it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireswraith Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Young Justice (dear got, let them make the third season that show so very much deserves it) I watched all the Justice League, JL Unlimited, and Young Justice seasons.

Just makes me think "bugger off tool". and I adored Lafayette. I keep hearing they might do an Eric and Pam spinoff, but I'm not sure that's going to happen, ASkars seems to be into the movies these days. Bill always came off as a bit of a phony to me, especially after he became sheriff and was more obviously into the ALV and the Authority. But, he wanted to be human and Sookie didn't want to be a fae, so my ending would have been that she blasts him to drain her fae powers and ends up curing him and they end up together. It started with them, I could have lived with it ending with them, but yah, I totally shipped Eric and Sookie. Loved Lafayette, he was so awesome. Also loved Russell Edgington This scene...my gods, can I swear my devotion to Russell? LOL. I can't even watch a show on tv when they don't keep changing the time, so thankfully I watched Being Human from Netflix. Good to know the US version is not worth checking out, I won't waste my time on it then. Yeah, it makes me a bit nuts when they do that, so I'll have to do the whole netflix thing or get the dvds if they're out there or something. I really hated the US version, but ultimately, you have to decide these things on your own, but for me after the UK version, US version sucked.

GabbyMe Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I love Netflix... but I'm running out of things to watch. Strangely I don't watch a lot of things either was mostly into documentaries, LOST, Fringe, The Walking Dead, Digimon... Lately I've been watching... Game of Thrones. Obviously. And I decided to unsub from netflix for a while, and go with amazon prime. Mostly because netflix is gonna jack up the price for subs anyway, and amazon prime costs exactly the same. I've been with netflix since the beginning, so it felt sad . But lots of stuff on amazon instant I haven't seen yet, like Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
