Good evening, Steemians!

My wife and I don't have cable television, and I haven't watched it for years, but I do like to watch a good movie before bed or a good episode of a good show.

We figured that for $10 a month we can stop trying to find free streaming movies online (dodgy) and not have to worry about crappy loading shits.

I was wondering if anyone with a Netflix account could recommend some goods series and/or movies that they've seen recently. I literally don't know any of the series on here except The Walking Dead and The Office lol....

Thanks in advance for any help!

wow, just got netflux? lol . I would reccomend few tv series. I enjoyed Lost, 24, Prison Break. Also, if you are into syfy, Stargate is cool too: there is Sg1, stargate atlantis, etc. if you like comedy mixed with con artist actions, checkout Leverage.

Thank you! I like good shows that aren't shallow and/or stupid lol.

Sense8, this show will change your life!

Watch Shameless (U.S. version). William Macy is absolutely fantastic in his majorly dysfunctional role as the father of the Gallegher family.

black mirror is a little to paranoid for me but i still had to watch it all.

The episode about the perils of social media called "Nosedive" is a must see!

yes so much more so for steemit users!!

Orange is the new black ;-)

I heard that one was good. :) Thanks

The Crown, for sure.

Ok I'll look into it.

cowspiracy talks about the leading causes of environmental destrcution and climate change and how we can stop it in its tracks, this movie made me cry with joy at the end. oh!
its @VeganSilverStack you probably saw it already! hahah

Ha yes I've seen that one! Thanks!

White Collar!

I'll be sure to check it out! Thanks!

It's honestly one of my all time favorite shows! I hope you like it lol. You'll have to follow up with me after you catch a few episodes and let me know what you think.

I've just unsubed my Netflix this month, the Aussie government just introduced the "Netflix Tax" and the company hiked the price as well so it went up by 20 percent in one hit. On top of that we only get 1/5 of the content that Netflix serves in 'Murica.
Last Kingdom and Expanse are two high quality shows I'd recommend.
Bo Jack Horseman and Kimmy Schmidt for some unconventional comedy.
and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency for something completely different!
Enjoy.

Thanks man, wonder why they didn't offer you guys more in Oz.

It's because of international content distribution rights. Big money in control....


Makes us among the worlds most prolific Pirates!

Have you watched "What the Health"? It's on Netflix. It's excellent. We got rid of cable years ago. We have Apple TV and subscibe to Netflix and Gaia and just watch we want to.

No, I haven't! But I will take a look!

Based on your posts, it seem like a film that will resonate with you.

It is the same guys who did Cowspiracy

I don't think so, but Im not 100% sure. One guy did this film.

My wife and I recently watched it, then tried to go grocery shopping. Uggggggh! Now I'm going to starve as everything is contaminated in one way or another.

I do fine on almost all organic fruits and some juiced veggies. It's my teenagers that I worry about. I don't buy crap, but they eat it when they're with friends. I hope they learn from my and my husband's example. There is so much toxic food out there that humans can't even properly digest, and almost everyone seems overweight and on meds. I guess we all have the choice to either become the master of our body or else the industrialized food and medical system will be its master.

I'm one of those weirdos with no tv and I try everything in my power to avoid mainstream anything. I got rid of the tv about 20 years ago and have only seen it a handful of times ever since. Nothing ever made me want it back, but I did not watch it much in the first place because I grew up witha dad who was against it. He wanted us to go out and play and then we got one show a week maybe. His choice usually.

I watch documentaries on yt or vimeo if I have any time for that - maybe a few times a month. These days, I'm interested in ancient ruins, steemit and random travel related topics. I'm sure that is no help at all :)

That's pretty much been my past 5 years. I haven't had cable tv, just a tv to watch movies now and again. :)

My last movies were Star Wars (some version) for my son but I slept through it and Batman which I could not sleep through but after a while I just closed my eyes because it was mean and gory and flashing lights or too dark to see. Lightweight!

Okja! You must start with Okja! A brand new vegan fable!

Then Breaking Bad and House of Cards.

Ha ok! Cool! Thank you :)

We are watching it now!

They do eat fish stew but that doesn't detract from the overall thrust.

It was a powerful movie :)

Daredevil and Flaked are good.

Colony!!! It's sooooo awesome. I also really like The 100. Suits is also good. I liked Prison Break too.

There's really so many good things on Netflix....I guess it all depends on your taste as there's something for everybody.

"What the health" if you haven't seen it yet.
