Dude. Thanks for the tip. I had not heard of this show but really enjoyed the two episodes I watched last night.
 
Couldn't get into "Brick." The writing was so awkward and stilted.

Was pleasantly surprised with "It's a Disaster" with David Cross and Julia Stiles. I had low expectations given the genre and plot synopsis, but I ended up laughing a lot.

I think it's great but I started it thinking it was a comedy and the first episode is bleak.

I really like Brick. Rian Johnson's take on old pulp crime noir is pretty interesting IMO
 
Watched the first 3 eps of Orange Is The New Black yesterday. Man they really hook you in with the titties in the first 5 minutes and then it all seems to go away. I like the way they're fleshing out the character backstories. Writing seems to be improving with each episode.
 
I just started watching Longmire and I really like it. 5 episodes in, and it's a damn good procedural with some untapped potential in its running backstory.

I watched the whole first season in about 4 days. It was really the first time I had used Netflix to watch tv shows. I'm hooked on that show now and they need to hurry up and get the second season up.

Another show on there that I would recommend, if you don't already watch it, is Hell on Wheels. I had someone recommend it to me two weeks ago and I started watching it last Monday. I ended up going through all 20 episodes (two seasons) by this past Monday. Now eagerly awaiting the third season of that to be added.

3rd season is about 3/4s done at the moment. Netflix will usually add new seasons about a week before the next season comes out so when the next season comes out, set your DVRs for the new season and you can get a double dose.

I watch Hell On Wheels, but feel like it has largely gone nowhere.
 
Watched "Everything Must Go" and really liked it. Will Ferrell in a serious role. It's a little quirky but I like movies like that. Reminded me of "Larry Crowe" with Tom Hanks which I also liked. (Don't know if Larry Crowe is available on Netlix)
