Recommend good stuff you've seen on Netflix streaming

I just finished up Fullmetal Alchemist. Its very good if you are into anime.

Funimation's website has a ton of free streaming content as well, both subbed and dubbed (I can't stand English dubbing, which seems to be all that Netflix offers). Check out Darker Than Black and Black Lagoon if you liked FMA.

Like the British cop shows/crime dramas, there are so many unbelievably good anime series out there.

I thought House of Cards was okay, but I feel like it's vastly overrated simply because of Spacey and because Fincher directed the first 2 episodes. Never got behind Spacey's asides directly into the camera. Overall, I just felt like it was a show that tried to hit all the tropes of a "prestige" TV show, but the parts didn't add up to a satisfying whole.

Agreed. It's only 13 episodes, but still, watch something else.
 
I forgot Top of the Lake. It's weird, but about as good as streaming television gets... It's somewhere between Twin Peaks, The Sweet Hereafter, and Lone Star, IMO. I sat down on a Sunday night to watch and before I knew it, it was 5 am.
 
I have an HBO doc recommendation, not sure if its on Netflix yet. It about snowboarder Kevin Pearce called "The Crash Reel." Sucked me in and never looked back.

Awesome documentary. Thanks for the recommendation. A must watch if you have HBO.
 
The wife and I saved the last episode of Orange is the New Black for tonight

hope it doesn't disappoint

it doesn't

watched the crash reel last night, good recommendation, it was really good
 
I just received an email from Netflix that season five of breaking bad is now available for download.
 
Just finished the five episodes of The Fall, the BBC series starring Gillian Anderson. Still not sure how I felt about it. Generally liked it, but has some flaws. Not sure if I will go back if it comes back.
 
My thoughts, as well. I'm definitely going to watch the beginning of the next series, but I'll be interested to see how they build on the plot from the first. There's a lot there, though, and the writing is pretty great at times. It's also nice seeing Scully back on screen, not to mention a show that's based in Northern Ireland.

Oh yeah, Waking Ned Devine is also in the top 50. Noticed a few people talking about that in the funniest movie thread.
 
I really liked Orange, felt like it got a slight rut but really built a good foundation.

Def interested in hearing more about these people and their backgrounds
 
Feinburg and Sepinwall are killing Jason Biggs character, totally disagree with them. I thought he acted like a normal human being would

Jason Biggs is Jason Biggs. He's a one trick pony. Every time he's on screen I think that I'm watching American Pie again.
 
I thought Biggs played the role well in OitNB and agree with you Go.
 
I forgot Top of the Lake. It's weird, but about as good as streaming television gets... It's somewhere between Twin Peaks, The Sweet Hereafter, and Lone Star, IMO. I sat down on a Sunday night to watch and before I knew it, it was 5 am.

Watched the pilot of this on Sunday night. Other than Elizabeth Moss's miserable New Zealand accent, I thought it was intriguing. Beautiful art direction. I just dont understand why they chose her instead of an actress from NZ for that role.
