Season 1 excellent.. Thought Season 2 was a steady downhill ride to disinterest.

Season 1 was amazing. Shocked at the start of season 2. Only watched 4 episodes thus far. I've put it on hold while currently binge watching Sons of Anarchy.

Also a great show. Woody and Matt should both get Emmy nods for this. If he does then Matt (I'm calling him that cause I don't want to attempt to spell his last name) might have half of an EGOT before the year is over. He could win for Dallas Buyers Club.

Also like The Americans on FX. If you missed season 1 then it's another great binge watch!

I just got Netflix about 6 weeks ago. Sitting at my desk overnight at work we can stream on our phones as long as we use headphones. I finished Breaking Bad, EPIC. Heisenberg was a legend. Started Dexter and House of Cards last week, I enjoy both of them. Orange is the new black was pretty great too. The tattooed thicker chick is gorgeous.

She was built like a brick $hithouse -- no wonder Woody flew off the deep end over her.

If you haven't watched Deadwood and The Wire, HBO series sometime back, netflix has them for all seasons on dvd..

I thought Resurrection was good, and it feels like they can do a lot with it. Only 1 show in.

Started out pretty good but I think it got stupid about 2/3 the way into last season. Most inept FBI agents in history. Giving it the rest of this season to see if it turns around.
