we really don't have any original ideas in this country, do we?
All top drawer shows although person of interest is no longer available. Dexter is one of my favorites ( one season is kinda monotonous, the one with Lithgow)........ lillyhammer was fun. Orange is New Black is good. The boyfriend is a weiner.
Just completed Hell on wheels..really good also. Sons of Anarchy is addicting.
Havent seen the Killing, thanks for the heads up. Will start watching that one today.
I like any and all shows with animated dinosaurs (discovery, "walking with" (not cartoons) and also the universe beginings shows.
Dislike ....40,000 2 star movies I have to navigate through..... hate that.
Good thread. Keep us informed of the "good uns"

We do what Paul Mccarney said....... "take a sad song, and make it better"
Actually, there were ,many BBC shows that were re done here.
I just wish they would air "Only Fools and Horses" here. Fucking brilliant. Glad to see "Trailer Park Boys" I(Canadian) finally catching on in the US.
Can't you buy it?

Oh dear god... my brain is now trying to strangle my imagination for thinking about what an american remake of 'Only Fools and Horses' would be like. Thanks for that.
'Trailer Park Boys' is great! Took most of the first season for me to get into it (and for them to find their feet?), but then I was hooked - seven seasons wasn't enough!

@Thunderball just a word of warning. i imagine the killing is difficult to watch if you have kids. i don't and it was still emotional for me.
What I like about trailer park boys is that every person in that show reminds me of someone I have either met or known in my lifetime. Really a sad commentary about human beings if you really think about it. And your right, you have to force yourself to watch the first three episodes or so to "get it"..Oh dear god... my brain is now trying to strangle my imagination for thinking about what an american remake of 'Only Fools and Horses' would be like. Thanks for that.

Oh have you seen Life Unexpected? I find that so emotionally draining. Is that just me? I've never met anyone that's watched it
@Thunderball have you watched primeval? Great fun show with loads of dinos.
Oh and spooks (mi5) is another great show.

Well sir, I watched an episode while visiting friends in Manchester and fell on the floor laughing and then stayed glued to the torrents until I downloaded all of them including all the specials. I just wish I could share them with the rest of the US
The only thing with that one was, they would tell jokes I didnt understand until during my 4week visit in England I would either experience some of the sights they were talking about or was explained to me (over and over again) some of the phrasing/secret code you guys use... (Apples and pears-Up the stairs).....all very forign to me, but really funny when I started catching on to all of this sub culture....
After my stay there, I re watched them and were even funnier.
I use this place http://goodfil.ms/ saves time searching.
I tell you what, if they did they wouldn't have wrote it so they lost all their money!Oh dear god... my brain is now trying to strangle my imagination for thinking about what an american remake of 'Only Fools and Horses' would be like. Thanks for that.

I have not. I have just added this to my list. Many thanks.
Wow... Primeval looks fun.. amy have to start on that one today instead. Thank You. Dinosaurs.....cool.
Put spooks in my list.... I watched another BBC MI5 show that was good the first two seasons or so, then lost the star of the show ans wasnt the same. Dont remember the name of it. Hell, May have been MI5 ?
That show just absolutely could not be re-made. You cant re make the Andy Griffin show and you cant re make Only Fools and Horses.
OMG you need to watch Trailer Park Boys OMG
@Thunderball and @Hermit they are filming a new season NOW for Netflix, and another movie to boot! And Corey is going to be in it (though i doubt Trevor will).
OMG OMG OMG
Thats like music to my ears !! The Shit hawks will be flying soon !!
Thanks!
We don't have much longer to wait, either. Last i heard it's going to be available this fall!!
I still think there is a lot of good in your society. And yes, I have seen some of those deranged orangutans on Fox News but I see the positives.
I just watched
the premiere episode of the killing. Are they all going to be just sad?

I'm going nuts waiting for a new season of Derek. And hoping to eff Karl Pilkington comes back to it. 
Equally as nutty waiting for a new season of Orange Is The New Black. But that 2nd season just came out so I guess it'll be a while.
And on a non-Netflix-related note, I sorta wish I could go into a coma and not wake up until October when season 5 of Walking Dead starts.
PS I agree with everyone else, TRAILER PARK BOYS RUUUUUUUUUULES!!!!!!!

I have never done this.......but, you can get a service for pretty cheep that will replace your IP address with an IP from a different country. then you can sign up to US, UK, Australian and Canadian Netflix and other movie sites...due to royalty issues, certain shows will never be shown in each of the areas you find Netflix and other show/movie sites.
Actually I think there are even free ways around that. Can't remember off hand how to do it though.

Breaking Bad was great.
I enjoy Person of Interest as well.
Perhaps you would enjoy Mad Men and Hell on Wheels.
If you like the Horror, check out the different installments of American Horror Story.

Awesome !
Good plan. It was a pain in the butt trying to follow when shown erratically on Channel 5 / 5USA, but worth it
So I just peeked at Netflix USA... no POI there?!
Looked it up today, it wasn't there. It said not available
Pissed me off after everyone raved about it.

I use an old version of Media Hint (a chrome extension) to get USA stuff. Not sure how it works; there don't appear to be IP changes or proxy servers involved. It's tiny too, can't be doing much. Dunno how to do it the other way round, but I imagine googling with terms like iplayer and usa might unearth something.

Unusual for UK Netflix to have something US-made that the US Netflix doesn't. That's sucky licensing, I guess
I deffo like gruesome. I admit i did squint really a lot when that woman cut of that guys jollies in Hostel
Peep Show is a comedy that can't be missed IMO. There is still one more season coming, but all current ones are on American Netflix finally. Being in the U.S. I had no access to the U.K. ITV 4 programming, and BBC America played a few, I got hooked. I used that to justify my downloading of the whole series, but it's now on netflix.
It's a first person filmed comedy, and the two main characters thoughts consistently narrate the show. The main characters are hilarious, and an awkward and unfamiliar to most shows, sense of humor is provided with hearing their thoughts. It's real unique, and funny as shit. It took me a while at first because of the cultural and political references, but I love the show so much I'd pause and google. I've watched the whole series way too many times.
Anyone in the U.K. Watch this? It's Robert Webb, and David Mitchell. Olivia Coleman is another bigger name in it. "That Mitchell and Webb Look" is a sketch comedy show by the same guys, it's on netflix I think, and funny, too.
And the human centipede, fucking god damn. I thought the first one was fucked, my friend and I almost turned off the second one. A level of creepy I thought could not be achieved is all I can say. I am not squeamish offended or grossed out in the slightest way, either. I will watch almost anything once, and this one got me. Soooo fucked up. Such a creepy dude.

If you are into SciFi (other than Dr. Who of course) you should really do yourself a favor and check out Babylon 5.
As much as I liked all of the Star Trek variations (Enterprise was the best IMHO) you will love this!
