So this thread gave me the idea, what is there to watch on Netflix that doesn't suck ass? Post up anything, series or movie, any genre, obvious or not.

What I can think of right now, Ill go through my history and add more-

The X-files (re-watched every single damn one)
Eureka
Top Gear (UK)
 
Here's my list of shows and movies I like enough to rate (most are 4 or 5, a couple of 3s). The majority (about 90%) are instant streaming, but a couple aren't.
Just pulled it from my Netflix account. All the documentaries I've watched are really good. I highly recommend them all.

You just won the thread.
 
Couple French Action movies to check out:

District B13
The Nest
Point Blank

I've got some other promising ones in my queue. Frenchies make some fine action movies. Cinematography and pacing is refreshingly different from most Hollywood fare...I might even call it sophisticated.

Anyway. Netflix streaming has opened up a whole universe of interesting (non-artsy) foreign films to me...got quite a few to work through still.

I liked Lilyhammer, the Norwegian mobster show that Netflix produced. They have a few seasons of 24, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Walking Dead on Instant Viewing as well.

But, but, but...Netflix streaming has no content!! /sarcasm

There's a ton of stuff in Crono's list I've never seen that I'm interested in. I guess I should be glad I have taste and don't give two craps about most of the newest junk Hollywood puts out, which is the ONLY reason I can think of why someone would think there's no content available.

A few more--all of the shows have pretty much the entire run aside from the current season if they're currently on the air:

MI-5
How I Met Your Mother
South Park
The Office (US and UK versions)
Family Guy
Sports Night
Phineas and Ferb
Bones

Yeah, no content at all.

What the heck is "non instant" streaming? Streaming I can only watch at a certain time? I am new to netflix streaming.
