Need help with my next TV series on Netflix/Amazon Prime

41 17 February 14, 2014 at 07:32 PM in Chat (2)
In the last year I've watched all episodes of:
Lost
Heroes
Firefly
Breaking Bad
Dexter
Jericho

and enjoyed all of them immensely. Can't seem to find anything else yet on Netflix or Amazon that would be as good as those shows are. Anyone care to throw out some recommendations based on my top tier shows above? Tried 4400 and another one that I had to quit on lately. Thanks!

Several Loungers agree on:

Six Feet Under
Dexter
Breaking Bad

Unfortunately two of these options are in the OP. Confused

That depends. Do you get bonus points?

I see Longmire is on Netflix now, maybe it already was and I didn't see it before. Dontknow

Excellent show, took two or three episodes and I was hooked, DH loves it too. Has an 8/10 on IMDB.

They just started airing season 3 and I think you can still record all of the new season, as they show them repeatedly. Or you can watch them online at the A&E website, but watch the first two seasons on Netflix before watching the most recent or you'll be a bit lost.

Just watched the first episode of Hinterland, about to start another one. It was an excellent show with a good cast and plot, it's about a police detective who leaves London to work in Wales.

Thanks, put it on my watch list. I usually like the British shows. Have you seen Happy Valley or Southcliffe? They are both detective dramas and pretty good. Netflix has them streaming.

I haven't watched either of these yet but they are on my list. The woman in Happy Valley, Sarah Lancashire, is a really good actress. Quite liked her in Last Tango in Halifax, The Paradise, and several other shows she's been in, including Doctor Who.

Continuum - It's just so, so awesome. If you like sci-fi and time travel, this is for you. There's 3 seasons so far and the fourth is still sort of up in the air, but still worth it to get that far. Highly recommend.
All 3 seasons are on Netflix.

Now following:

Crossbones - costuming leaves a bit to be desired but otherwise enjoyable Blackbeard/POTC type stuff.
The Blacklist - James Spader is awesome. The female lead is not awesome.
Once Upon a Time - it's getting better but I'm not as in love with it as everyone else.
