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

You might like Stargate SG-1 but be forewarned it doesn't have a nice, tidy ending as some of us may have liked. But a good story none the less.
Iagree And if you like Stargate SG-1, you can follow it up with Stargate Atlantis.

and don't bother past the first two episodes of Stargate Universe.

Think I will give The Tudors a look next.

Also, Orange is the New Black was pretty good.

But how long do you have to wait until season 3 comes out? I did that with Suits, and I hate having to wait many months for the next season. I'm just sticking with shows that are complete.

I binged the first 11 episodes of House of Cards S1 all day Sunday (up until Walking Dead came on), and then finished s1e12 afterwards and s1e13 this morning before work Big Grin

I'm sure that if I did not have to work today I would probably be a good chunk into S2 laugh out loud

Six Feet Under is a complete series that wraps up with a great ending. Not sure if that is your style, but it's worth a look. Others I would recommend have already been mentioned here.

Iagree Not everyone's cup of tea but very good if it's your sort of thing.

I searched for Six Feet Under on Netflix and Amazon Prime but its a no go. I think Michael C. Hall is in that one. Speaking of Dexter, I thought the Debra actress, Jennifer Carpenter, was very good (took a good long while for her character to grow on me though), but I can't seem to find much of her work.

I'm almost done with the first season of Farscape. A little iffy at this point, but I know how some shows take a little while to get going.

For the last year, I think my rankings would be:
Dexter
Breaking Bad
Lost
Firefly
Heroes
Jericho
