Netflix (TV show suggestions?)
Looking for something good to watch. I love TV shows....I can watch season after season. I think I have watched them all Looking for a something I haven't seen yet. I stream everything, so watch instantly suggestions please. The latest I watched was "Leverage". Very very good show, I highly recommend it. I like shows like Burn Notice, Covert affairs, The Unit. Flash Point is excellent. Also some sci-fi....just finished 4400...it's ok, not great. Any recommendations?

Was glued to the TV last week for the marathon.
Had to be the best final show of any series I have ever watched.

Tried watching that, could not get through the first episode. But with everything I have heard so far, I need to give it another try.

Get through the first one. There will be others to get through as well, but the good thing about the show is that everything leads to something. Best show ever.

I can recommend several good series for you...
Scandal
Damages
Hell on Wheels
Touch
A Gifted Man
MI-5 (British series, not Mission Impossible)
Call the Midwife
The Grand
The Following
The Guardian
Luther
The Killing
Ripper Street
Wallander
The State Within
Fringe (first few seasons, then it got kind of bizarro)
Fawlty Towers
Copper
Awake
Scrubs
...and that's just the tip of the iceberg. :) Let me know if any of these float your boat. We can exchange recommendations in private if you like, if either of us finds something the other might like.

I missed the first few when it first came on and didn't get on board till season 2. During the marathon I watched the first season and I admit I didn't enjoy it very much. As time went on, it got more interesting and then I was hooked.

We had to force ourselves to get through season 1 of Breaking Bad...but loved it since.
We also enjoyed Orange is the New Black....dirty and vulgar, but entertaining no less.

RE: Netflix (TV show suggestions?)
Our Daughter is the same way, she will grab one show and watch the entire thing back to back. The favorite for all of our kids was and is Supernatural. My Wife and I actually watched several seasons and it is pretty entertaining. She also recently watched all of Bones. The Good Wife is an awesome show, as is Rizolli and Isles. A lot of the cable channels have a nugget or two that are very good. Major Crimes has been a great remake/replacement for Kyra Sedgewick and The Closer.
I also think Franklin and Bash is hilarious at times.
I completely forgot about the 4400, what ever happened to that? Did it have an end? Just seemed to disappear, like most of the current sitcoms need to do, yes including Michael J Fox and Robin William's most recent entries.

SHERLOCK! Merlin! Heroes! Am rewatching Dexter now. Kids are watching "how I met your mother". Couldn't watch Fringe about halfway through season 4, have not seen season 5 yet. As always Supernatural, Buffy, Raising Hope. Older shows like Knight Rider, Magnum PI, and the old Hulk with Bill Bixby give the kids a good laugh.

I'd love to see that, but I don't think it's on Netflix. Yet.
I enjoyed watching Rescue Me. The whole thing.
Caught the first episode of Hell on Wheels and was instantly struck by the lead character's authentic Southern accent. Hollywood is notorious for laughably bad Southern accents, but this dude was right on the money. Either he was a true Southerner or he faked the best Southern accent I'd ever heard from an actor. Ever.
So out of curiosity I googled him. Huh. Turns out Anson Mount, who plays Cullen Bohannon in Hell on Wheels, is from Dickson, Tennessee. I knew that accent had to be the real deal.
Hell on Wheels is good. Also, The Following. Not a huge Kevin Bacon fan, but he was very good in this.

Not sure what Netflix costs, but I picked up the entire first season of Rome on Bluray at Costco for $13.
