That's on my list.

Almost done with this series. I agree. Pretty awesome. So many twists and turns, don't nap or you'll miss something.

Watched "Black Mirror" last night... only 6 episodes, each different. Hyped as British "Twilight Zone", only updated. Can't argue. It's surreal to say the least. Careful if you're offended by British humor (can be pretty juvenile at times) but some highly original and thought-provoking concepts. Enjoyed it.

"Marco Polo" series debuts Dec. 12, looks interesting.

The 100 is great in a "violent beat the crap out of each other" kind of way.

The woman is all over some scandal. She's not really a TV person but she's been binge watching that show on Netflix.

Scandal is fantastic.

"Damages" is another good series if she likes "Scandal". Glenn Close is outstanding in it.

Just watched "Broadchurch". Outstanding and definitely worth a watch.

I finished it last night. Fantastic! I watched Hinterlands also a few weeks ago. It was pretty good.

Am watching Medium now. Caught a bit of Manhattan on TV this morning; looks good. Any word if it will be on Netflix? Also watched a little of Salem, but could not get into it.

Marco Polo was enjoyable. Really picked up towards the end. I just started watching Black Mirror last night, only though the first episode but it seems like it has some promise.

I really liked Peaky Blinders. Think that is a very well made show.

Happy Valley is another Netflix original show that is pretty good.

I absolutely loved that show, watched every single episode.

Just finished Survivors. It was actually really really good. I hate that it got cancelled after 2 seasons.

That would be hard to do. The Killing was excellent. I'll put Low Winter Sun on my list, thanks.

You won't regret it! The first 15 minutes will have you hooked!

You were right. Got sucked in. Pretty powerful stuff, but a little complicated so don't dare miss anything. I had to backtrack a couple of times when I got interrupted, because stuff was happening that I had missed clues on. Anyway, yes, great show, thanks for the recommendation.

Loved it. Too bad AMC decided not to renue it for a 2nd season, but if enough people on Netflix watch and enjoy it maybe they will buy the rights and make a second season.

I watched about half of "Marco Polo" and then stopped. Lost interest. Glad to know it picks up again. I might have to go back and finish it. Not quite what I was expecting. It's about Marco's early life in the Orient, before the trading and stuff begins. Interesting, but kinda disjointed and hard to piece together at times.

Just started Bates Motel and Broadchurch, really like both of these shows from what Ive seen.

Yes it was pretty slow the first half, although it still peaked my intersest. I think the last few episodes were really good and I am looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.

Love Bates Motel, second season hopefully coming on soon. I wish they would add Hannibal-NBC version. The guy who plays Hannibal is awesome-Mads Mickelson-plays the part perfectly.

I want them to add The Closer too. Don't want to have to pay for another streaming company like Hulu+ or Amazon prime

I had completely overlooked Marco Polo. I was at a theater this weekend and saw the previews for Marco Polo on Netflix. Watched six episodes later that night, the wife was able to hang in for about four of those, she is a history/geography freak so this will keep her interest.

It did start out slow, but after all this is all stuff we didn't know.

I tried to watch Hannibal as it was coming out, but Netflix has spoiled me, and now I really hate waiting a week for an episode. So I usually wait for a season to end as I like to watch more than 1 at a time. I did think it was interesting from what I saw.

Haven't watched Hannibal at all - well, don't really have TV, just Netflix. But I *love* watching this actor. He's just awesome. There are several movies on Netflix starring Mickelson, most are foreign with English captions, but all of them are just fantastic. He's one of the few actors who catch my attention at the very mention of his name, he's that good. And that craggy face is one of a kind. LOL
