gainphile 762 Posted April 13, 2015 I love my Netflix. Never really watched TV shows/Movies but the occasional MotoGP and going to Cinema but now there are sooooo many options. So I've watched the full episode of 'Cosmos' by Neil de Grasse Tyson. Amazing Watched some old movies (Event Horizon, Total Recall, Star Trek into darkness etc) as I don't really know what movie to watch ! What else are there...? I am pointing my VPN to the US and quite surprised to find a title that's not there but available in Europe (Nicolas Cage "Knowing"). I wonder what else. Please share us what you watch and maybe a bit of review! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L J T 490 Posted April 13, 2015 I just signed up for a new mobile plan and I was given a free 6 month subscription to Netflix We really enjoy it. Movies on demand. The thing that impresses me the most is the definition of the movies. High quality playback. There is something for everybody to watch and no annoying advertisements that make you jump for the volume control ! We will be continuing the subscription at the end of the 6 month free period. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveC 917 Posted April 14, 2015 Not movies but if you haven't watched the House of Cards series then I recommend it. Kevin Spacey is outstanding in it. There is also season 1 of Marco Polo which took a few episodes to get going but still pretty good and interesting from a historical perspective. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gainphile 762 Posted April 14, 2015 I use a laptop connected to my TV . But in any case my VPN is terminated from the Router so if I have a netflix appliance in the future that will work too. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2LOUD2OLD 84 Posted April 14, 2015 Have been watching Falling Skies mostly (almost finished 4th season). Big fan, kind of like walking dead but with aliens. Can certainly recommend. House of Cards will likely be next on my list 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damhooligan 477 Posted April 15, 2015 The Mrs just finished binging on the first two seasons of Orange is the New Black. We watched that too.. I liked it. Season 3 will be on netflix in 2 months. Also unbreakable kimmy Schmidt is funny.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gainphile 762 Posted April 15, 2015 Cool. I'll put Falling Skies in my next watch list. TV had never been this fun 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goatboy 614 Posted April 15, 2015 A few tv series but mainly enjoying Shameless (US version) starring William H Macy as an alcoholic, unemployed father whose family manages to survive in spite of him. Sounds grim but it's actually a lot of fun, providing you like your comedy black. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then i noticed it was the us version i was gutted. I tried watching it, but didn't lasted longer then 5 minutes.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ugly 825 Posted April 15, 2015 Have been watching Falling Skies mostly (almost finished 4th season). Big fan, kind of like walking dead but with aliens. Can certainly recommend. House of Cards will likely be next on my list Great show. Huge contrast against walking dead though as it takes a much more optimistic view of humanity and the survivors of an apocalypse. It is actually nice to see the main characters maintain their belief in doing 'the right thing' despite what is going on around them. I enjoy both shows. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Muon Posted April 15, 2015 I just attempted to check what Netflix has to offer, but there is no guide to show what it has. Or have I missed it? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried watching it, but didn't lasted longer then 5 minutes.. Thanks for the heads up - I'll check out the UK version. I gave it a shot because I'm a fan of William H Macy and figured he was perfect for this character. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MusicOne 2,448 Posted May 3, 2015 I've taken up the Netflix offer on my Oppo 105D of a free month's trial. Excellent value for those who like movies.

evil c 4,332 Posted May 3, 2015 Overall very happy with the quality sound & picture quality wise - great interpretive playing of next episodes with series & personal preferences. Lot of old movies but there's always some you haven't seen - enjoying watching Weeds & American Horror Story (Kathy Bates & Jessica Lange are fantastic !) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
