- I have to watch "The Wire" .. not on netflix though.



Rrright, that is why I 've mentioned My name is earl / Seinfeld, AD, TPB etc., along the line of other shows. I don't watch them as they are tele-casted, I generally catch up at a later date except Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones, why I like it. Well, many repeated reference from friends set me up first, I started appreciating the medieval setup, most importantly Ned Stark's character is of something I always love to watch, as it unfolded Rob Stark reflected similar characteristics and then the Dragon lady. Most importantly Peter Dinklage's super impressive style, despite his too humble figure he exhibits his prowess and finally Charles Dance for his authoritative actions. Ygritte and Gilly, I certainly enjoyed watching them in the medieval outfit.

Those age inappropriate contents you mentioned are the biggest bumps against getting our teens to sit and watch many shows, I even tried to search if there are any edited versions available (PG-13), no luck so far and I don't have required patience to sit and edit. I just replicate the story to my kids after watching good shows minus all the inappropriate contents for their age.

Sometimes I feel that the "age appropriate" - is for binding us parents. I always tell my older son - you will one day soon graduate to NC16 with your friends - but we are going to be stuck in PG for many more years (for my younger son).

I have watched each and every super hero and animated movie worth watching in theatres - but am unable to go watch Gone Girl (and many such more).

Such is the power of the medium - that I was eagerly looking forward to watching the Hobbit which released recently. I remember having such mixed feelings when I watched the first one.

Which is why I love Netflix so much. It allows me to watch more age appropriate stuff without the kid censorship😜

Delhite, man is this a Delhi thing? lol....

Breaking Bad was the one I loved so much - binge watched the complete series. Then, started watching Homeland. Insane, this is. I am on third season, and couldn't resist myself. Totally addicted to it.

I somehow didn't like Game of Thrones much. Found a bit slow. But, may resume Season 2 soon in the hope that I might find it interesting again.

Another one I loved is Spartacus. Great story and acting, especially Season 2. Word of caution, if you think GoT is intense with all its adult theme, wait till you watch Spartacus. It's Rated and extreme, nevertheless with great story. Totally hooked to it.

State of Affairs is another one I found pretty interesting and captivating. I watched few episodes on TV, but then got busy with something else. I am trying to catch up to it on Internet (XBMC).

All in all, (English) TV series are keeping me busy. Love it.

Here are few in my list to watch:

Sherlock
Fargo - TV Series
True Detective
Dexter
Doctor Who
Sons of Anarchy
24 Season 1 (Hindi)

(Sorry) Spate of hindi TV serials are still the same. Kapil has started boring, CID is a joke anyway, Everest was dead on arrival (with over hyped Ashutosh Govarikar). Yuddh! Less said the better. The only series that I wait each week on Hindi Networks is Crime Patrol. This one sure does have a meat. I mean script, acting, thrill, and message. Waiting for Anil Kapoor's 24 to see what they do with the next season.

Bring it on!

Hi Febpreet.
These are some of the serials we enjoyed on netflix.
Scandal, Damages, Kidnap & Ransom, White Collar, Prison Break, Leverage, Lost
Some of these serials are old ones , but for me I had not seen those.

Thanks Peacock1. I cancelled my Netflix membership last month. I have XBMC installed on my laptop and could watch more shows/movies than what Netflix provides. Why pay when you can watch the same thing absolutely free of cost.

Couldn't have been happier.
