I've been watching the original 1950s Twilight Zone series on Netflix lately. For such an old show, it has aged quite well.

I didn't really like Lo. I normally like campy horror but I just couldn't really get into it.



To each their own. I just loved how it reminded me of a play. I used to do theater so it hit me in the feels.

I agree. I love watching the Twilight Zone again and again. It's also fun to see who I recognize-like Shatner and Redford.

It certainly has. The writing is timeless. And Rod Serling was amazing.


If anyone hasn't watched Clue then now's as good a time as any. Just be warned, Communism's a red herring.

I cannot suggest The Twilight Zone enough. Rod Serling, "The Angry Young Man of Hollywood".

Look up his wikipedia. He was awesome.

Also Fido is a great film about a boy and his zombie.

Last time I had Netflix, these were on instant:

Quincy, M.E. - arguable the first medical examiner show. Quincy was so angry. Its awesome.

Columbo - I can't even say enough about this show, you guys! It totally re-wrote...everything. When you watch it, do not be surprised because you know who the killer is at first. Just let Columbo blow your mind at how he figures it out.

"Oh, and one more thing..."

I've never even heard of this. It sounds right up my alley, I'll search it out.

EDIT 2: Oh oh, (I realize this is mostly for Netflix but) if you have Hulu, the first season of Booth at the End is incredible.


Hulu is fine too, I just personally want to avoid recommending anything that someone would have to steal or risk getting malware or anything like that.

Not sure if it's on Netflix, but "Bronson" is a spectacular film.

WARNING: You will see Tom Hardy's penis.

If you like comics and superhero stuff I would recommend Astonishng X-men. It's a still motion short series. The episodes are only like 12 minutes long. Really well done though. Actually, there's a couple other still motion marvel series out there. The Iron Man one is really good too.

I've been getting into Fringe a lot, recently. I'm not generally a huge JJ Abrams kind of guy, but I like Fringe. It takes a few episodes to hit it's stride a bit, but it's actually very easy to burn through them in bunches once it does. It's one of those shows where if you miss an episode, you're probably going to be completely lost (....I swear that wasn't meant to be a pun) but it's sort of handy to have on netflix for just that reason. I'd recommend it, anyway.
