    Renewing netflix tomorrow and need suggestions on what to watch. Ive watched/enjoyed :

    the walking dead / prison break

    thats pretty much it. I gave other shows a try - such as 24 and lost, but didnt like them. I will be giving breaking bad another shot. What other tv shows are great / addicting?

    Same goes for movies. I need suggestions. thanks in advance.

    You gotta go Breaking Bad or Dexter if you want a drama. If you're looking for a comedy, Parks and Recreation is an obvious must.

    I haven't watched these, but I've heard very good things about Orange is the New Black and Scandal. Mad Men never has interested me but people love that show so that could be a good one too.

    I just started watching Arrested Development on Netflix. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Another good series to watch is a British Comedy called the IT Crowd.

    im more interested in tv shows than movies....so i'd prefer the majority of suggestions to be tv shows.

    with that said, when did dexter hit netflix? i heard its good - is it?

    I liked white collar. Breaking bad is great. Sons of anarchy us fantastic. Walking dead is pretty good. I hear scandal is good, along with orange is the new black. I tried getting into house of cards, which i heard was good, but couldn't.

    I think Dexter is on par with Breaking Bad for the first 4 seasons, but it gets considerably worse after the 4th season.

    just did some brief research on Orange is new black - and it appears it has a lot of nudity - both male and female private part nudity? not comfortable watching that sort of stuff with little sister around - she's only 4, but i wouldnt want her seeing that.

    Dexter got on Netflix about a month ago i think. Its a really awesome show until they get to the point where to many people know about his secret and it goes past what the show was meant to be.

    i didnt even watch the last season because i didnt want to completely ruin my memory of the show...

    If you are trying to avoid sexual content I think your choices are about to dwindle considerably...

    oh yeah its definitely more for an adult audience but i would still recommend it for when your alone and could use some laughs... it has nudity but its not totally in your face trying to be sexy or anything.

    I wouldn't recommend you watch Breaking Bad around the 4 year old either, its still a fantastic show though.

    if you want something to watch with the youngster you could maybe get into to Parenthood or something...
