    Next month, towards the end of August, I may look to renewing my Netflix subscription.

    I've never been a paying customer, I've just tried out a few free 30 day trials, and it was good and all, but the lack of good tv shows and movies was disappointing.

    The only tv shows worth watching for me were seasons 1&2 of walking dead, and prison break.

    (dont recommend breaking bad, i tried to like it but i just don't)

    Are there any other notable great tv shows that are coming to netflix that are currently out, or will be out by next month?

    I guess it all depends on what you like. I find there's too much stuff on Netflix for me to keep up with, so I have the opposite problem. Right now I'm just going through all 11 seasons of Frasier. I've probably watched 30-40% of the episodes throughout the years but definitely not all of them.
    Original Netflix shows like House of Cards is good.

    House of Cards was pretty awesome
    Battlestar Gallactica is pretty good.
    Arrested Development is popular, so is Weeds
    How I Met Your Mother
    Fringe
    Family Guy
    Lost
    Archer

    There's a lot really.

    Idk if you just watched only 1 or 2 episodes of BB, but watch at least 5 episodes. It get's so much better after the 1st 2 episodes.

    If you should renew it or not is totally up to you. I subscribe to the streaming and one DVD rental at a time. I use both regularly.

    If you don't use it, then don't renew, if you do use it then renew.

    If you don't feel like they offer much of what you want right now, then don't renew but keep your eye open for netflix exclusives like Arrested Deveolpment, or House of Cards and if something comes out you want to see, you can subscribe to netflix then.

    Why haven't they released a censored version of that television series? That's the only thing stopping me from watching it since I've heard it's full of nudity and that's not really safe to watch in the living room with kids around.

    House of cards. Especially if it's any indication of where the company is going. Such a great show.

    If you can afford it then pay for Netflix/Amazon. If you can't afford it, then get a job you bum.
