Friday Night Break...from these stressful times. DU's Netflix Group...

[KoKo]

There's some good stuff over there.. But, I'm Plugging "Better off Ted" instant for the beloved Geeks, Scientists and Corporate Culture folks amongst us in the DU Community.

There's other good stuff in the NETFLIX DU GROUP for DU'ers don't think to check it out on weekends. I've gotten some great Watches and Reviews from there.

1. I am watching Spiral.

French series w/subtitles. I am only into the 4th episode of 40, but it is rather entertaining. I just finished the Swedish version of Wallander. Can't figure out why Netflix put up season 2, but no season 1.

3. They may have removed it.

I think I watched it a while back.

Check out the British version with Keneth Branagh, too. Same name, slightly different style, but good.

5. I did watch the British version

last year.

From what I gather, series 1 has not been offered yet.

6. I watched it a while back

Can't remember whether I saw series 1 or not.

I have learned that sometimes music is used in a series or an episode to which they don't have streaming rights. That happened in about three episodes of Xena. No poblem for DVDs. They arraign rights in advance, but this streaming stuff, being new, they never thought to arrange rights for that. Therefore, they can't stream those episodes.

7. I recently got to watch 3 episodes

of Inspector Morse before they pulled it. I found out they put it up in error, as they were only authorized to stream in the UK. Many angry people over that error.
After reading many reviews I found the reason for the disappearance.

9. They just recently readded season five od Fringe

They put it up too soon in August.

2. You're right

Good stuff over there. I watched many a good series or movie that I would have missed otherwise.

11. I binged-watched Better Off Ted

over a 3 day stretch (only about 25 episodes) I loved it, it was extremely funny.
Also binge-watched Orange is the New Black a while back, as well as House of Cards.

12. In memory of a great series, I'm currently on a Futurama binge.

Also watched How to Survive a Plague a couple days ago.

13. How "weird"

I watched a documentary on George McGovern on Netflix (it was great) ... and then came out here to my computer because I couldn't think of anything else to watch and found this thread. Pretty cool!
