Is anybody watching any of the original Netflix IP?
I watched both seasons of Orange is the New Black in about 4 days total. Loved it. (No spoilers).
I am on episode 5 of Killer. And i might watch the first season of Hemlock Grove.
I have not seen House of Cards.

Sad to say the third season if orange is the new black was canceled.......apparently the CEO thought the male roles needed more screen time and that the female cast were bad role models for portraying prison life like a Martha Stewart OZ
-
I saw that article about Orange is the New Black being cancelled. I actually thought it was a joke because it just seemed like one of those onion type articles. That sucks because i liked that show.
I have heard good things about House of Cards and really want to start that soon. I do like me some Kevin Spacey.

I watched a portion of the Netflix only Arrested Development season, and it wasn't nearly as good as the first two seasons which were on TV.
All of the shows you mentioned everyone loves though, maybe I'll crack and watch them someday.
...though Hulu currently has me won over with the Criterion movies instead.
-
House of Cards is good, silly fun. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are fantastic in it, but the show is sorta ridiculous.
I loved the fourth season of Arrested Development. I thought the way they handled it was pretty incredible. Check out this article to find how many crazy hidden jokes are in that season:

Derek is also a really good watch, though it's not so much a true "Netflix Original".
Haven't watched OitNB yet, but no, it hasn't been canceled:

That final season of Arrested Development was unbearable. Do it right or just don't do it, Hollywood. I want actors sharing a scene to actually be co-present during filming. Simple enough.
Back on topic: I watched a few episodes of Orange...it didn't hold my attention. I'm currently reading the original Nancy Drew series with my daughter...so that should tell you where my mind is. If a show can't compete with Nancy Drew...well, it is simply not worthy of my time.
-
Arrested Development was the only one I cared about. Now hurry that shit out on DVD, dammit! I wanna watch it again!
-
I thought Orange is the New Black was primarily a chick show. My wife swares by it and has been trying to get me to watch it. I guess since so many of you have good things to say about it I will have to check it out.

There are boobs and lulz... pretty well done show. Took a few episodes before I started to care for it. Might not have given it a fair chance if my girlfriend at the time hadn't been watching it.
I watched 1 maybe 2 episodes, then I stopped watching it. I guess I should have given it more time.

I use to watch That 70's Show, and always knew I wanted to see Laura Prepon's boobs. Then I realized I want to see most any young, curvy and cute chicks boobs. But that got me to give Orange Is the New Black a chance. After 3-4 episodes I was hooked. Watched the first season, episode by episode. Then when they released Season 2 .. I power watched it in a single weekend.
Appears the cancellation is indeed a hoax. Some people have nothing better to do with their time.

Friends keep telling me to check out House of Cards, saying it's great. It's on my list of shows to watch, just haven't gotten around to it yet. I can blame the Turbo Everdrive I picked up for that :D
As for Arrested Development .. I was disappointed when it was cancelled. But then realized after watching the recently releases seasons that I was disappointed more with those. For me, I stopped watching after a handful of episodes and will just leave it as-is in my memory.
-
I didn't know Laura Prepon was in Orange is the new Black. Now I'm intrigued. :P

I knew it was fake. That just seemed a little too outrageous.
But is there a Laura Prepon boob shot? I don't remember. I'll have to go back and rewatch that now.

Pilot Episode - Shower Scene - Win
She is in the first episode? I thought her character came in a little later on.

NSFW, yet something to check out. Lists the scene I am referencing and some others that you might want to look at (you know .. for science)

Pretty sure it was the pilot. It was a flashback explaining the lybian relationship between Piper and Topheavy that ultimately led to Piper's incarceration.
Checked back, it's in the first 10 seconds of the first episode. :mrgreen:
-
They are as nice as I imagined them .. of course in my That 70's Show fantasy .. well, you know. Mila Kunis also :mrgreen: I know Mila's are small, but she's fine !
-
Oh, you guys. :D

Only Netflix original I ever watched was Orange is the New Black. Watched both seasons in less than a week. Didn't know they canceled season three until I started reading this thread. That sucks.
Edit: read cancellation was a hoax. Whew.
-
I thought House of Cards was great.
Arrested Development season 4 I didn't like as much. I loved the first three seasons and was cautiously optimistic that the 4th season would retain the same magic; in the end it didn't give me the same feeling as the original. I wasn't really enjoying it until about half-way through where I thought it kinda picked up. I may go back and watch it again at some point to see if my opinion changes.
-
I really enjoy Hemlock Grove. I haven't watched any of the others however...
-
Orange is the new Black is indeed a good show. Watched both seasons with the lady right as they came out.
If you like bewbs, you'll like the show. It's pretty well written - way better than Weeds (same show creator worked on both).
Still not Breaking Bad, but nothing else is.
-
I've been watching "the Killing". If you like law and order svu, it's right up your alley.
A bit slow at times, but I'm enjoying it. Hemlock is up next.

Wondering how many of you use network trickery to get international Netflix content. I am located in Canada .. and Canadian Netlfix is missing some content that is available in the US. I use unblock-us.com in order to move my DNS and allow me to access US and many other regions. Also lets me use NHL Game Center and bypass all the regional blackout crap. What content have people found in other regions of Netflix that is interesting.
-
Never had the inclination to region surf... is it worth it? What have you found?
For me the reason I paid for the DNS service was motivated by NHL Hockey. I wanted one service that would allow me to watch all my Flyers games. Given I live near Toronto, I get only Leafs, Habs, Sens games on the local sports channels. So bought NHL Game Center, but was experiencing blackouts for my region based on those other teams. So this service has allowed me to bypass all these damn blackouts.
As for Netflix, the Canadian version at the time had a lot less content. So allowing us access to US Netflix was very useful, especially for kids content (for my 7 year old). I have yet to really look at other regions besides Canada and US. So was curious if others found interesting shows in other regions. Suspect England/UK might have something worthwhile. But honestly have not checked yet.

Off the top of my head I cant think of anything unique to uk Netflix. I use a vpn to access US content.
Edit: There actually is different content now I have checked. Few Disney films and a quiz show I really like called QI
