Geeky Stuff on NETFLIX

Ok, a few that I don't see mentioned here:
Battlestar Galactica (Both the new and the old are up there, but the new one is much better!)
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (at least the first 2/3, in any case)
Warehouse 13
VanDread
Carl Sagan's The Cosmos0 -
Eureka
Better Off Ted
Sliders
Hackers
The League
Dinner for Five0 -
The Guild
Supernatural = If you try getting into now on TV stop. Start from the begining and watch the first 5 seasons. Love the show but still think it could have ended nice right there.
Twin Peaks
Dr. Who.= I still can't get into the new ones for some reason. Loved the old ones, all the way back to the first DR.
The last Lovecraft: Relic of Cthulhu
The Call of Cthulhu
and all the obvious ones that everyone knows about and are trying to find time to watch.
Supernatural - ugh! I so agree. It was my favorite for so long. Now I can barely stand it.
Another Lovecraft fan! I'm so there!
I boycotted the reboot of Doctor Who. Then I moved to Vegas. My roomie and dear friend called herself a sci-fi junkie but had never even HEARD of Doctor Who. Turned out the pilot ep of the reboot was on BBC America, so I made her watch it. I am still kicking myself for the boycott! She was crazy excited to see how Captain Jack came to be. She is a HUGE Torchwood fan but had never known it was a spin-off.
PS: It took me quite some time to adjust to the current Doctor. But now I adore him. He may even be my favorite.
The soundtrack is fantabulous for riding Red Rock Canyon.

The Gamers: Dorkness Rising
Not the best movie cinematography wise, but absolutely hysterical if you're a gamer of any kind.
OMG my sister and I quote that movie obsessively ... We also make people watch it lol
"He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind. But he who... sticks out in darkness... is... fluorescent!"0 -
I haven't had netflix for like a year now but I was surprised no one mentioned Stargate. I watched like 4-5 episodes a day of Atlantis until I had seen them all. Lots of good picks here though, it makes me want to get Netflix again.0

Had anyone seen and liked Repo! The Genetic Opera? Its not geeky per se, but it's dystopian and weird, and I loved it!0

I am totally kicking myself not not mentioning Stargate! Loved the movie, and SG-1 was fantastic. Atlantis was okay, but I think I was too in love with the characters from SG-1 to really connect. Did you watch Stargate Universe? Wasn't my favorite, but it was pretty good. Robert Carlyle was great in it, as he always is...I'm now enjoying his character of "Mr.Gold" in Once Upon a Time. You should check out Hulu + as well. There are a ton of new TV shows there.0 -
The thing with Atlantis is that you have to make it through the first two seasons before it starts getting really good.
Also, Lovecraft fans are everywhere, you just have to look for us--but be aware you may get more than you bargained for.0 -
I have a pretty wide range of genres I enjoy....everything from horror to sci-fi to docu-dramas to crime/suspense. I've been watching more movies than tv shows.
Anywho, here's a few that I've watched:
Firefly
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (the movie AND the show LOL)
The Perfect Host (great movie!)
The Way Back
Jay & Silent Bob
Suspect Zero
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
The girl next door (very disturbing & based on a true story)
Red State
Ugly Americans
King of the Hill
House I & II
The Disappeared
Girl who played w/ Fire (swedish version trilogy)
And many, many more. LOL0 -
Totally agree with all the above. Just had to give an extra shout out for SPACED. There's something for every kind of geek in that show.

Not TV shows, but there are TONS of great movies (geeky and otherwise) on there as well.
A couple of lesser-well-known ones I've seen on Netflix recently and really enjoyed were:
- Wristcutters: a love story, which is about the afterlife for people who kill themselves, which is just like the real world, just slightly worse. It's hilarious and quirky.
- Ink, which is about people who control our dreams (some who bring good dreams and others who bring nightmares) battling over the soul of a little girl. I'm not describing it very well, but it was very good. If anyone saw the movie version of the russian book Nightwatch and enjoyed it you'd like this movie.
They're not straight up space ships and aliens geeky, but there's elements of sci-fi/fantasy in both of them.
I have the entire "Nightwatch" series....I'll have to check out Ink. It's in my que, just haven't been too motivated to see it.0 -
I'm staying in tonight so I think I may have to check out Lovecraft later. I remember seeing the trailer for it before.0

The Walking Dead and Firefly are the best shows ever!! Daryl Dixon and Jayne Cobb.. mmm0

Sherlock.
If you haven't seen it, get it. Get it NOW!
Written by Steven Moffat. The man who made Doctor Who a household name. Er, title?
(is anyone else offended by how trendy The Doctor has become?)
The second season comes out in May. Again, with the sadly short seasons. The fellow who plays Sherlock has signed on for the next JJ Abrams Star Trek.

I love Sherlock as well. 3 episodes was nowhere near enough! And thanks for the reminder, I forgot the next set was coming out soon.
SHERLOCK. I love Sherlock.
Season 2 is already out and finished with in the UK, my friend has a VPN so we cheated and watched it on BBC's site. You guys are in for a great season :happy:0 -
one of my all-time favorite movies Harold and Maude0

MST3K and The League are my current favorites that I have been enjoying!0

The IT Crowd
seriously... if you have never seen it... look it up. I added it to our queue one day just because the description of the show sounded hilarious. I'm now addicted and have gotten most of the people in my office addicted to this show.
It's an incredibly funny British comedy with horrible short seasons, but you can watch it OVER AND OVER and still just laugh your butt off.
I am normally not a fan of British comedy, but I ADORE the IT Crowd! The D&D episode in Season 4 totally cracke me up!!0 -
This is so very far from all, but this is what I've actually been watching lately, while working:
Stargate SG1
Stargate Atlantis
and Seaquest DSV, which I don't think anyone's mentioned yet!
Also, because it WAS mentioned--Ink is one of my favorite movies! It's very surreal, has minimal speaking, and is purposefully disorienting. It's also absolutely gorgeous.
I also find this geeky: Into the Woods...I stream it often if I'm cutting patterns so I can sing along. It makes the time go faster.
Tin Man and Jekyll are two other series that I watch over and over when they're up, but I don't know if they're still listed on the instant queue...0 -
lately it's been Workaholics, Firefly and Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Workaholics is freakin' hilarious!
and Portlandia if you've never seen it! so funny!0 -
Robotech The Complete Series
Robotech The Shadow Chronicles
Metropia
Between The Folds0 -
Doctor Who
Bcc Robin Hood
I'm obsessed with Sherlock, seriously WATCH IT! pure genius!
Office Space
warehouse 13
Jekyll
Weird Science0 -
Eureka
Better Off Ted
Sliders
Hackers
The League
Dinner for Five
I loved Better off Ted! I'm so sad they never made more episodes. I tried watching Portlandia and really wanted to enjoy it but it was a bit too much for me and I found the characters to be aggravating rather than funny or interesting/endearing.
How about Ugly Americans and Archer?

Archer is awesome!
My favorite episode ever has to be the one where they were taking the fugitive back to Canada lololol, the bit with the train ha ha0 -

Totally agree! Archer is great. I think my favorite is where Archer and Lana are going to protect the natural gas pipeline from eco-terrorists. Or maybe the ski lodge one, or the computer virus attacking the mainframe, or when Mallory starts dating Burt Reynolds...it's too hard to pick, they are all hilarious! :laugh:0 -
Okay, that's it - I've had Archer in my queue for months now and you've convinced me to finally watch it!0

Has anyone mentioned Red Dwarf yet? Or Black Adder?0

I don't know who suggested Spaced, but THANK YOU! Watched it in marathon form this weekend and loved it! A friend suggested Black Books and I am now watching that.0

Black Books is definitely worth watching! We're watching Archer and Better of Ted currently.0 -
I'm still trying to get through Farscape and Buffy for the second time. I forgot how many episodes there were.0
