    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.

    While not perhaps strictly geeky to some.... The TV Show Breaking Bad could fit for some... I have a friend who is a chemistry buff and I told him about the show mostly for the geeky ish factor of it and he loved it. It's one of my favorite shows for sure!

  • Merlin!!!!!!!!!! It's a BBC series that takes place in an alternate universe Camelot. Merlin and Arthur are the same age and Uther is still alive. Uther HATES MAGIC!!! So Merlin has to keep his magic a secret. It's full of wacky shenanigans and twists on the Arthurian legend. I love it!

    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.

    Oo!

    Leverage.

    Anyone watch that? I was shocked the first time their resident computer genious mentioned Doctor Who. (of course now it's all trendy and stuff...) There are Doctor Who and Torchwood references throughout the program.

    Not the best movie cinematography wise, but absolutely hysterical if you're a gamer of any kind.

    Oh my gosh, I love that show! Particularly the episode where they convince Jen that Stephen Hawking has loaned her The Internet!

  • Anyone remember the 80's TV show Beauty and the Beast? With Linda Hamilton. They have it on Netflix, only some of the episodes :grumble: but George R.R. Martin worked on the show and he is in one of the episodes! It was fun to watch them after not seeing them for so long. Plus I :heart: Vincent!

    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.

    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.

    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.
