"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

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 Vincent! 0

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 looooove this new take on Sherlock! He's like a messy Sheldon hopped up on nicotine :laugh:0 -
Supernatural
Merlin
The 4400
Stargate SG1
The Guild
The Walking Dead
I ADORE The 4400, such a shame it got cancelled, the final episode was fantastic!
Babylon 5 (woooooo)
American Gothic - very short lived but awesome
Farscape
Twin Peaks - one of my all time fav tv shows
Spaced0 -
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.0 -
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.0 -
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 lol0 -
Resident Evil Degeneration
Lost
The Guild
Weird Science was on there for a bit
The Office
Titan AE
FLCL
Death Note
Host Club

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.0 -
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 -

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.

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.
