    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.

    I'm staying in tonight so I think I may have to check out Lovecraft later. I remember seeing the trailer for it before.

    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:

    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!!

    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...

    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? :D

    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:

    Black Books is definitely worth watching! We're watching Archer and Better of Ted currently.

    I'm still trying to get through Farscape and Buffy for the second time. I forgot how many episodes there were.
